Knights Home Opener 2026-2027

KNIGHTS SET TO OPEN HOME SCHEDULE AGAINST ALMAGUIN SPARTANS

Meaford Knights welcome fans back to the Castle for Home Opener and Fire Prevention Night

The wait is almost over! The Meaford Knights Junior Hockey Club will officially kick off its 2026–27 home schedule this Thursday, October 15, as they welcome the Almaguin Spartans to the Meaford & St. Vincent Community Center. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 PM.

After beginning the season on the road, the Knights are finally returning to familiar territory, and the organization is looking forward to welcoming the Meaford community back to the Castle for another exciting season of junior hockey.

Thursday's home opener will be about much more than just hockey, as the Knights have partnered with the Meaford Fire Department to recognize Fire Prevention Night, helping raise awareness about fire safety throughout the community.

Members of the Meaford Fire Department will be in attendance, alongside everyone's favourite fire safety mascot, Sparky the Fire Dog! Fans will have an opportunity to meet some of the dedicated men and women who help keep the Meaford community safe while learning more about the importance of fire prevention.

On the ice, the Knights will be looking to make a strong first impression in front of their home crowd. With a roster featuring players from across Canada and around the world, this year's team brings an exciting international flavour to Meaford.

Thursday's matchup also provides another opportunity for the Knights and Spartans to renew their early-season rivalry after meeting in Almaguin just last weekend.

The organization is encouraging fans, families, and supporters throughout the community to come out, pack the stands, and help create an electric atmosphere for the team's first home game of the season.

Whether you're a longtime Knights supporter or attending your first junior hockey game, Thursday promises to be a great opportunity to enjoy an evening of hockey while supporting an important community initiative.
