After a weekend off, the Diamond Energy Female Midget AAA Wildcats look to add to their 2-0 record to start the season in their home-opening weekend.

The Wildcats are coming off 7-0 and 5-2 wins over the Weyburn Goldwings on September 16 and 17 respectively.

Ahead for the weekend are two games at home against the Regina Rebels, who the Wildcats eliminated in double-overtime of Game 4 of a best-of-5 last year to advance to the semi-finals of the Saskatchewan Female Midget AAA Hockey League playoffs.

Now in the 2017-18 season, the match-up still looks to be a competitive one, according to Wildcats head coach Terry Pavely.

"Even though we have a really good record through exhibition and the regular season so far, I don't know if that's a true indication of our hockey team yet," he said. "This will be the first real test we get, and we're really looking forward to the opportunity to test ourselves against a team that's going to be a pretty good team in our league I'd assume."

The key in the test against Regina will be tightening up play throughout all three periods, as Pavely admits the cliche of having to "be ready to play 60 minutes" certainly fits the game-plan this weekend.

"Against Weyburn, our moments of really bad play really didn't cost us. If we have those lapses against a good team like Regina, they're going to cost us."

Both goaltenders look to keep splitting starts between the pipes for Swift Current, as the Wildcats coaches will be alternating between veteran keeper Harper Davey and rookie Amaya Giraudier.

Davey and Giraudier each recorded wins in the Weyburn weekend. Davey, a product of Moose Jaw, picked up the shutout on 11 shots in the 7-0 win, while the Assiniboia-born Giraudier stopped 8 of 10 shots in the 5-2 win over the Goldwings.

Puck drop for tonight's game between the Diamond Energy Female Midget AAA Wildcats and the Regina Rebels is 7 p.m. at Fairview West arena, in what is the Rebels' regular-season opener.
