On Friday and Saturday night, the St. John's IceCaps will play host to the Toronto Marlies at Mile One Centre in St. John's.
It's the first meeting between the two sides this year, although the players will be familiar with each other from the three-game preseason-tour the teams did across Newfoundland.
There are many intriguing story lines coming into this series. The Marlies have history in St. John's, as they were the original AHL franchise in the city (St. John's Maple Leafs) until relocating to Toronto.
The match will also see plenty of top prospects, from both organizations, playing against their bitter rivals for the first time in their professional careers.
