The Watrous Winterhawks are headed to the playoffs on a winning note.

Watrous doubled up Drake 6-3 on the road to wrap up their regular season schedule in the Long Lake Hockey League.

The defending champions came out flying to start the season before suffering some losses midway through the year.

Watrous finished up the season winning four of their last five games to remain with a chance to claim first place overall.

The final game of the regular season goes Saturday in Wynyard as the Monarchs host Drake.

If the Canucks win, they will finish first overall. A Wynyard win will give Watrous the designation of top seed.

As the league playoffs near, so too does provincial playoffs.

Watrous will take on Waldheim in the first round of provincials. No schedule has been announced yet.
