The U of S women’s and men’s hockey programs have a couple of new opponents to contend with as the Canada West Conference released the 2021-22 schedules Wednesday morning.
The MacEwan Griffins out of Edmonton and the Langley, B-C,-based Trinity Western Spartans have teams in both gender divisions, increasing the league to nine teams in both instances. Both schedules will begin October 15 as the teams play a reduced 20-game slate for this season. Both Saskatchewan teams have an opening weekend bye before each plays a home-and-home against Regina on October 22 and 23. Following are the complete schedules for both gender divisions, as well as the news release from Canada West…..
HKY: Puck drop for 2021-22 season set for October 15
Four new programs see first CW action on opening weekend
The 2021-22 season will see the addition of the MacEwan Griffins and the Trinity Western Spartans in both men’s and women’s hockey. Both institutions were slated to join CW hockey in 2020-21 before the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. All four new programs will take to the ice on opening weekend with MacEwan playing the Regina Cougars and Trinity Western matching up against the UBC Thunderbirds.
The women’s schedule opens with a rematch of the 2019-20 Canada West Final as the defending champion Alberta Pandas host the Mount Royal Cougars. The reigning champions on the men’s side, the Saskatchewan Huskies, will have to wait until the second week of the season to hit the ice when they will take on Regina in a home-and-home series.
As announced by the Canada West on May 5, an alternative format will be used for the 2021 season. Teams will play a reduced 20-game regular season schedule. The women’s schedule features two conference-wide bye weekends which will allow for the rescheduling of games if needed, while the men’s schedule has one bye week worked into the schedule.
There are no changes coming to the conference playoffs, which will once again feature the top six teams playing best-of-three series throughout the playoffs with a first round bye for the first and second seeds.
Playoffs for the men get underway February 18-20 with the women’s playoffs opening up a week later February 25-27.
The men’s final is set for March 4-6, two weeks before the U SPORTS national championship hosted by Acadia. The women’s final is slated for March 11-13, two weeks prior to the U SPORTS national championship hosted by UPEI.
