The Okotoks Oilers fell to the Whitecourt Wolverines Friday night 5-2.
The loss puts the Oilers 8 points behind the second place Camrose Kodiaks.
Oilers player Jordan Davies says the Wolverines are a tough team to play.
"We were right there with them, they are a top team in the league, but we stayed with them all game just couldn't get the results that we wanted," Davies says.
Davies says he believes the Oilers will have a good play off run they just have to deal with a couple of hiccups.
"We are a young team and that means we have to show maturity which is something I think we are lacking."
The Oilers take on the Calgary Canucks Saturday night at Pason Centennial Arena.
The puck drops at 7 p.m.
