The competition shifts to the OHL for the middle leg of the series with Game 3 to be hosted by the Oshawa Generals on Thursday November 21, followed by Game 4 hosted by the Sudbury Wolves on Monday November 25. The final two games of the series move west to Alberta where the WHL's Red Deer Rebels will host Game 5 on Wednesday November 27, with the series concluding on Thursday November 28 with Game 6 hosted by the Lethbridge Hurricanes.
The SUBWAY® Super Series has been an integral part of the identification process for Team Canada for the past 10 years prior to the IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship. Last season, Team Russia captured their second SUBWAY® Super Series title since 2010 and later edged Canada 6-5 in overtime of the Bronze Medal Game of the 2013 World Junior Championship played in Ufa, Russia, with a roster that included five CHL players and an additional 17 players from this series. Last year's Canadian National Junior Team featured 22 players from the 2013 SUBWAY® Super Series along with Rebels' grad Ryan Nugent-Hopkins who participated in the event in 2010.
All six games of the SUBWAY ® Super Series will be broadcast nationally on Sportsnet with TVA Sports televising both games from the QMJHL.
The 2013 SUBWAY® Super Series is supported by CHL associate sponsors Bank of Montreal and Old Dutch.
