The Sarnia Legionnaires released their full 2025-2026 regular season schedule and ticket information in June on their team website. The announcement lets fans, season ticket holders and youth hockey programs plan travel and fundraising months ahead. The schedule kicks off with a home opener at Pat Stapleton Arena on September 11, 2025, and runs through March 2026.

The 50-game slate features 25 home dates at Pat Stapleton Arena (134 Brock Street), known locally as “the Brock Street Barn,” with most games on Thursday nights to avoid conflicts with the Sarnia Sting’s Friday and Sunday dates. This timing is designed to boost attendance downtown and help Mitton Village pubs and restaurants maintain a steady flow of customers.

Tickets start at $12 for adults (19–59). Youth (11–18) and seniors (60+) are listed at $10; children 10 and under are free when accompanied by a paid adult (otherwise $10). Season-pass and flex-pass options are also available. Tickets and passes can be purchased via the team’s box office page on the Legionnaires website, through the Showpass platform, or in person at Pat Stapleton Arena.

Under head coach Mike Bondy, the team is looking to rebound from last season’s 17–29–4 finish and integrate new additions reported by local outlets and the club, including Russian forward Anton Smirnov, Sting under-18 draftee Olivier Romain, and goaltender Justin Audet. The team announced that Sarnia hockey legend Bill Lochead will take part in the ceremonial puck drop at the home opener to help kick off the season.

Local youth hockey associations can now lock in travel plans for away games, while businesses that rely on game-night crowds expect a 20–30 per cent bump in revenue on home dates. Community organizers say having the schedule set months in advance makes fundraising and event planning much easier.
