Just two points separated the Titans Hockey Union and Langley Hockey Academy during the regular season. Two is a common theme for these clubs, Langley and the Titans also met only twice during the season, with the Titans taking both, 5-2 and 7-2, but haven’t met since October 20th.
They are the only two teams to have beaten South Sask HC this season. Langley did it in the regular season with a 3-2 win and the Titans Hockey Union pulled it off twice when it counted, with a sweep in the Alberta Championship.
The two clubs’ rode into the postseason red hot and haven’t lost a game in the playoffs with Ty Warnick leading the way for Langley offensively with 7 goals and 10 points in 4 games, while Matthew Busch has paced the Titans with 5 goals and 6 points in 4 games.
In goal Landon Strausse missed a good portion of the season after a knee injury, but made up for lost time, going 9-0 in the regular season with 4 more wins in 4 playoff games. Langley has split the duties during the playoffs with Mason Guiel and Milo Cosco both getting a pair of starts.
But just how close is this series? Along with just a single win separating them, the teams are only 7 goals apart in plus/minus, both heavily on the plus side.
