Former Sea Dog Alex Drover had his season come to an end on Friday when the Rimouski Oceanic were eliminated by the Remparts in four games. Drover had three goals in nine playoff games.

In the Ontario Hockey League semifinals, the Hamilton Bulldogs lead the North Bay Battalion 1-0 following a 5-2 win on Friday. The other series will see the Windsor Spitfires take on the Flint Firebirds.
