Already in the second round of Scotiabank GTHL playoffs, the East has seen its share of surprises. The fifth-seeded North York Knights, who managed to defeat the fourth place Ted Reeve Thunder in the first round, ended their first game against first place Forest Hill in a scoreless draw. Meanwhile, two weekend games between North Toronto and the Leaside Flames both ended in a 2-2 tie. The two teams exchanged wins back and forth all season long, with both teams ending the season with identical 25-7-4 records.

The first round is just finishing up in the West, with the higher seeded team-leading each of the four series’. A Family Day win for the Duffield Devils secured a series sweep. They will await their opponent for round two, with the Mississauga North Stars currently leading the Mississauga Terriers 4-0 in the series.
