@MedicineHatNews The Brooks Bandits were tied in their British Columbia Hockey League title series after a weekend split of homes games against the Chilliwack Chiefs. Game 3 was set for Tuesday as the series shifted to Chilliwack. The series will return to southern Alberta for Game 5 on Friday night at Centennial Regional Arena. That game was not complete by press time. Former Medicine Hat Tiger Zach Zahara earned a 5-3 Game 1 win in net for the Bandits on May 16. Chilliwack tied the series with a 4-3 road win on May 17. If needed, Game 6 would be held Sunday at Chilliwack, and Game 7 on Tuesday May 27 in Brooks. Competing in the non-aligned BCHL, Brooks defeated West Kelowna, Sherwood Park and then Penticton in the earlier playoff rounds. 7
