The biggest week of the season for the Home Hardware AAA Legionnaires begins tonight in Notre Dame.

     Three points out of the final playoff spot, the Legionnaires head to Wilcox to play the Argos.  The game is the prelude to a playoff-like, two-game set on home ice over the weekend against the Saskatoon Blazers.

     The Legionnaires trail the Blazers by three points for the final playoff spot with five games to play.

     Head Coach Regan Darby says their playoff run is virtually underway.  "Well, that's exactly what it is, playoffs are starting a little earlier than we wanted and that's the reality.  We have some big games coming up, including an 8-point weekend (vs the Blazers) so we have to take advantage of that."

     The Legionnaires are 16-18-4-1 on the season.  They will host the Telus Cup Regional Tournament in April.
