AJHL Opening Weekend Schedule

Like the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL), British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL) and a handful of games for the North American Hockey League (NAHL) before the League's Blaine Showcase, the Alberta Junior Hockey League will officially unleash the league's new OT Rules which is going to 3-on-3 followed by a shootout if the game is still tied.

In addition to the AJHL, the BCHL revelled new rules last year where you have 5 minutes of 4-on-4 and then another 5 minutes of 3-on-3. Unlike most other leagues around the world, the BCHL still has no shootouts during the regular season and will end games in tie if the 3-on-3 OT Periods ends in a tie.
