In the SMJHL, it is looking like the battle of supremecy between the East's Quebec City Citadelles and the West's Kelowna Knights.

Quebec has not let up the the front pedal since last season. Eager to right the wrongs from S57, QCC are looking to translate their Regular Season dominance into a Four Star Cup. With 11 points separating them from their nearest opponents in Newfoundland, there is no denying that they will get a bye, but the question will be if they can make the playoff run to the Four Star Cup.

Kelowna is even more assured of their position in the West. Taking heavy advantage of Anchorage's and Colorado'slack of form, the Knights are cruising into their bye spot. But they know that when playoff comes around, the Armada and Raptors will be serious threats in the more lethal West. Time will tell if the Knights will hold off the challenge presented to them.
