2012-13 Manitoba Bisons/CIS Thread

[Hollywood]

The Bison schedule page confirms the games previously noted by Regina, North Dakota, and Bemidji. It also adds that they will visit Regina for their tournament on September 14-15.

The UBC schedule page has added that they will play an opponent TBD on December 28-29. Last year they played Simon Fraser at that time, but will face them in the pre-season this time. The schedule says the games will be played at Burnaby. So maybe it's a tournament with all the local teams? None of the BCIHL teams have schedule pages launched.

Three CIS schools (McMaster, Bishop's and Trent) play for a Challenge Cup against club teams from various Ontario colleges. The OCCCR handles rec sports and now runs a series of tournaments in lieu of a regular season. The top 12 compete for the Challenge Cup at the end of the year. The games are non-contact. It is all covered at The Ontario College Hockey News. There was also a game last year where Bishop's beat McMaster 5-2. It seems that this is a long way away from CIS competition, and not at all like the ACAC or BCIHL. Hopefully a college league will be formed once again for Ontario and Quebec.
