SUDBURY, Ont. – The Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League (NOJHL) announced Sunday its revamped regular season schedule for February and March.

All 12 NOJHL clubs will return to the ice to complete a 48-game slate, which will include inter-divisional contests with each team having a pair of match-ups, one home and one away, against squads from the league’s respective East & West Divisions.

While teams will be getting back on the ice, starting Monday, for practices and training sessions, regular season play will resume Thursday on two fronts as the Hearst Lumberjacks host the Cochrane Crunch and the Greater Sudbury Cubs welcome the Espanola Express in a pair of 7:30 p.m. starts.

The regular season is scheduled to conclude March 28, with playoff competition beginning shortly after that.

Each NOJHL contest will be streamed live, and on demand, via HockeyTV.com.
