Due to the EHL's "125-mile rule," all first round games between the two clubs will be played at the Cyclones Arena up in Hudson, New Hampshire. The Revolution, however, will be considered the home team for the second game of the series, which is scheduled for tomorrow at noon.
"Having to travel is a disadvantage," said EHL Revolution Head Coach James Laux, "but having that home-ice advantage in game two will gives us the last line change we need that could be a deciding factor in this series."
The Revolution and Cyclones have met twice in the regular season, with both games going in favor of the Cyclones by a combined 12-2 score.
"We have focused on slowing them down through the neutral zone and handling them off the rush," said Coach Laux. "They are an offensively talented team that likes to create offense off the rush. We will also need to rely on our goaltending to keep us in games and give us an opportunity to win."
If the best-of-three series goes to a deciding game three, then the Revolution and Cyclones will play on Monday March 3rd at 1:00 PM.
"Expect us to be a hard-working team that is difficult to play against," said Coach Laux. "I want to see everyone on the Revolution step up and play the kind of hockey I now they are capable of playing."
