In keeping with tradition, the La Ronge Ice Wolves will play back-to-back games against the Flin Flon Bombers starting in Flin Flon.

“We have had a busy off-season in the SJHL, holding our annual general meeting, our scheduling meeting and our SJHL Draft,” said Commissioner Kyle McIntyre.

“We are 86 days away from puck drop, and we are excited to bring quality hockey to our fans, our communities, our players, and our many sponsors. Success starts here.”

The SJHL is split into three divisions for the 2025-26 season.

The three divisions include: Weyburn Red Wings, Yorkton Terriers, Melville Millionaires and Estevan Bruins; Flin Flon Bombers, Nipawin Hawks, Melfort Mustangs and La Ronge Ice Wolves; Warman Wolverines, Humboldt Broncos, Kindersley Klippers and Battlefords North Stars.

An event schedule announcement, key dates, and playoff format will be released in the coming weeks.
