A notable stretch for both teams has them playing their cross-town rivals from Alberta at the David Atkinson Gym on Feb. 2-3 and visiting perennial powerhouse Trinity Western Feb. 9-10 in Langley, B.C.
"Some new faces and key veterans are all looking forward to beginning the 2023-24 season in the extremely competitive Canada West," said Griffins men's head coach Brad Poplawski. "Everyone is excited about the year and the team cannot wait to get going in the fall."
The Griffins women will host Regina alone on Nov. 24-25 (6 p.m. and 3 p.m., respectively) as the school doesn't have a men's team.
To balance out the schedule, the Griffins men will also host a weekend by themselves as the UBC Thunderbirds visit Nov. 10-11 (6 p.m. and 3 p.m., respectively).
Both MacEwan teams will wrap up the regular season Feb. 16-17 vs. UBC Okanagan at the David Atkinson Gym.
More information on tickets will be made available closer to the season.
