This postseason series is the second all-time between the two U.S. Division rivals in the WHL Playoffs. They last met in 2013-14, when the Silvertips were defeated by the Thunderbirds, 4-1 in the opening round.
The Silvertips achieved a record of 6-2-1-1 against the Thunderbirds this year in regular season play and went 4-0-0-1 in five meetings at XFINITY Arena. Led by head coach Kevin Constantine, currently in his seventh overall season behind the bench, the Silvertips swept the Portland Winterhawks in four games last night to advance to the second round of the WHL Playoffs in back-to-back seasons.
In association with the Silvertips 13th appearance in the WHL Playoffs in 13 seasons, the #BelieveInGreen playoff campaign encourages fans to rally the Silvertips all throughout the playoffs with their support in attendance at XFINITY Arena, and on each Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram account.
