Playoff hockey, rugby, and baseball highlight Nanaimo weekend sports calendar
NANAIMO — Buccaneers playoff hockey, the final home game for the Hornets rugby team, and preseason Pirates baseball are on the local sports calendar this weekend.
The Buccaneers are up 3-2 in their VIJHL semi final series with the Saanich Braves.
In Game 5 on Thursday the Bucs took control early and skated away with a 7-3 win.
Nanaimo is in Saanich on Friday for Game 6.
The home team has won every game in the series so far and the Buccaneers are hoping to reverse that trend and wrap up the best of seven series at the George Pearkes Arena.
If Game 7 is needed it would be played at the Nanaimo Ice Centre Sunday at 7:30 p.m.
