There may be four seasons, but there's only one that truly matters and that's hockey season.
Thursday, at least in the QMJHL, will mark the season's solstice with the commencement of the pre-season.
The preseason will start with four games:
- Val-d'Or Foreurs at Rouyn-Noranda Huskies at 6 PM EST
- Quebec Remparts at Victoriaville Tigres at 7 PM EST
- Sherbrooke Phoenix at Drummondville Voltigeurs at 7 PM EST
- Gatineau Olympiques at Shawinigan Cataractes at 7 PM EST
Unfortunately, fans will have to wait until September 20th, for the start of the regular season.
