Game times and locations will vary by week with most games being played on weekends, with the possibility of a weeknight based on necessity. Scheduling can fluctuate due to variables such as holidays, team photos and loss of club ice due to functions like tournaments and showcases. The grid below represents team schedules during any regular week.
TOURNAMENTS
All teams will target a number of Tournaments and Showcases to further strengthen their schedule in an effort to enhance both team and player development. Attendance is mandatory (with the exception of players who are injured) at all tournaments for all games, which, at times, requires school absences.

INJURY PREVENTION
All Sabre Bantam players are required to complete baseline testing with our club trainer, Pro Sports and Rehab. Pro Sports and Rehab supplies a team trainer for all home games and must have a baseline test on each player as a proper reference point. The test is provided for FREE, and you can be in and out within 15 minutes. Please schedule an appointment ASAP.
