For the SCAHL Pee Wee AA and Bantam AA teams, the drive for the play offs enters the final 4 weeks of regular season play.  For Midget AA there are 5 weeks to go.

In each Division, North and South Conferences see 6 teams qualify for play off participation.  Teams finishing in 1st and 2nd place receive a bye in round 1, with team #3 hosting team #6, and team #4 hosting team #5.  The first round, and all subsequent rounds of play offs are best of 3 series', excepting the League Championship series which is a best of 5 game series.

Winners of round 1 will then move to round 2 versus the conferences 1st and 2nd place teams, and the play offs continue until there is a North Conference and a South Conference champion, and these teams then will face off in the League Championship.

The SCAHL All Stars took to the ice Sunday, January 15 in Red Deer.  Teams from the North and South Conferences of each of the Pee AA, Bantam AA and Midget AA Divisions faced off, showcasing some of the premier talent in these age groups in AA hockey.
