Moose Jaw Warriors Schedule 2026
The Warriors trace back to 1980 as the Winnipeg Warriors before relocating to Moose Jaw in 1984, and the franchise still plays with the same forecheck-first identity that has defined it for four decades. Forward Landen McFadden led the 2025-26 roster with 68 points, pairing with Pavel McKenzie's 49 assists to anchor the top line. That combination gives fans a reason to watch the rebuild take shape game by game this season. See the Warriors take the ice at Event Tickets Center.
Division rival Regina Pats share the WHL's Eastern Conference and East Division with the Warriors, a rivalry built as much on geography as history along the Trans-Canada Highway between the two cities. The 2025-26 season ended at 25-36-5-2, good for fifth in the division and outside the playoff field, a step back from the standard set by past rosters, including Warriors alum Theoren Fleury, who posted back-to-back 100-point seasons here before going on to win a Stanley Cup with Calgary. Closing the gap on Regina is the clearest marker of progress heading into 2026-27.
Warriors hockey has called this building home since 2011, when it opened under its original name, Mosaic Place, before a sponsorship deal renamed it Temple Gardens Centre in 2025. The arena holds about 4,465 fans for hockey across 21 private suites and 132 club seats, plus an attached eight-sheet curling rink that keeps the building busy beyond game nights. That dual identity, hockey rink and curling hub under one roof, is unusual even by WHL standards and gives the building steady traffic most junior arenas only see twice a week.
The WHL's 2026-27 regular season runs 68 games for every club, opening league-wide on September 18, 2026, and closing March 28, 2027. Moose Jaw's slate is built around East Division road trips against the same division rivals that finished ahead of the Warriors in 2025-26, with home dates against Regina standing out first given how lopsided the 2025-26 meetings went in the Pats' favor. A full schedule swing through the East gives fans an early read on how much the roster has closed that gap.
Before 2024, Moose Jaw's only trip to the WHL Championship ended in a sweep by the Vancouver Giants in 2006, which made that breakthrough sweeter. That title came via a seven-game East final against the Saskatoon Blades that needed six overtime games to settle, then a sweep of the Portland Winterhawks for the Ed Chynoweth Cup, with defenseman Denton Mateychuk winning playoff MVP. Getting back to that stage is a long way off after missing the 2025-26 field, but that 2024 blueprint remains the standard now.
Junior hockey moves fast, and Moose Jaw's roster is stacked with players still writing their first chapters instead of coasting on reputation. That mix of development and grit is exactly what made the 2024 title run possible, and it's the same formula the team is leaning on again this season. Fans who want to watch the next core take shape have a season's worth of chances to do it live. Grab Moose Jaw Warriors tickets today at Event Tickets Center.
