The Quebec City Citadelles struggled at the beginning of the season, but they seemed to have found a combination of players that works and have slowly been climbing in the standings recently. Look for them to build on this success in the playoffs and go in fighting.

The Chicago Syndicate have been nearly unstoppable for most of the season, and it seems like nothing will be able to slow them down. Don't expect this to change in the playoffs, as that's a team that's hungry to win.
