This was the first season for the Moose Jaw Warriors, with the Winnipeg Warriors relocating to Moose Jaw prior to the season. This brought WHL hockey back to Moose Jaw for the first time since 1968, when the Moose Jaw Canucks left the league. In addition, the Kamloops Junior Oilers became a community-owned club and were renamed the Blazers.
