It is nearly go-time for the Junior A

The Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League has finalized its format and timeline for the upcoming 2023 playoffs to win the Copeland Cup – McNamara Trophy.
Commissioner Robert Mazzuca says of the league’s 12-member clubs, the top four in each of its two divisions will qualify for postseason competition.
He adds round 1 play will feature divisional semi-final action with the No. 1 seed taking on the No. 4 side and the No. 2 squad meeting No. 3 respectively in best-of-seven play from March 24 through April 4.
