Saskatoon Blades News Release


Saskatoon, Sask. - The Western Hockey League has unveiled the full schedule for the 2019-2020 regular season.

This also means teams from the B.C. Division will be visiting Saskatoon this season beginning with the Vancouver Giants on October 9th, the Kelowna Rockets on December 7th, the Kamloops Blazers on December 13th, Prince George on January 11th, and the Victoria Royals on January 28th.

Saskatoon will play on two holidays during the season; on the road in Calgary on Thanksgiving Monday on October 14th and at home to the Winnipeg ICE on Wednesday, January 1st at 2:00pm.
