On Monday afternoon, the OHL released its 2025 pre-season schedule. The games start back up on Aug. 29 with the Oshawa Generals taking on the Saginaw Spirit at the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium.

The Kitchener Rangers play host once again to another pre-season Labor Day weekend showcase at the “Aud.” Oshawa, Saginaw, and the Brantford Bulldogs are the other three teams taking part in the showcase. 

The 2025-26 pre-season schedule consists of 50 games, running until Sept. 14. The OHL’s regular season starts up four days later on Sept. 18. 

On Sept. 3, the Sudbury Wolves will host the QMJHL’s Rouyn-Noranda Huskies in Timmins, Ontario. Last month, the OHL and QMJHL announced they will have inter-league games between the two leagues, consisting of four games.

The QMJHL’s Gatineau Olympiques will face off against the Ottawa 67’s, while Rouyn-Noranda will take on Sudbury. It marks the first time since 2022-23 that there will be inter-league matches between the two leagues.
