Not an easy start to the weekend for the High River Flyers in the Heritage Junior "B" Hockey League Friday night.

The Flyers take on the best team in the North Division, the Mountainview Colts.

The Colts could be ripe for the picking though as they're just 5-4-and-1 in their last 10.

The puck drops at 8:15 at the Rec-Plex.

In Okotoks, it's an all Foothills match-up as the Strathmore Wheatland Kings are in town to face the Bisons.

Bisons Assistant Captain Mark McLeod says they've have to do some shuffling with defenceman Jaret Bordt on the sidelines.

"I guess next man up. You know guys are having to play different positions, but they're doing a good job. It's definitely an adjustment for them and for everyone, but you've got to do that to win."

Game time in Okotoks is 8 o'clock at the Murray Arena.

And the CFR "AAA" Midget Bisons are in action Friday night as well as they host the Red Deer Optimist Chiefs.

That's an 8 o'clock start at the Strathmore Family Centre.
