BROOKS, AB — A surprise upset in the AJHL opening round has the Brooks Bandits eyeing up the Olds Grizzlys in the South Division semifinals.

The Grizzlys, who finished the regular season with only 17 wins, shocked the AJHL last weekend, sweeping the Canmore Eagles in three games. The Eagles were ranked second in the league, and the Grizzlys won each game by a single goal.

The Bandits received a bye in the opening round after winning their second-straight division title. The Bandits finished the regular season with a 51-5-4 record.

Through the regular season, the Bandits defeated the Grizzlys in all six meetings.
