The Vikings now face the two-time defending NAIT Ooks in the ACAC semifinal while the SAIT Trojans play the MacEwan Griffins in the other semifinal. The semifinal is a rematch of last year's championship series which the Ooks eked out with a pair of one-goal victories. The two teams split their season series with a pair of wins each, however, the Ooks finished with the better overall record and will have home ice advantage for the series. The semifinal starts on Friday in Edmonton and will revert back to Camrose on Saturday. If a third and final game is needed it will be back in Edmonton on Sunday.
