Central Hockey League Conference #2 VS. #3 Semifinals Series Schedules

As the Central Hockey League Play In Rounds are going on as the winners will take on the Odessa Jackalopes and the Rapid City Rush.

The other 2 series are now set and we will show you the schedules for the 2nd and 3rd seeded teams in both the Northern Conference as League Powerhouse Colorado Eagles will take on the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs. Colorado has been the team to beat in the regular season in recent years as the Eagles have lost in the Championship Series big time by the Arizona Sundogs in 2008 and the Texas Brahmas last year.

If the Eagles get back to the Presidents Cup Final for the 3rd straight year, the Eagles will look to put the disappointment of the last 2 years behind them as the team has the experience like Ed Mcgrane and Kevin Ulanski who tons of big game experience.

Bossier-Shreveport haven't been past the Conference Semifinals since 2007 as the Mudbugs have been sweeped out of the playoffs the last 2 seasons as they were shocked by the Brahmas in 2008 after finishing with the top seed in the regular season.

Then last year, the Mudbugs lost in a 4 game sweep of Colorado where they lost all 4 games by a single goal, including 2 games in OT in last year's Northern Conference SF. Bossier-Shreveport will look for revenge as the Mudbugs and Eagles will face off in the postseason for the 2nd straight year.

Meanwhile in the South, its the league's biggest surprise this season as the Americans had one of the best seasons by a first year team in league history after winning an impressive 42 games this season, and will be looking to perhaps be the biggest challenger to the Odessa Jackalopes in the Southern Conference Playoffs. The Americans will be taking on the Laredo Bucks who's looking to get back to the Conference Finals after losing to Odessa in the Conference Semifinals last year.

Laredo is looking to continue its great end of the regular season as the Bucks were able to pull away from the Brahmas for the 3rd spot. If the Bucks win their 1st Round Series against Allen, Odessa could be interesting as the last 3 head-to-head games went to a SO.

Here's a look at the top players and Schedules for the Conference Semifinals. Look for the #1 VS. #4/#5 Series after the Play In Round finish up.
