After a dramatic final night of round-robin play, the postseason picture is officially locked in—and it took every game, plus multiple tie-breakers, to get there. Entering the final slate, seven teams still had a path to the semifinals, underscoring just how tight this season has been from top to bottom.
When the dust settled, two teams emerged from each division to move on.
North Nevada Division: HollowBrook, Velodrome advance
HollowBrook Dental delivered a flawless round-robin performance, going a perfect 4–0 to secure the top spot in the division. Their consistency on both ends of the ice made them the only undefeated team in the field.
COS Velodrome followed closely behind, finishing 3–0–1 to lock in second place and punch their ticket to the semifinals.
Rockrimmon Division: Ace edges tight three-way tie
The Rockrimmon Division proved even tighter, with Ace, Platinum Group, and World Orphans all finishing with identical 2–1–1 records.
Ace claimed the division title thanks to head-to-head tiebreakers over both Platinum and World Orphans.
Platinum secured the second qualifying spot by narrowly edging World Orphans in goal differential (+3 to +1), ending the Orphans’ playoff run despite a strong showing.
