The Alvinston Killer Bees are seeded in the middle of the pack for the eight-team Outlaw Championship Tournament beginning later this month in Eastern Ontario.
The Bees are ranked fourth and will take on the fifth-seeded Deseronto Bulldogs in the first game for each team on Saturday, April 25 at 5 p.m.
Alvinston will also play against an unknown opponent on Sunday, April 26 at 11 a.m. as part of the first-ever year-end tournament involving Northern Premier Hockey League teams in Smiths Falls, near Ottawa.
The playoffs begin on Monday, April 27 and conclude with a championship game on Saturday, May 2 at 3 p.m.
Alvinston advanced to the inaugural event by recently capturing the Apex Cup as Metro Conference champions with a four-game series victory over Six Nations.
The Bulldogs roster includes Ryan Verbeek who played with both the Lambton Jr. Sting and Sarnia Legionnaires before his OHL career took him to Windsor and Kingston.
Verbeek has family connections to Plympton-Wyoming
