Fourteen teams will dip their toes in the regular-season water Friday night before all 22 teams dive into the W-H-L’s 54th campaign Saturday night.
The Saskatoon Blades travel to Prince Albert Friday evening. The Raiders will be celebrating their Ed Chynoweth Cup championship before opening puck drop with a banner-raising ceremony. The Bridge City Bunch will try to do something Friday they didn’t do last season at all…regular campaign or playoffs…and that is win at the Art Hauser Centre.
With the ICE franchise moving from Kootenay to Winnipeg and into the East Division, forcing Swift Current into the Central, the Blue and Gold will play P-A 10 times this season…instead of eight as in past years.
Friday night’s game will be aired on 98-COOL, beginning at 6 with the Sardinia Family Restaurant pre-game show and the play-by-play at 7. The same teams meet Saturday night at 7 at SaskTel Centre.
