The Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL) has made the extremely difficult decision to cancel the remainder of the competitive season which includes regular season games and playoffs.
After multiple discussions with Public Health, representatives of the Provincial Government, Facility Managers and Stakeholders, The MJHL Board of Governors have determined that the resumption and completion of the 2020-21 regular league / playoff season is not feasible due to current conditions.
It has become unrealistic to continue operating in a state of hope with so much uncertainty and no timeline provided. It is unfair to our athletes and staff, our community organizations who have been severely impacted financially and the communities / regions our organizations support and garner support from.

Some local roadways will be receiving upgrades, as part of the Saskatchewan government’s 300-million-dollar investment in highways over the next two years.
Highway 229, to Good Spirit Provincial Park will get thin-membrane surface upgrades.
Meanwhile, Highway 16 will see passing lanes added in two areas – from Springside to Saltcoats, and from Clavet to Viscount.
Both projects are expected to be completed this fall, and the roadwork is part of the province’s two-year, two-billion-dollar stimulus package, aimed at speeding up the economic recovery from COVID-19.
American defensive back Damon Webb has re-signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
