Alright hockey fans, let’s dive into how I tracked down the Saint John season schedule this morning. Woke up super early because buddy texted me asking when our first home game hits the ice. Coffee in hand, laptop fired up – mission time.
The Wild Goose Chase Begins
First I googled “Saint John hockey 2023 schedule” like a total rookie rookie. Big mistake. Got flooded with:
- Last season’s playoff stats from some random forum
- Ticket reseller sites wanting my credit card first
- A Quebec Major Junior Hockey League article from 2022 (cool story but useless)
Spent 20 minutes clicking through garbage links till I remembered the team rebranded last year. Duh! Had to search using the new team name specifically.
Hitting Paydirt
Finally found what looked like the legit league calendar around 7AM. Scrolled past fifty ads for sports betting apps (annoying!) and there it was – the motherlode.
Mark your calendars people:
- Preseason kicks off September 15th vs Moncton (away game)
- Home opener October 7th against Cape Breton – gonna be LOUD
- Christmas break December 18-January 5 (perfect for holiday road trips)
- Final regular season game March 23rd in Charlottetown
Nearly spilled coffee spotting that October 7th date. Immediately texted my brother to block his calendar – our annual tradition since 2015.
Pro Tips For Fellow Fans
After this circus, here’s what I learned:
- Always search CURRENT YEAR + OFFICIAL LEAGUE NAME
- Screenshots > trusting memory (saved the schedule to my phone)
- Follow team socials – they posted schedule 3 hours after I found it!
Feeling pumped now. Cleared my weekends through April already. See y’all at Harbour Station October 7th – I’ll be the guy in the vintage jersey losing his voice by period two!
