The Bantam AA Humboldt Broncos begin their playoff quest on Friday night at the Elgar Petersen Arena, when they host the Battlefords Barons.

After a strong start to the season, the Broncos had an up and down second half of the regular season and wound up in 7th place in the North Division standings.

Teams placing 7th to 10th play in a survivor series format, with the two series winners entering the main bracket to join the six other teams.

Humboldt met the Barons twice in the regular season, not allowing a goal in 6-0 and 9-0 shutout victories.

Face-off on Friday night at the EPA is 7:15pm. Game 2 is in North Battleford Saturday afternoon, while a deciding game - if necessary - will be in LeRoy at 1:00pm on Sunday.
