Separated by only three points entering the final days of the Kraft Cup regular season, the Markham Majors, Toronto Red Wings and Vaughan Kings each went undefeated over the weekend. Only the Majors and Red Wings, however, managed to clinch a postseason season berth. 

Majors forward Artem Suyargulov (3-1—4) scored the tying goal with one second left in regulation to complete his hat trick and help his club earn a 7-7 tie with the Red Wings on Saturday. Teammate Ivan Volkov also scored a hat trick and finished with four points.

The Majors then earned a 2-1 win over the Toronto Titans on Sunday to clinch the seventh spot and a first-round matchup against the Don Mills Flyers. 

After the Kings earned back-to-back 3-1 wins over the Mississauga Senators and Mississauga Rebels, the Red Wings needed one point against the North York Rangers on Sunday afternoon to clinch the final playoff berth.

Trailing 4-3, forward Kyle Lane found the back of the net at 4:41 of the third period to knot the score and Griffen Coutts shut the door the rest of the way to help the Red Wings secure a tie and the eighth seed.

After dropping a 3-1 decision in Saturday’s matchup against the Don Mills Flyers, the Mississauga Reps picked up a 3-0 win over the Toronto Marlboros on Sunday to finish the season at 11-14-8 (30 points) and secure the sixth playoff spot.
