"We start it off with the CHL's top-ranked team coming into our barn tomorrow which gives our guys a good test for where we're at. Sudbury and Oshawa are two teams we've seen a lot of recently from preseason and even last year. They're two teams that the games always turn into a battle against and our players always seem excited about to play." Commented Assistant Coach, Dennis Martindale.
