Playoff experience numbers
Total number of games of playoff experience on the roster of each of the remaining eight teams in the playoffs this year, and their average experience per player:


Total Avg




Calgary 513 22.30
Vancouver 473 18.92
Seattle 449 17.96
Kootenay 387 17.59
Swift Current 352 14.67
Lethbridge 328 14.26
Tri-City 283 12.30
Spokane 269 11.70

Doesn't look to me like experience is necessarily paying off in the second round.....the three least-experienced teams are leading their series against more playoff-experienced opponents.

Number of players on each team with at least 10 games of prior playoff experience BEFORE the start of this year's playoffs:

Calgary 13
Vancouver 13
Seattle 11
Kootenay 8
Swift Current 8
Tri-City 7
Lethbridge 5
Spokane 4

Players in the playoffs right now who have at least 40 games of experience:
