This marks the third time that the Salmon Kings and Steelheads will play preseason games, and the second time in McCall, Idaho. The first time the teams met was during the 2004-05 preseason when Idaho traveled to Chilliwack and Vancouver, B.C.

Last season Victoria played their two pre-season contests in Utah versus the Grizzlies.

These two teams meet again at 6:10 p.m. PT tomorrow in McCall.

The Salmon Kings kick off the regular season with a three game set in Phoenix beginning on October 17th at the US Airways Center. Victoria's home schedule begins on October 24th when the team welcomes the Stockton Thunder to the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre for a 7:05 p.m. game
