Toronto, ON - The Ontario Hockey League and Shaw Cable today announced that Shaw Cable will be broadcasting 30 live OHL games featuring the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds. The action begins on Shaw TV Channel 10 on Friday November 14 when the Greyhounds host the OHL's top team the Windsor Spitfires with the puck slated to drop at 7:30 pm.
The broadcast schedule consists of 16 home games and 14 road games scheduled over the next five months including the final two games of the regular season schedule to be played March 13 and 14 in Sault Ste.

"We are pleased that the amount of coverage has shown significant growth after just one season and look forward to continuing this partnership in the future."
The schedule features 11 games between the Greyhounds and West Division rivals including all six games against the Windsor Spitfires. 11 of the other games are against Western Conference opponents with eight games against teams from the Eastern Conference.
