THUNDER BAY – The Thunder Bay Chill’s schedule is out, and the USL League 2 team will open the regular season on June 2 against expansion Rochester FC.
The team’s first action will be their traditional pre-season contests against the Winnipeg Lions, on May 20 and May 21, at Tbaytel Field at Chapples Park.
The Chill will play each of the six other teams in the Deep North Division once at home and once on the road, for a 12-game schedule. That’s two fewer games than in 2022.
Thunder Bay will play home games on June 9 against the St. Croix Legends, June 23 against RKC SC, July 5 against rival Manitoba FC, July 7 against Minneapolis FC and July 12, when Bavarian United comes to town for the final game of the regular season.
Two teams from the Deep North Division will make the playoffs.
