Saskatoon / 650 CKOM Mar 14, 2021 8:04 PM Saskatoon Blades forward Blake Stevenson scores his second goal of the game against Regina Pats goaltender Roddy Ross in a 6-3 win on March 14, 2021. (Keith Hershmiller Photography) It was a rivalry renewed in Regina on Sunday as the Saskatoon Blades defeated the host Pats 6-3 in the clubs’ first meeting of the 2020-21 WHL season. Normally the rivalry between the two clubs, who are only separated by a two-hour drive along Highway 11, would have fans in the stands cheering and booing, hoping their team bests the rival. “It’s pretty weird not having anyone in the stands. We really make our own energy and we were really loud out there tonight and we were kind of feeding off each other,” said Blades forward Blake Stevenson, who had two goals — including the game-winner.

SASKATOON -- The Saskatoon Blades are getting used to life in a bubble, preparing for their opening game of a 24-game WHL regular season Saturday afternoon against Swift Current. “Essentially, it's a long road trip,” said head coach Mitch Love. Players and staff from seven WHL teams are living at the dorms on the University of Regina campus, with practice times split between the Co-operators Centre and the Brandt Centre, where every game will be played. Other than the amount of games played, “every other day essentially, for 48 days”, things don’t appear to be that different on the ice.
