The Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League announced it's pre-season schedule earlier this week, and the Kindersley Jr. Klippers will be on the ice before the calendar flips to September.
The Klippers will start their pre-season August 29 on the road against the Drumheller Dragons. After that game, Kindersley will leave the hoodoos and head north to Lloydminster on September 1 for a matinee against the Bobcats, coming home to Kindersley for a quick turnaround on September 2 against Humboldt.
After that the team will practice for a week before going to Humboldt on September 8, and then return home on September 10 with Drumheller in town for the pre-season finale. Then another week of practice and cutting down the roster will lead to the regular season beginning September 19 on the road, with the first game of a traditional home and home with the Battlefords North Stars.
