It's October, and October means hockey.
The Hitmen's season is already underway. Soon, the Flames will be going, too. But tonight, hockey in Calgary belongs to a different team, as the 2015-16 Clarkson Cup champion Calgary Inferno officially kick off their 2016-17 season.
The season begins tonight, at 7:45 p.m. in Winsport's Markin MacPhail Centre, in the 'A' arena. Tickets are available for just $15.
The Inferno host the Brampton Thunder this weekend. The Thunder were the last team to come to Calgary, back in February of this year, for the CWHL's semifinals. The Inferno beat the Thunder in back-to-back contests - first by a score of 4-2, then 4-3 - to earn the right to play for the Clarkson Cup.
