21-22 Schedule

[passive voice]

It's dead in here!

The league and its teams have (maybe optimistically?) started releasing schedule info. A bunch of teams have announced home-openers. More interesting, sounds like it's conference-only play.

Edit: They're also swapping the division playoff format back to the conference format, which, whatever.

yes, couldn't figure out what looked different. Saw 6 games in a row PG vs VIC. Then dawned on me , no east teams . So cost cutting perhaps.

WHL changes regular-season schedule border issues COVID-19 - TSN.ca

What a crock. The border closure continues to be two-tiered between the haves and the have-nots. You are a professional league that can afford charter flights or you're an individual willing to fly to the US - great, have fun. You are a minor league team that travels on buses or you would prefer to drive across the border- nope, too bad, so sad, maybe next month, or maybe not. lol

I wonder what the new Alberta public health rules mean for the WHL teams there?

Mostly nothing. Teams can enforce vaccination status as an entry requirement and not be restricted in capacity.
