We must understand that neither team is playing for a spot in the Memorial Cup. As Halifax is the host, the Huskies have received an automatic bid to the tournament, as the rule is if the host team wins their league championship, the runner-up earns a trip as well. While neither team needs to win this series, bragging rights will be on the line, making this matchup quite intriguing.

Rouyn-Noranda Huskies

The team that finished with the most points in the entire CHL has made it to the finals as expected. The Huskies had some issues with Shawinigan in round one, but were able to get things back on track and swept Victoriaville in round two to meet with the talented Rimouski Oceanic.
