Vancouver Island University’s new hockey team had a perfect pre-season and will try to parlay that into success as it starts playing games that count in the standings.

The VIU Mariners, an expansion team for 2017-18, begin the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League regular season this Saturday (Oct. 7) with a home game against the Trinity Western University Spartans.

The M’s won all five of their exhibition games in September, three against men’s teams and two against BCIHL competition.

GAME ON … The Mariners take on the Spartans on Saturday at 7:45 p.m. at the Nanaimo Ice Centre. There will be opening ceremonies leading up to the puck drop. Tickets cost $5 and will be available at the door.
