According to sources, the WHL contest between heated rivals will be just one element in a larger weekend extravaganza that also includes an NHL/WHL alumni game at the stadium.

Details on the planned festivities are to be announced at a media conference on Friday.

Regina will be an epicenter for major-junior hockey over the next eight months with the Pats playing their 100th season in conjunction with the 100th anniversary of the Memorial Cup. The CHL’s championship tournament will be played from May 18 to 27 at the Brandt Centre.

Numerous special events are being planned around the two centennials.

The Pats originally proposed an outdoor game as part of their Memorial Cup bid early this year. Although the Canadian Hockey League declined to consider the game in its final selection process, the Pats moved forward with their plans for an outdoor game as part of the centennial celebration.
