Regina Thunder @ Edmonton Huskies – Clarke Park, Edmonton – 1:00pm | WATCH HERE

It’s just the third time these two teams have met in the CJFL Canadian Bowl Championship Series.   In 2013 the Thunder won 26-17 and back in 2003 the Huskies won 30-21.  That said, they will be rather familiar with each other meeting just three weeks ago at Clarke Park where the Huskies threw for 444 yards and won 62-30.  Both teams enter the playoffs on a loss, which they will quickly need to forget once the ball is kicked off in Edmonton.
