As Northern Ontario Jr. Hockey League cohort opponents, the Cochrane Crunch and Timmins Rock are slated to play 10 games against each other between March 10 and March 30.

Neither team has played since just before Christmas but Cochrane managed to get in 11 games during November and December while Timmins saw action 12 times during that span.
