After a very competitive regular season, the opportunity to represent Alberta at Nationals in 2022 is within anyone's reach. The 2021 Sunburst League playoffs kick off on Monday, August 23rd.

The semi-final series will be best of 3, with the winners of both matchups facing off in a best of 5 series for the championship. With more games being played per week in playoffs than in a typical regular season week, the team crowned as 2021 champions will surely have to rely on every single guy on their roster.
