The Scottish National League (SNL) fixtures for the 2022/23 campaign have been confirmed.
The regular season will start with three fixtures on Saturday, 3rd September, and run through until the end of March.
The opening weekend sees reigning champions Kirkcaldy Kestrels in action as they travel to face North Ayrshire Wild at Auchenharvie Leisure Centre.
Aberdeen Lynx kick-off their campaign at home to Dundee Comets, while Kilmarnock Thunder go head-to-head with Dundee Tigers.
Paisley Pirates start their season the following Sunday at home to North Ayrshire, while Edinburgh Capitals hit the ice for the first time at Kirkcaldy on Saturday, 17th September.
The clubs play each other twice at home and twice away this term in a move designed to improve the standard and appeal of the SNL.
However, due to ice time pressures at Dundee Ice Arena, the Comets and Tigers will play other teams just once at home for double points.
All eight teams will contest the play-offs at the end of the regular season campaign, with the four winning quarter-finalists progressing to the SNL Play-Off Final Weekend.
The Scottish Cup also returns this season and will be played as a single-game elimination tournament from the opening round through to the final.
