2018 Saskatchewan Senior Playoffs

The Saskatchewan Hockey Association holds provincal playoffs seperate of the league playoffs. There are four class champions   A (Henderson Cup), B (Yorkton Terrier Trophy), C (Jack Abbott Memorial Trophy), and D (J.W. Hamilton Trophy). Classification is based on community population).

Draws for each level are usually done the first week or so of January.

Senior AAA
Unlike Senior A, B, C, and D; the Senior AAA level is not based on town population but is made up of teams eligible to complete for the national championship for senior men's hockey. They also have playoffs when there is more than one team playing at that level. Traditionally, the provincial champion plays the Manitoba Senior AAA champion for the Rathgaber Cup and a spot in that year's Allan Cup tournament but this year's tournament is being held in Rosetown, Saskatchewan and the Rathgaber Cup won't be played. The Rosetown Red Wings are hosting the event (qualifying automatically) and the first year at the Senior AAA level Bethune Bulldogs already having qualified for the Allan Cup taking the spot that would be used by a Quebec representative. Despite not being needed for Allan Cup qualifying the two teams played a series for the provincial championship to give the two teams some additional games.
