According to the Saint John Sea Dogs’ official Twitter page, the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League will release their 2010-2011 regular season schedule Friday.
The QMJHL released the 2010 pre-season schedule yesterday.
The schedule will feature 68 games for all 18 teams in the Quebec circuit. The league announced in February that the divisions would be realigned for this season, creating a Maritime, Telus West, and Telus East division for the upcoming campaign.
At the same time, the scheduling format was adjusted to the following:
TELUS West
6 games against each opponent within the division: 30 games
4 games against each opponent in the TELUS East division: 24 games
2 games against each opponent in the Maritimes division: 12 games
1 game, in rotation, against two opponents in the Maritimes division: 2 games
Exception: Val-d’Or and Rouyn-Noranda will play each other eight times.
TELUS East
6 games against each opponent within the division: 30 games
4 games against each opponent in the TELUS West division: 24 games
2 games against each opponent in the Maritimes division: 12 games
1 game, in rotation, against two opponents in the Maritimes division: 2 games
Exception: Baie-Comeau and Chicoutimi will play each other eight times.
Maritimes
8 games against each opponent within the division: 40 games
2 games against each opponent in the TELUS East division: 12 games
2 games against each opponent in the TELUS West division: 12 games
1 game against four opponents of the TELUS East and TELUS West divisions, in rotation over a six-year period: 4 games.
Traditionally, the league champion opens up the regular season on home ice the day prior to the rest of the league beginning their fresh seasons.
The Sea Dogs have opened the year on the road for the past three seasons. The last two were both at the KC Irving Regional Centre in Bathurst.
