CALGARY — The Western Hockey League playoffs will begin April 22, the league announced Thursday.
That will allow for the rescheduling of previously postponed regular-season games.
The 2021-22 regular season is scheduled to end April 17. If tie-breaker games are required, they'll be played April 19.
The WHL post-season will feature the reintroduction of the conference playoff format, including three best-of-seven rounds followed by a best-of-seven league championship series.
The WHL championship is scheduled for June 3-14. The league champion will advance to the Memorial Cup, which will be held from June 20-29 in Saint John, N.B.
