The annual Showcase is also scheduled for mid-January.
“After a very long 16-months for all of our teams, players and fans, we’re very excited to get to work on our 2021-22 season with the puck dropping on Friday, September 24th.” said GOJHL Commissioner Brent Garbutt. “Despite it being a few weeks later than normal, we believe this date will allow sufficient time for our players and teams to prepare while maintaining our top priority of their health and safety.”
The GOJHL also announced its Board of Directors.
