The excitement of the MJHL final between Dauphin and NorMan has even spilled over to off the ice.
Dauphin Mayor Dave Bosiak says he has agreed to a side bet on the series with Andre Murray, the mayor of The Pas.
"The winner gets to have a donation by the other mayor to a charity of their choice. And the loser will have to wear the jersey (of the other team) at a council meeting coming up. So I gladly accepted his challenge."
Even the respective fire chiefs from the communities are getting into the act.
Dauphin Fire Chief Cam Abrey and Byron Shangraw from The Pas have worked out their own bet, which will see the losing fire chief have to wear the opposing team's jersey for a full day on the job.
That chief will also have to make a $100 donation in the winner's name to the Manitoba Fallen Firefighters Foundation.
Abrey is confident that the Kings can keep him out of a Blizzard jersey for a day, adding it would be really exciting to see Credit Union Place packed with fans for the Kings on Friday night.
