Along with the second half of the Wolves-Express twinbill, Saturday will see the start of a trio of Saturday/Sunday matches as the Metro Jets make the trip to Pittsburgh to see if they can solve the 2-0-0-0 Vengeance, the Chicago Bulldogs will travel to the Owens Center in Peoria for the first of two against the Mustangs and the St. Louis Junior Blues will open a weekend set against the Nasvhille Jr. Predators at the Affton Arena. The 1-0-0-0 Wooster Oilers will look to stay undefeated with a home and away set on the weekend with the Toledo Cherokee. The Saturday game will be played at the Toledo Ice House while the Oilers will finally play its own home opener Sunday at Alice Noble Ice Arena.
