The Chilliwack Chiefs have taken a 3–1 series lead in Round 1 of the 2026 Rogers BCHL Playoffs and now have a chance to punch their ticket to the next round this Friday on home ice.

It’s been a tightly contested series so far, with three games decided by just one goal. The Coquitlam Express opened the series with a 5–4 overtime win in Chilliwack in Game 1.

Game 2 on Saturday turned into a history-making matchup, as the Chiefs battled to a 4–3 victory in a marathon game that stretched to four overtimes. The game-winning goal was scored at 1:06 AM, capping off a night to remember.

The series then shifted to Coquitlam, where the Chiefs have historically struggled, but they flipped the script this time. Chilliwack earned back-to-back regulation wins, taking Game 3 by a score of 3–2 on Monday and Game 4 with a 5–2 win on Wednesday to seize control of the series.

Now, the Chiefs return to the Chilliwack Coliseum on Friday, April 10 at 7 PM, with a chance to close out the series in front of their home crowd.

Tickets are available online, at the Chiefs office (9 AM–4 PM), or at the box office, presented by Elements Casino, which opens at 6 PM on game day.

Chilliwack, it’s time to be loud. Be proud. Be there.
