The BC Ford Dealers Road to the Fred Page Cup BCHL Playoffs are less than four weeks away and the league is announcing its complete postseason schedule.

The top-four teams from each division will make the playoffs for a total of 12 playoff teams. Each team will be seeded with No. 1 playing No. 4 and No. 2 versus No. 3 in each division in Round 1.

Round 1 starts on Friday, March 4 and must be completed by Sunday, March 13. It is a best-of-seven series.

Round 2 starts on Friday, March 18 and must be completed by Sunday, March 27. It is also a best-of-seven. The conclusion of Round 2 leaves just three teams, the respective division champions.

Round 3 will see the three division champions compete in a double-round-robin format. The teams will be seeded 1, 2 and 3 based on their regular-season points total. Each team will play two home games and two road games with a minimum of six games scheduled.
