With the final day of the regular Ontario Hockey League season one meaningless game from being completed, the playoff matchups have been ironed out. The league offices would have had a tough time picking better matchups for travel had they created a committee to determine them, at least in the eastern conference. Belleville earned the top seed and will play the eighth ranked Peterborough Petes; number two Brampton Battalion travel north to face the seventh ranked Barrie Colts; third placed Oshawa Generals host the sixth place Ottawa '67's (perhaps the only team in the conference they have a good chance of beating); and the fourth ranked Niagara IceDogs face the St Michael's Majors, the team that replaced them in Mississauga.
The travel plans in the western conference are a bit uglier but then again, travel in the regular season isn't so easy either. The top seeded Kitchener Rangers goes up against the eighth seed and 2007 OHL Champion Plymouth Whalers; the second seed Sault Ste Marie Greyhounds face the seventh place Saginaw Spirit; Windsor claims third spot and plays the sixth place Sarnia Sting; and the fourth place Knights of London meet up with a storm in the fifth place Guelph Storm.
