LETHBRIDGE, AB – A little over two months remain until Lethbridge’s Western Hockey League (WHL) club hits the ice.

The WHL has announced the schedule for the 2022-2023 regular season.

A total of 748 games will be played between the league’s 22 teams. This year, the WHL says nearly 80% of regular-season games will be held on weekends and holidays.

“By focusing the schedule on weekends and holidays, WHL Clubs can further enhance the WHL player experience by allowing additional time for training and skill development, as well as academic enrichment,” the WHL says in a media release.

The regular season kicks off on Friday, September 23, 2022, with eight games on tap.
