Huron-Perth over Kitchener 4-2 (Sept. 20)
Kitchener over Huron-Perth 6-0 (Nov. 18)
Kitchener over Huron-Perth 7-1 (Dec. 2)

The struggle for home ice advantage in the first round came down to the final day as Kitchener edged out Huron-Perth by just two points in the standings to grab that extra home game in the series.

Kitchener has been on a roll for the past month or two, rocketing up the standings when they were sitting in the bottom third at one point this season.
