On June 17, the Blue Jackets announced their 2010 pre-season schedule. The team will play nine games during the pre-season, including one against a Swedish team, Malmo Redhawks. The game was originally to feature a combined squad featuring players from Malmo and Rogle BK, but these plans fell through as the archrival clubs did not feel that they could compete as a unit.
