Ottawa hockey fans are getting ready to fill the seats at TD Place as the Ottawa 67's have officially released their 2016-17 Ontario Hockey League regular season schedule through the Canadian Hockey League.
For locals who've been counting down the days until puck drop, the schedule release is always one of the more exciting moments of the off-season — it's when you can finally start circling dates, planning road trips to divisional rivals, and figuring out which games to catch with the family.
What to Expect This Season
The 67's are one of the OHL's most storied franchises, and each new season brings renewed hope for a deep playoff run. With a fresh schedule in hand, fans can start mapping out the home-and-away slate and identifying the marquee matchups that tend to define a season.
The OHL schedule typically spans from September through March, with teams playing 68 regular season games before the playoffs begin. Home games at TD Place in Ottawa offer some of the best value in live sport in the city — family-friendly, affordable, and genuinely exciting hockey played by some of the country's top junior talent.
Why the 67's Matter to Ottawa
The Ottawa 67's have been part of the city's sports fabric since 1967, making them one of the oldest continuously operating teams in the OHL. Over the decades, the franchise has developed dozens of NHL players and remains a genuine point of local pride alongside the Ottawa Senators.
For many Ottawa families, a 67's game is a rite of passage — it's where kids fall in love with hockey and where die-hard fans spend cold winter evenings cheering on the next generation of Canadian talent.
Plan Your Season Now
With the full schedule now available through the Canadian Hockey League's official channels, fans are encouraged to get their tickets early for the most anticipated matchups. Season ticket packages and group rates are typically available through the team's website, and TD Place regularly sells out for rivalry games and playoff push nights.
Whether you're a longtime 67's faithful or a newcomer looking to experience Ottawa's junior hockey scene for the first time, the 2016-17 campaign is shaping up to be a season worth following from start to finish.
