The Okotoks Oilers and Brooks Bandits open their AJHL South Division final series Friday, March 30, in Okotoks.

Oilers Coach Tyler Deis says stopping the Bandits from gaining the offensive zone is job one.

"We've just got to make sure that we slow them down in the offensive zone. They're really good off the rush. We've just got to make sure we manage the rush well, especially in the neutral zone and our zone."

They'll play game one and two in the best of seven series Friday and Saturday, March 31, starting at 7 o'clock both nights at the Pason Centennial Arena.
