Richmond Sockeyes and Minoru Arenas will host the inaugural Pacific Junior Hockey League Winter Classic.

The three-day event, slated for Jan. 1-3 during the coming PJHL season, will showcase all 10 teams in the junior “B” loop including the hometown Sockeyes. Each team will play two regular season games over the three days making it an ideal opportunity for scouts from junior and university programs to recruit potential prospects.

The Sockeyes are slated to open the 2015-16 season Sept. 8 against the Delta Ice Hawks in Ladner, before hosting the Grandview Steelers two nights later at Minoru.
