Western Canada’s shift to permanent daylight saving time has disrupted traditional hockey schedules, leading to unusually early NHL games in the region. Teams now face matches beginning as early as 7 a.m. local time, forcing players, coaches, and fans to adjust to an unorthodox start. The change has sparked discussions about the impact on player performance, travel logistics, and fan attendance. With no plans to revert to standard time, the league must navigate the challenges of an altered season structure.
