WHL to start 2021-22 campaign on Oct. 1
Western Hockey League fans can start to plan out their schedules.
Following the conclusion of their annual general meeting on Tuesday, the league announced that a full 68-game schedule will begin on Friday, Oct. 1, with all 22 buildings expected to be at full capacity.
The one difference in this year’s schedule, which will conclude on April 3, 2022, is the fact that teams from the Eastern Conference will not square off with teams from the Western Conference until the league final.
Teams across the WHL will be announcing their home openers starting on Wednesday, with a league-wide pre-season slate to follow on June 21.
