It’s debatable as to how much playoff experience is a factor in the WHL playoffs. Over the years we have seen teams who have gone 1 or 2 rounds in the previous playoffs and then are prepared for a long playoff run. We have also see teams who go from not winning a series to the next year where they go on to win the Championship.
