The Manitoba Junior Hockey League wishes to announce that its league finals playoff game scheduled for Sunday, April 8 in Virden, MB between the Steinbach Pistons and Virden Oil Capitals has been postponed.
The MJHL office, its member clubs, players and team staffs are profoundly saddened by the devastating bus/truck accident involving the Humboldt Broncos that occurred on April 6 near Nipawin, SK. MJHL Commissioner, Mr. Kim Davis said, “Out of the deepest respect to the Humboldt Broncos organization, its players and parents, the SJHL and its member clubs, we do not believe that Sunday’s MJHL playoff game should be played as scheduled. The MJHL playoff season will resume, but the next few days will be focused on mourning, supporting the SJHL and reflecting on the loss of life that we can’t comprehend at this time.”
