A bit of a swing and a miss for the High River Flyers as they opened the Heritage Junior "B" Hockey League season over the weekend.

They fell 7-3 to the Cochrane Generals in their opener Friday night at home.

They didn't fare much better Saturday in Coaldale as they were dumped 8-1 by the Copperheads.

The Okotoks Bisons split their opening games, beating coaldale 4-2 at home Friday, but losing 6-4 to the Wheatland Kings in Strathmore Sunday.
