March 20, 2019 - Down to a Best of Three
As many expected, this years final series between Morden and Warren has become a best of three series as the home team has won each of the first four games. Team discipline has played a factor as well with the Mercs scoring three powerplay goals in their 10 chances while Morden has netted two in their 10 opportunities.
Game five goes Thursday night in Warren and than back to Morden Sunday night for game six.

March 11, 2019 - SEMHL Preview - Warren vs Morden
It all starts Tuesday night in Warren at 8 p.m. Head-to-head this season, Warren won two of the three games with one of those a shootout victory on November 8th. Morden's 10 goals in those games was only one less than the Mercs. The turning point in this series could come down to special teams as five of Morden's goals were on the power play versus two for Warren.
In net, with their regular starter Dola injured (24 of 26 total games played plus a 1.18 playoff goals against average) Warren will be counting on Spittal to step up and carry the load. Morden looks to continue with Peters manning the crease. His 617 minutes played leads all playoff goaltenders.
March 7, 2019 - SEMHL Finalists Set
It`s down to two teams as the Warren Mercs and Morden Redskins will battle it out for SEMHL 2018-19 supremacy. Warren will be looking for their second league championship while Morden are looking to add to their 15 prior championships.

Accepting the award for the SEMHL's best goaltender is Carman's Steve Christie. |
Feb. 22, 2019 - Semi-Final Preview - Carman vs Morden
The Beavers should be well rested following their first round bye. Carman hasn't played since a February 6th loss to Notre Dame. They will need to shake off the rust quickly as they face a Morden squad who are in full playoff mode after dispatching Altona in the quarterfinals.
With the leagues top four regular season scorers involved in this series (Carman-Owen and Dudar with 49 pts each, Morden-Rey 59 pts and Grove 44 pts), home ice and last line change/matchups should play a significant role and could prove to be the difference maker.
Not to be forgotten is the goaltending as both teams possess puck stoppers that can turn a game in their teams favour. Christie is coming off a league leading 13 win season for the Beavers while Morden's duo of Peters and Wall (what better name for a goaltender?) combined for 12 wins.
Feb. 21, 2019 - Semi-Final Preview - Warren vs Portage
What more could be asked for in a playoff matchup? Warren and Portage both finished with identical 13-6-0-1 records with virtually the same home and away records. With the Mercs taking the five game season series three games to two, they not only placed second in the league but also gain the all important home ice advantage. Powerplays were effective for both teams as Warren went 6 for 18 (33%) and Portage was 5 for 16 (31%).
A hot goaltender may make the difference with these formidable lineups. Dola will look to continue his winning ways in the Warren net where he went 3-1 in the regular season against Portage. Sviestrup won two of his three starts against the Mercs during the regular season.
Feb. 18, 2019 - Best Defenceman
Congratulations to Dane Crowley of the Altona Maroons on being named the SEMHL's best defenceman.
Feb. 16, 2019 - League MVP and Scoring Champion

Feb. 11, 2019 - Morden vs Altona Playoff Preview
When looking at the total goals scored between Morden and Altona in their four game regular season series (Morden 31 vs Altona 12) few would believe it was a series split. The Redskins opened the series with blowout wins but the Maroons would take the final two games with one goal margins. Both teams had their success on the powerplay as Morden went 7 for 12 while Altona went 4 for 15. Team discipline could wind up being the difference.
In between the pipes, there were four separate victors in the regular season matchups as Morden's Peters and Wall and Altona's Janzen and Martel all chalked up wins.
Feb. 7, 2019 - Portage vs Notre Dame Playoff Preview
The third place Islanders versus the sixth place Hawks could turn into a closer series than the final standings would indicate. Portage won two of the three games between the teams during the regular season with only a four goal differential (12-8). Three of those Islander goals were on the power play (3 for 9) while the Hawks were shutout of special team goals (0 for 11). A successful powerplay could be the difference maker in this series.
Sviestrup looks to continue his winning ways against Notre Dame, being the goalie of record in the two regular season Portage wins between the two teams. Timmerman will need to hold off the high scoring, and balanced, Portage attack for the Hawks to move on.
Feb. 7, 2019 - Warren vs Winkler Playoff Preview
In the battle of the W's, the second place Mercs take on the last place Royals in the first round. Warren had little trouble with Winkler during the regular season taking all three games with a combined score of 24-9. Special teams didn't make a big difference in the season series with the Mercs scoring four with the man advantage plus one short handed goal versus a single goal on the power play by the Royals.
In net, Warren be counting on Dola to carry them through the post-season while Winkler will look to Wiebe to hold the fort.
