Lots of Alberta and Minnesota love to kick off next season as Winnipeg has released their pre-season schedule. These are the exact same teams that Winnipeg played last year in the pre-season.
Another bonus to this schedule is that if you head down to Minnesota for the Wild game on the 8th of October you can also see a Vikings/Texans game on the 9th.
Locally the Winnipeg Blue Bombers will be hosting the Edmonton Eskimos in some CFL action on the 30th with start time about 30 minutes after the puck drops downtown. There is also a Bombers home afternoon game on the 8th of October which starts at 3 pm.
