Happenings since last edition
*Kelowna was the first team to reach 50 wins on the season when they beat Tri City on February 26th
*Halifax Mooseheads were the first and only team in the QMJHL to clinch the division title so far. They did it with the help of winning their last nine games
*The Rimouski Oceanic have the longest current winning streak having not lost a game in their last 12 contests
*The playoff race in most of the country for those last few spots are tight and will likely come down to the last day of the season
Note: the last day of the regular season for the QMJHL will be March 15 while the WHL and OHL will finish up their season the next day
