The Canadian NHL Teams will warm up for the Canadian Championships with early Regular Season NHL action. There does not seem to be a clear cut favourite to win the championship in 2008-2009, although the Canadiens, Canucks and Oilers look strong. A number of All-Canadian match-ups occur in October, which will give us a hint of what's to come for the rest of the season. Stay tuned for updates before the "real" games begin.

Each team plays 10 games. One home and one away against each of the other Canadian teams.
Teams in the same conference play each other more than twice during the regular season, however only two of the meetings were selected (home and away). The games selected were Nationally Televised on TSN, CBC-Hockey Night in Canada (particularly on Hockey Day in Canada), or Holidays where possible.
The Canadian Championship will use same point structure as the NHL Regular Season (W - 2 pts, OTL - 1 pt, SOL - 1 pt)
The Champion will be the team with the most points.
