The Huskies hockey and volleyball teams have already wrapped up their regular seasons, basketball is only one weekend away from playoffs and the wrestling and track teams are both gearing up for conference finals.

It’s been a good year for the Huskies’ indoor sports teams, with seven of eight of them qualifying for the postseason. Here is a look at how each team’s chances are shaping up as they head into conference and national playoffs in the coming weeks.

With only one week remaining in the regular season, the Huskies men’s basketball squad are in a three-way tie for first spot in the Canada West Prairie Division. But with just four teams eligible to make the post-season from the division, the Huskies are not yet guaranteed a spot.

It will come down to the final two games of the season at the PAC against the Alberta Golden Bears, one of the teams the Dogs are tied with in the standings.

This fight between two of the top teams in the division will be vital for both squads. If either team can sweep the weekend series, the winning team will guarantee themselves first place in the Prairie Division while the team on the losing end of a two-game sweep could fall far enough to miss the playoffs entirely.

The Huskies will play for their post-season lives Feb. 15 at 4 p.m. and Feb. 16 at 6 p.m. in the PAC.

The Huskies women’s basketball squad also has one more weekend of regular season action, but a weekend sweep of the Manitoba Bisons Feb. 8 and 9 has already ensured their spot in the playoffs.

The Huskies improved to 13-7 and currently own third spot in the Prairie Division. They will be in a dogfight to keep their spot, though. The fourth-place Alberta Pandas are in town Feb. 15 and 16 and will be looking to steal the Huskies’ position.

Alberta is two points back of the Huskies, meaning the Dogs need to win only one of the two games this weekend to hold on to third place. Two wins for the Dogs will not move the team up in the standings at all. The Huskies might be happy about that, though, because it means they are certain to play a crossover playoff game on the road against a team from the Pacific Division.

The squad boasts a 9-2 record when playing on another team’s court this season. Playing on the road might be exactly what they need to make it past the best-of-three opening round of playoffs Feb. 22-24.

In the final weekend of the regular season the Huskies women’s hockey team managed to pull up to fifth spot in the Canada West standings. The squad finished with a win-loss record of 11-12-5.

Those five overtime losses played a big part in the team’s final position. While the single point boosts they got from those games pushed the team into the playoffs, overtime losses don’t count in the postseason. The Huskies will have to find a way to win those close games if they want to move past the first round of playoffs.

The Dogs will travel to Edmonton to take on the fourth-place University of Alberta Pandas in a best-of-three quarter-final series Feb. 15-17. Alberta won three out of the four games the teams played against each other in the regular season.

After a terrific start to the season the Huskies men’s hockey team slipped in the standings following the Christmas break. The squad lost four of their first five games in January before finding their groove in the second half of the season.

Since then the Dogs have battled back up the standings and in their final weekend were able to clinch second spot in the conference thanks to a weekend sweep of the Lethbridge Pronghorns Feb. 8 and 9.

The Dogs finished with a 19-8-1 record and 39 points. Now they, along with the first-place Alberta Golden Bears, get a bye into the semifinal round Feb. 22-24.

While consistency has not been the team’s strong point this year, if they can continue their recent surge of offence — which includes 11 goals in the past three games — the squad should be able to win their semifinal round and likely face the 23-4-1 Golden Bears in the conference final.

The Huskies men’s and women’s wrestling teams will be travelling to Edmonton Feb. 15 and 16 to compete in the Canada West Championship.

The teams will likely rally around the performance of women’s team captain and fifth-year Natasha Kramle. She finished a non-conference tournament in Winnipeg Feb. 2 with a gold medal and the most outstanding female athlete award. Kramble was on the podium at both the conference and national tournaments last year and is expected to fight for top spot in her 48-kilogram weight class this year.

Men’s captain Ryan Myrfield is also in his last year. The Dogs hope he can repeat his history of dominance at nationals. Myrfield has competed in both the conference and national tournaments in three of the past four years and has won gold medals in his weight class every time.

As a team, the men’s squad goes into the conference finals ranked seventh in the nation while the women’s side is ranked sixth in Canada.

Athletes who make it past the Canada West Championship will move on to the CIS Championships in London, Ont. Mar. 1 and 2.

The Huskies men’s and women’s track and field teams have been training since September and are ready for the Canada West Championship tournament in Regina Feb. 22 and 23.

The Dogs will already be familiar with the track since they competed in Regina at the non-conference Queen City Indoor Games Feb. 8 and 9 and picked up a combined 33 medals at the meet.

On the women’s side, watch for the sprinters and pole vaulters to crack the podium at conference championships. Astrid Nyame, Lauren Taylor and Ashley Promhouse will all be threats to win the women’s hurdles and 100-metre races. Meanwhile Courtney Erickson and Mignon Le Roux both vaulted 3.52 metres last meet and are hopeful for their chances at the championship meet.

For the men, 1000-metre runner Tye Buettner has had a strong season. He finished third in his event at the Bison Classic in Manitoba on Feb. 1 and 2 and topped the podium earlier this month at the Queen City Games. Nolan Machiskinic competes in shot put and will be a medal contender, as will pole vaulter Lane Britnell.

Heading into the conference meet the Huskies women’s track and field team is ranked seventh on the CIS national polls. The men are not ranked.

The Dogs men’s volleyball team captured their first playoff berth since 2004-05 and they are gearing up to make a big playoff push.

The squad’s offensive side has been led all season by fourth-year left-side hitter Bryan Fraser. He averages nearly 3.5 kills per set, and almost every ball he smashes onto the other team’s side of the net comes from the team’s astute veteran setter Chris Gilbert. Gilbert averages more than 10 assists per game and leads the conference in the category.

The Huskies finished 15-7 on the season and in third spot in the standings. They will host the Brandon Bobcats in the opening round of playoffs. The Dogs defeated Brandon in both of the two regular season matches they played against each other and, with a 9-2 record when playing in the PAC, the Dogs like their chances of beating the Bobcats. The teams will play Feb. 15 and 16 at 8 p.m. and, if necessary, Feb. 17 at 7 p.m. in the PAC.

If the Huskies beat Brandon, they will move on to the conference Final Four tournament in Edmonton Feb. 22 and 23.
