The Okotoks Bisons get the Heritage Junior "B" Hockey League regular season going Friday, September 22,a at home as they host the Cochrane Generals.

Bisons G.M. Brent Trevors says just like the start of every season, optimism is high.

"You start every year you know, thinking you have a chance to win. So, right now that's our goal. Obviously we have a few spots we think we could fill to make us a little stronger, but right now I think we have a lot of depth. A good defensive corps and some good goaltending."

The High River Flyers get their season started Saturday, September 23, in Coaldale against the Copperheads.
