It's not often teams get the chance to rest during hockey playoffs, so the Okotoks Bisons are taking advantage.

They've been off for a week since winning their second round Heritage Junior "B" Hockey League series over the Cochrane Generals.

Bisons GM Brent Trevors says rest is key.

"At the end of the day these guys have played over 40 games this year. I think if you enough up-tempo practices and you keep guys sharp. I think the rest is good."

The Bisons face either the High River Flyers or Coaldale Copperheads in the Heritage League South Division finals.
