It's the second straight post-season the Rockets and Thunderbirds will meet. Last year the two teams met in the first round in an epic series that saw Kelowna come back from down 3-0 to Seattle to win the series, becoming just the second team in WHL history to complete the rare come-back.
Five of the seven games in the series went to overtime, including the seventh and deciding game, won by a Tyson Baillie goal.
The Rockets and Thunderbirds both needed five games to get past the first round this year. Kelowna beat Tri-City in five games with a 4-1 win on Friday night while Seattle ousted Everett in five games, ending that series on Saturday night.
