They still have four more games before they can tick that off, but in the meantime they have secured another major honour - joint winners of the Brave's most valuable player award.

The Brave will finish their season on the road when they face the Melbourne Ice in a double-header at The Icehouse in Melbourne this weekend.

Then comes a chance for the Brave to turn around years of heartbreak, with Canberra already locking in a top four berth ahead of the semi-finals at the same venue in Melbourne the week after.

The Brave will face the fourth-ranked side in the league in a sudden death showdown on September 1, with the winner advancing to the grand final with the Goodall Cup on the line on September 2.
