Feb 28, 2019 | 6:44 AM

After a thrilling 8-2 win in Game 5 of their 1st round series to clinch a spot in the next round of the playoffs, the Grande Peace Ernies Sports Midget AAA Storm will head to Fort Saskatchewan for round 2.

They will meet the Fort Saskatchewan Rangers in the North semi-final, with the best of five series beginning Thursday night.

This will be a match up between two evenly matched clubs in the 2nd round, as the two teams were separated by just two points at the end of the regular season.

However, it was Fort Saskatchewan who won both meetings during the regular season.

They earned a 5-2 win on October 28th in GP and followed it up with a 4-0 win at home on January 5th.

Puck drop for Thursday’s Game 1 is at 7:30 p.m. in Fort Saskatchewan.

The series will then return to Grande Prairie for Game 2 Saturday at the Coca-Cola Centre at 3:30 p.m.
