Dragons fans have been waiting for the action to return on the ice. After two months of inner squad games, the AJHL will soon be back on the ice of exhibition games.
The AJHL will launch its exhibition season this Friday, October 9 with seven games. The league is currently restricted to two-team cohorts, under regulations determined by the Alberta Government.
This means the Drumheller Dragons will be matched up with the Camrose Kodiaks for six games.
The Dragons will host the Kodiaks on Friday, October 9, and then play in Camrose Saturday, October 10, and Friday, October 16. They will be back on home ice on Saturday, October 17, away on October 23, and home again on Saturday, October 24.
Arena capacity limits, social distancing protocols within the facility, and the ticket sales process will be dictated by the regulations within each community and the respective team.
The AJHL Exhibition Season outline meets the current health and safety requirements of the Government of Alberta and aligns with Hockey Canada’s Return to Hockey Safety Guidelines and Hockey Alberta’s Return to Hockey Plan in focusing on the safety and wellbeing of all participants and spectators.
A decision on the next series of exhibition play and the AJHL Regular Season will be dependent on the expansion of cohorts and increase in facility capacity limits as determined by the Government of Alberta. The Alberta Junior Hockey League is poised to immediately commence regular-season competition when Provincial regulations allow.
