Get excited! Opening Day 2016 is less than four weeks away*!

For the seventh season in a row, Opening Day will feature a rematch of the championship game, as Filthier takes on the Rehabs, who have moved up to the Tagliarino Conference.  Plus, there is the traditional heaping helpful of eight divisional games to kick the season off on the right note, including the following highlights:

• Fuzz makes their highly anticipated debut, and while the Tuques would have made for the perfect opponent, they have been in the league’s alumni section for years.  So behind door number two, its…the Corlears Hookers.  Can Richie’s new team exceed expectations and pull off an Opening Day upset, like the Elves did in 2008?
• The Sky Fighters are playing in their first game without former captain Dan Hopper and have also moved up a division.  So it’s probably a good thing that they avoided Fresh Kills to start off the season.  The Denim Demons weren’t as lucky.
• The Gremlins and Poutine Machine switched divisions for this season, so we’re giving them the other non-divisional game of the day.  And since it is a later game, we’re sure that Jamie will have already subbed as a goalie for a couple of other teams and John Walker will be upset about games running late because Jamie needed multiple water breaks.
