The Warriors will face the Estevan Bears in their home opener at Mosaic Place, marking the first regular-season contest for the local squad since a 4-3 loss to the Regina Pat Canadians back on Nov. 21, 2020. A few days later, the remainder of the SMAAAHL season was put on hold due to the ongoing pandemic, and was later outright cancelled.

Estevan, meanwhile, capped their exhibition schedule with a 2-1 record, taking a 2-0 win over Regina on Sept. 4 and a 5-2 victory over Notre Dame Sept. 11 before dropping a 3-2 decision to the Pat Cs on Sept. 19.
