Both sides will then participate in intra-squad games each day at 2:30 p.m. at the MTS Centre.

This season, the Moose will play a pair of exhibition games, as well as a "prospects" game prior to the regular season. The Moose will take on the Toronto Marlies in a pair of exhibition games, beginning with a meeting at the Fort Frances Memorial Sports Centre in Fort Frances, ON Friday, September 28th at 7:00 p.m. CT.
