The Winterhawks will also travel east to play the Central Division on the road for the first time since 2019. The Winterhawks will be on the road for their Central Division swing from October 27 to November 4 as a part of their longest road trip of the season.
The Hawks play nine straight road games against nine different opponents from October 21 to November 10. Conversely, the Winterhawks' season-long homestand will be a five-game stretch in early October.
The Winterhawks' busiest month of the season will be December with 12 games. The 2023-24 schedule contains 11 back-to-back sets, eight sets of three games in three days and one stretch of four games in five days.
Portland will play Seattle on the road on March 24 in the final WHL regular-season game before playoffs are expected to begin during the weekend of March 29.
HOLIDAY BREAK
The 2023-24 WHL Season will once again pause for its annual holiday break. The Winterhawks will not play games from December 17 - 26 and the team's offices are expected to be closed during that time.
