It's do or die for the High River Flyers Friday night in the Heritage Junior "B" Hockey League Playoffs.

They trail the Coaldale Copperheads one game to none in their best of three first round "elimination series" after losing 5-1 in Coaldale Wednesday night.

Game time is 8:15 at the Rec-Plex in High River.

If they need a third and deciding game, that'll go Saturday night back at the "Snake Pit" in Coaldale.

The Strathmore Wheatland Kings will look to eliminate the Banff Academy Bears Friday night as well as they lead that best of three series one to game to none.

The winners of these series will square off against the Okotoks Bisons and Cochrane Generals in the South Division semi-finals starting next week.
