Yes, Oshawa is in the final. Kelowna is virtually guaranteed an automatic spot in the semifinal.
The last game of the round robin is tonight between Quebec and Rimouski. If Quebec wins, they'll play Kelowna in the semifinal and Rimouski will go home winless.
If Rimouski wins, there will be a 3-way tie between Kelowna, Quebec, and Rimouski (each at 1-2, which has never happened before). In that case, the first tiebreaker is each team's percentage of goals from all the goals scored in their two games against the other tied teams.
Kelowna lost to Quebec 4-3 and beat Rimouski 7-3, so they scored 10 goals of 17 total goals scored in the two games (58.8%). In order to finish ahead of Kelowna in the 3-way tiebreaker, Rimouski has to win at least 8-0 tonight. If Rimouski wins tonight by less than an 8-0 score, Kelowna will go straight to the semifinal while Rimouski and Quebec will play in the tiebreaker tomorrow.
Last year, Guelph went 3-0 in the round robin and lost in the final to Edmonton, who went 1-2 in the round robin. Anything can still happen.
