Both nights, the audience in the stands was just over a thousand.
91Ô´´ 91Ô´´ started out extremely well, firing shots early and often on the Express net. They were able to get the first goal of the game with 9:25 gone in the first period. Keenan Ingram fed Ryan Schelling in tight on Coquitlam goaltender Andrew Ness who made a great first save, but on the rebound Schelling fed Ingram who redirected home his 10th of the season to make it 1-0 91Ô´´.
91Ô´´ would outshoot Coquitlam 13-11 in the first period, but it would remain 1-0 after 20 minutes of play.
The visitors would tie it with 6:54 gone in the second period on a loose puck in front of the 91Ô´´ net on a power play, tying it up 1-1.
A back-and-forth second period would become a goaltender duel as both Ness and 91Ô´´â€™s Dylan Johnson kept the Express at bay the remainder of the middle frame stopping 13/14 Coquitlam attempts in the frame.
Ben Portner would intercept an Express attempted pass from behind their own net, and carry the puck out front and rip it over the left shoulder of Ness for his 20th of the season, and a 2-1 91Ô´´ lead after 40.
Coquitlam would tie it in the third period with five minutes remaining, and won the game 55 seconds into overtime on a "great play" by Thomas Zocco.
Saturday’s game got started really well for 91Ô´´ as Davids Livsics one timed home his 8th of the season to make it 1-0 91Ô´´ with 2:07 gone in the game.
However, the Chiefs scored 1:58 after the first 91Ô´´ goal, and added another 18 seconds later to lead 2-1 early in the first period.
Only 1:08 after the Chiefs second goal, they added another on a quick shot from the right wing side, and Chilliwack would go into the second period leading 3-1.
Connor Dick scored his second of the game 2:09 into the middle frame to make it 4-1 Chiefs.
Chilliwack scored with 1:52 remaining in the second period to lead 5-1, however 48 seconds later Livsics scored his second of the game and 9th of the season to make it just a three-goal game in a must win game for 91Ô´´ going into the third.
91Ô´´ scored two goals in 1:17 as Livsics scored his spectacular hat trick goal, and Keenan Ingram grabbed his 11th of the season on a one timer from the right side to make it 5-4 with plenty of time left.
However, after some solid 91Ô´´ pressure, Chilliwack would score again making it 6-4.
91Ô´´ would not be out done though, with 3:35 left in the third Jackson Krill scored his 15th and final junior hockey goal to make it close at 6-5, but that’s as close as the 91Ô´´ would come as the Chiefs scored into the empty net late making it a 7-5 final.
Prince George won against Powell River on Sunday at home ensuring although the two team’s would be tied with 52 points, the Spruce Kings would advance on wins in the tie breaker to secure the eighth and final playoff spot in the BCHL’s Coastal conference, thus ending 91Ô´´â€™s season.
Defeat of the 91Ô´´ on their own home ice at The Lodge in George Preston Recreation Centre also helped solidify Chilliwack’s first-place position in the Coastal conference standings with 79 points, while the weekend defeats put the 91Ô´´ (21-23-9) into ninth place with 52 points.
