Calgary Hitmen spared marathon roadie as WHL releases regular-season slate

Hey ... at least there's no 11-game road trips this time.

The Calgary Hitmen released their 2015-16 schedule Wednesday afternoon, and GM Mike Moore said he's comfortable with the upcoming slate.

"It's a nice, well-balanced schedule," Moore said. "There's a little tough travel here and there along the way.

"But that happens when you're playing 72 games and you're travelling across four provinces and a bunch of states."

There's no marathon roadies like the Brier-induced, 11-game monster last February and March.

In fact, the longest the defending WHL Central Division champs will be away from the Dome is five games.
