The High River Flyers get the Heritage Junior "B" Hockey League Season going Saturday, September 23, when they head to Coaldale to face the Copperheads.

Flyers Coach Tyson Avery says it's never easy to play in "The Snakepit."

"No it's not. A very hard rink to play in. Coaldale's a very good team and very good organization, but it's a fun place to play. The crowd's great down there, they like to get on the players, which is fun to see with the crowd getting into the game. It'll be a good game, they'll be a tough team to play against, you can't take them for granted that's for sure."

The Flyers play their home opener Friday, September 29, against the Blackfalds Wranglers.
