2025-26 Regular Season Schedule Released

The Allan Cup Hockey League (ACHL) released the 2025-26 regular season schedule today.

Returning to vie for the 2026 J. Ross Robertson Cup Championship are the 2024-25 league and Allan Cup Champion Wentworth Gryphins, along with the Dundas Real McCoys and the Stoney Creek Tigers. Joining the three returning teams are two new teams in the Cambridge Hornets and the St. Catharines Saints.

Cambridge will be calling the Galt Arena Gardens home and will primarily be playing Friday night home games starting at 8pm. The Saints will be playing their home games out of the Merritton Centennial Arena on Saturday nights with the puck dropping at 7:30pm. The initial announcement stated that St.  Catharines would play out of the Bill Burgoyne Arena, but due to ice time issues, the move was made to the Merritton Centennial Arena.

During the offseason, the Tigers announced that they would be moving from Gateway Ice Center to the downtown core and playing out of the Stoney Creek Arena. Game times at their new home will remain at 6:30pm on Saturdays.

For the 2025-26 season, teams will face each other six (6) times, three times at home and three times on the road for a total of 12 home games and 12 road games. The season will get underway on Thursday, October 23^rd when the defending J. Ross Robertson Cup and Allan Cup Champion Wentworth Gryphins host the Cambridge Hornets at the Harry Howell Arena in Flamborough starting at 7:30pm.

The regular season will conclude on Friday, February 28, 2026, with a pair of games which will see the Gryphins take on the Stoney Creek Tigers at the Stoney Creek Arean in Stoney Creek starting at 6:30pm and the Hornets facing off against the St. Catharines Saints at the Merritton Centennial Arena in St. Catharines starting at 7:30pm. The following week will see the start of the post season.

The march to the 2026 Allan Cup, which is being played in Conception Bay South, Newfoundland and Labrador, starts NOW!
