The James Gang finished the Ontario Series Lacrosse regular season in fifth place with a 3-9 record and will now face the fourth-seeded Bengals in the opening round of the playoffs.

The two teams split their regular season meetings. Hamilton, who finished the season with a 6-6 record, earned a 10-1 victory on home floor on May 9 before the James Gang responded with a 9-7 win in Ennismore on June 7.

The series opens Saturday, July 18 at 7 pm at Dave Andreychuk Arena in Hamilton.

Game 2 shifts to the Lakefield-Smith Community Centre on Sunday, July 19 at 4 pm, where the James Gang will look to use home-floor advantage to keep their playoff hopes alive.

If necessary, Game 3 will be played Tuesday, July 21 at 8 pm back at Dave Andreychuk Arena.

Fans unable to attend the games can follow the series through the team's social media channels, where game updates, highlights and behind-the-scenes content will be shared throughout the series. Live scoring will also be available through the Ontario Series Lacrosse website.
