The Hurricanes are off to the second round of the 2025 Western Hockey League playoffs.
Lethbridge dispatched the Brandon Wheat Kings 5-2 on Friday night at the VisitLethbridge.com Arena to win their first-round series 4-1.
Next in the Hurricanes’ sights are the Calgary Hitmen, who swept the Saskatoon Blades in the first-round.
This will mark the first time since the 2019 WHL Playoffs that the teams meet in the post-season. That year, Lethbridge was bested by Calgary in seven games.
In five prior playoff series, the Hurricanes are 1-4 against the Hitmen. Their only series win came in the Eastern Conference Championships in 2008.
During the 2024-25 regular season, Lethbridge posted a record of 2-5-1-0 against Calgary.
The second round series schedule is as follows:
- Game One – Thursday, April 10 at 7 p.m. (Scotiabank Saddledome, Calgary)
- Game Two – Saturday, April 12 at 6 p.m. (Scotiabank Saddledome, Calgary)
- Game Three – Tuesday, April 15 at 7 p.m. (VisitLethbridge.com Arena, Lethbridge)
- Game Four – Wednesday, April 16 at 7 p.m. (VisitLethbridge.com Arena, Lethbridge)
If necessary, game five is scheduled for Friday, April 18 at 7 p.m. in Calgary, with game six slated for Saturday, April 19 in Lethbridge.
A potential game seven would be in Calgary, but the Hurricanes say a date and time for that game would be announced at a later date.
