The High River Flyers and Strathmore Wheatland Kings kick off the Heritage League Playoffs Friday, February 16, in High River.

Flyers Coach Tyson Avery says they can't hold anything back.

"We've got to work hard every shift. It's playoff time. You have to start sacrificing your body, making plays you wouldn't make and come out of your comfort zone to make good plays to make sure your team gets ahead in the game right? It's all about teamwork and not being selfish."

It's a best of three series with game two Saturday, February 17, in Strathmore and game three, if needed, back in High River at 4 o'clock, Sunday, February, 18.
