The schedule is officially out for the West Conference Finals between the Milton Menace and the Leamington Flyers.
After sweeping the Burlington Cougars in the opening round of the OJHL Playoffs, the Menace took on a team that’s caused a few headaches for Milton players over the last few years: the Collingwood Blues. That series didn’t last too long either, as Milton pulled out a series win in just five games, advancing to take on the undefeated Flyers.
In four games in the 2024-2025 regular season, the Menace went 2-1-1-0 against the Flyers, splitting the goal differential at 9-9. The teams last played in the second last game of the season, which served as a make-up game for one that was postponed earlier in the year due to poor weather conditions. Both teams sat key players, with the game ending in a 1-0 overtime loss for Milton.
