The Cardinals take on Okanagan this afternoon, and then square off against the Chiefs tonight at 7 p.m. Abbotsford concludes the round robin portion of the final four agains the Twins on Saturday at 4 p.m. Final games for the tournament occur on Sunday.
If the Cardinals can pull off the win, it would be the first time that both the Junior and Senior teams have won league championships.
