FOURTH PLACE IN THE CONFERENCE

The Chiefs need just one more point or a Portland loss this weekend to clinch home-ice advantage in the first round. Fourth place in the conference will guarantee the Chiefs home ice advantage in the first round.

THIRD PLACE IN THE CONFERENCE

Spokane needs to win both games this weekend against Tri-City.

FIRST PLACE IN THE CONFERENCE

Spokane needs to win both games against Tri-City, beat Everett and then hope for the Silvertips to earn no more than three out of four points in their other two games this weekend, both home games against Seattle and Chilliwack.

SECOND PLACE IN THE CONFERENCE

Out of the question. That spot is reserved for the B.C. Division champion Vancouver Giants.

Tickets to all home games are available by calling the Chiefs office at (509) 535-PUCK or TicketsWest at (800) 325-SEAT.
