(1)Underdogs vs Venom(5)

Venom gets hot in second half

For nearly half the game, Venom had nothing going for them. In fact, it was the Underdogs playing with a slight 1-0 lead on a power play goal by P.Younes. Then finally, A.Jalilvand ended the spell just shy of the mid way point of the match. The game looked to be levelled headed for the third period, but J.Courteau changed all that to put his club up for the first time. That tally was a foreshadowing of what was yet to come. Venom would ignite three unanswered goals that included Courteau's second of the match along with B.Deslaurier's third point in that period alone. The Underdogs weren't playing for anything expect for pride and did a fine job for most of the night.

(3)Winterhawks vs Les Raymonds(6)

A.Henein hat trick powers Les Raymonds to strong season end

Les Raymonds didn't score first but that didn't matter. After playing to a 1-1 first period, Les Raymonds took control of the game striking four times by the second. During that span, A.Henein nodded a pair to complete his hat trick. M.Deninno did collect the most points scoring once while setting up three goals. The Winterhawks had the opportunity to secure a playoff spot with a win but couldn't get it done, and were now stuck to see what the RBK Knights would do in the later game versus the Kentucky Blue.

(5)Armadillos vs United Armenians(4)

Armadillos secure top spot in battle for first place

The last time both these teams met, the United Armenians took the battle with a wild 7-6 result. Now, weeks later, and with first place on the line, both sides figured this contest would go down to the wire as well.  It's what came to be expected with two teams dominating the division. The match was ultimately decided with about three minute's remaining on the clock. J.Urquhart played the hero breaking a dreaded 4-4 tie after receiving a pass-from G.Bouchard, who continues to shine adding four more helpers to his total .Looking back, the United Armenians may have felt they let this one slip away. Good teams usually protect a two goal third period lead but not in tonight's case as the United Armenians will have to deal with the hic up.

(4)Kentucky Blue vs RBK Knights(3)

Optimistic late rally ends in sinking feeling for Knights

It didn't even matter if the RBK Knights won the game or not. As long as they were able to push it to a shootout, then it would have been just fine for a playoff spot. Instead, they saw the life taken away-from them when T.Oliveira buried his third for the sudden death winner. That one single point was all the RBK Knights needed, and they nearly got it after a remarkable third period comeback. Unfortunately, they couldn't contain the hot hand of Oliveira, who finished his season with a solid 16 goals for second place in that category.

The SalumiVino player of the night goes to Tyson Oliveira of the Kentucky Blue. Again, the sniper was significant for the win. Oliveira scored three out of his clubs four goals that included a back breaking overtime winner versus the RBK Knights.

The F2 & F3 regular season came to an end on Wednesday night. Both divisions will have the top five seeds advance with the fourth spot playing the fifth spot while the top three get an automatic pass to the semi finals. The breakdown is as follows:

F2 division:

(4)Venom vs Fat Roy(5) With their limited goal scoring production, Fat Roy will need to combine getting enough offense while making the game very unpleasant for Venom's high powered attack.

F3 division:

(4)United Arms vs Winterhawks(5) Goal scoring should be a wash for both teams. However, the United Arms have shown that they can defend better. Unless the Winterhawks tighten their back end, the edge will go to the United Arms.
