It's playoff time for the Brockville Braves as they are set to begin their best-of-seven, first round CCHL series against the Smiths-Falls Bears.

Braves' forward Max Hansen says they know what to expect from the Bears in their home rink.

Due to ongoing renovations to the roof of the Brockville Memorial Centre, the Braves are forced to play their home playoff games at the Centennial Youth Arena.

Hansen says it's been an interesting week getting used to the smaller ice surface.

The second place Bears defeated the seventh place Braves in all five regular-season meetings, including their last two on March 8 and 13 where the Braves were outscored by a combined 15-4.

Game one goes tonight in Smiths-Falls with game two on Sunday in Brockville. Both start at 7:30 p.m.
