Congratulations to Capital Interior Black Horse for winning the League championship last night with a victory over Vail’s Canadian Light.

Due to the Growlers game on Monday night, our games for May 2nd have been moved to Feildian Gardens and the start times have changed as well. Check the website or facebook page to see the updated time for these games.

In the fall of 1971, a group of government employees met to set up a hockey league to replace the government team, the Provincials, in the Civil Service league. Leo McCann was one of those employees and served on the executive for a number of years. He played until about the mid 1990s. For a number of years there was an award named after him to recognize contribution to the league. He will always be remembered for the unofficial rule named after him.  You need to score a goal to return to play the next year. Anytime I talked to him, he asked how the league is doing. Leo McCann passed away March 30, 2022, aged 82.

Due to the holiday on Monday, the Mary Brown’s Centre will be closed. The games will be added to the end of the regular schedule.

Due to the impending storm, and in conjunction with Mary Brown’s Centre, we have decided to cancel hockey this evening. Also, we will be reducing our regular season from 33 games, down to 30 games. This will allow us to complete our season and full playoffs by May 15th. Details about second half round fees will be communicated by your team reps soon.

Our regular season will resume on February 13th. All postponed games have been rescheduled, and added to the website. We are cautiously optimistic that we can complete all of these games, plus the full playoff schedule by May 15th.

Due to the current level 4 covid status, all games up to and including February 6th have been postponed. We are hopeful that these games can be made up later in the season. Further updates will be provided for games after Febbruary 6th , when guidance is provided by public health.

The NAPE Blackhorse Hockey League has had to postpone games on January 2nd and 3rd. We will provide further updates about future games in the coming days.

The second half of the regular season schedule is not posted to the website.
