The puck has already dropped on the 2018 - 2019 season in the Heritage Junior Hockey League (HJHL) but tonight (September 21) it's the Airdrie Thunder's turn to get in on the fun

Tonight the Thunder play their home, and season opener at 8:00 pm at the Ron Ebbesen Arena.  Their opponents will be the Stettler Lightning.

The HJHL has actually been going for a week with six teams already having seen action.  The Mountainview Colts from Didsbury play their first game tomorrow night when they host the High River Flyers at the Didsbury Rec Complex starting at 8:00 pm.

The Cochrane Generals won't see action until next Saturday night, September 29th when their home opener sees them entertaining Mountainview.

Tonight's game is the first of two this weekend for the Thunder.  They'll also travel tomorrow night to take on the Coaldale Copperheads.
