Vancouver Giants will meet Spokane Chiefs in round one of the 2025 Western Hockey League Playoffs, presented by Nutrien.
The series was solidified after the Tri-City Americans lost to Spokane on Saturday, with Vancouver having clinched sixth place in the Western Conference. Spokane is in third place.
Giants will play games one and two of the best-of-seven opening round series at home in the 91Ô´´ Events Centre on Friday, March 28 (7 p.m.) and Sunday, March 30 (4 p.m.), because the Spokane Arena will be hosting the Sweet 16 and Elite 8 rounds of the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament on those days.
Spokane is scheduled to host the next three games April 2, 3 and 5.
It will be the fifth time the Giants and Chiefs have met in the playoffs, but the first since 2019, when Vancouver defeated Spokane in five games in the Western Conference Final. The Giants are 2-2 lifetime in playoff series against the Chiefs.
In addition to beating Spokane in 2019, the Giants also beat them in seven games in the second round in 2009. The Chiefs’ two series wins against the Giants came in 2012 in the first round (six games) and in 2008 in the second round (also in six games).
Giants playoff tickets for the first round are set to go on sale to the general public on Monday, March 24 at 10 a.m.
They can be purchased on Monday by visiting or by calling the Giants box office at 604-4-GIANTS (604-444-2687).
