If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.
This weekend at Masich Place Stadium, the UNBC Timberwolves enter their weekend of the regular season with plenty still on the line. With two games remaining, Steve Simonson's club trails fourth-placed Trinity Western by one single point in the Pacific Division standings. Luckily for them, six points are still on the line as they prepare for two huge home battles against the unbeaten UBC Thunderbirds. The Trinity Western Spartans on the other hand have Saturday and Sunday road clashes with UBCO and TRU – both of whom are lower than them on the Pacific Division table.

The Matchups:
UBC at UNBC – Friday, October 17 – 6 pm
UBC at UNBC – Sunday, October 19 – 2 pm
 
UBC Thunderbirds:
 
Record: 13-0-1 (1^st in Pacific Division)

Rookie forward Theo Afework arrives to the final weekend leading all Canada West rookies in points (7). His four goals and three assists place him fourth in team scoring. One of Afework's best showings of the season came just last week on Thursday when he posted one goal and two assists in a 3-0 home victory against the Victoria Vikes.
 
UNBC Timberwolves
 
Record: 4-7-2 (5^th in Pacific Division)
Goals For: 22 (5^th in Canada West)
Goals Against: 27 (3^rd  most in Canada West)
Most Goals: Jamie Wildash-Chan (5)
Most Points: Jamie Wildash-Chan, Wyatt Lyon (6)

Player to Watch: Jamie Wildash-Chan
 
The first-year defender from Wellington, NZ will be plenty motivated this weekend as he'll go face-to-face with the only rookie in Canada West with more points than him. The Wildash-Chan/Afework showdown will be a great storyline to follow as a big weekend from either player would go a long way in possibly cementing an all-star nod, an all-rookie nod, or even a Rookie of the Year nod. Wildash-Chan has electrified Timberwolves fans all season with his speed, flash and creativity and they'll need him to bring plenty of the above this weekend against the division leaders.
