8 PM McGill (0-0) at Laval (0-0) Les Rouge et Or lost a heartbreaker last night at Bishop's on a last-second shot and look to rebound against the Redmen, who are playing their QSSF season opener.
8 PM Bishop's (1-0) at UQAM (0-0) The Citadins open their regular season hosting the Gaiters, who feature emerging 6'1" All-Canadian candidate Junior Nicolas, who had 30 last night in a dramatic win against Laval in Lennoxville.

8 PM Laurier (0-1) at #10 Toronto (1-0) The Blues look to make it two in a row against the Kitchener/Waterloo entries while the Hawks need to rebound after last night's surprising loss at Ryerson.
8 PM Waterloo (0-1) at Ryerson (1-0) The Rams have gone to probably Canada's biggest lineup with 6'11" Igor Bakovic, 6'10" Joey Imbrogno and 6'7" Boris Bakovic supported by 6'2" veteran Brandon Krupa at the point, which could provide matchup problems for teams.
8 PM Guelph (1-0) at #8 Queen's (1-0) The most interesting OUA matchup of the evening has the Gaels, who are in the Top 10 for the first time in their history, hosting the Gryphs, who are on the verge of a Top 10 selection. Both teams defend, rebound, are deep and feature top-level players. This is the feature game in the OUA tonight.
8 PM #1 Carleton (1-0) at Lakehead (0-1) The Thunderwolves expect 6'3" Lerry Williams back in the lineup after a one-game suspension and hope that 6'6" Warren Thomas can stay out of foul trouble which limited him to 1 minute in the first half against Ottawa last night. The Ravens played last night without 6'7" Kevin McCleery - no word on whether or not he will be available this evening. Audio play-by-play as well as Video Webcast (Pay-per-view)

10 PM Saskatchewan (1-2) at #5 Alberta (3-0) The Bears' 6'2" Alex Steele had 30 last night in the first of two between these pair of Central Division rivals while 6'8" Andrew Spagrud continues to be a load inside for anyone.
