Port Huron Icehawks News Release


PORT HURON, Mich. - The Port Huron Icehawks are gearing up for a meeting with in-state rival the Flint Generals in the first round of the International Hockey League Turner Cup playoffs.

The Icehawks clinched a playoff spot last week, while the Generals clinched last night with a win over Kalamazoo. The only thing yet to be determined is which team will hold home ice advantage in the best of seven series. The Icehawks need just one point to guarantee second place and home ice advantage in the first round. They can clinch second with a win, overtime loss or shootout loss in either of their two remaining regular season games or a Flint loss in any of the Generals three remaining games.

The seven-game series will begin next weekend. The complete schedule is as follows. All dates are subject to change:

Game 1: Friday, April 18, 7:30 p.m., Home

Game 2: Saturday, April 19, 7:30 p.m., Home
