Blackout & Schedule Release Timeline

2025-26 SEASON

WHAT IS A BLACKOUT DATE?

When a team is unavailable to play a scheduled game or practice due to a team activity (e.g. Tournament), Coaches are required to submit a blackout request in advance to our VP of Ice & Scheduling. The League (BMHL & WEHL) will make every effort to reschedule the game and/or practice if Coaches submit their request before the deadlines outlined below.

IMPORTANT: This schedule is subject to change. In this event, the WEHL will notify Coaches by email as soon as possible.

DEADLINE TO SUBMIT BLACKOUT REQUEST SCHEDULE RELEASE DATE SCHEDULE COVERS GAMES IN
- October 8 October to November 15
October 22 November 1 Up until the end of December
November 19 December 1 Up until the end of January
December 15 January 5 Up until the end of February
No further requests accepted February 11 Playoffs

 

Each schedule release date is based on current team information and blackout submissions received by the corresponding deadline.

Requests for changes after these dates will not be accommodated.
