The Stonewall Jets are kicking off their playoff series in the Manitoba Major Junior Hockey League this week in Stonewall, Manitoba. The team faces the River East Royal Knights in a best-of-seven series to determine who moves forward in the quest for the league title.

The first game takes place at the Veterans Memorial Sports Complex in Stonewall at 8:00 PM on March 13, 2026. Fans can then follow the team to Winnipeg for the second game of the series on March 15, 2026, with the puck dropping at 3:30 PM at the Royal Knights’ home ice.

This playoff run is a major event for the town, drawing residents to the arena and requiring help from many local volunteers. The team is looking to repeat the success of the 2015-2016 season, which marks the last time the Jets won the league championship.

General Manager Liam Wheddon and Head Coach Pat Power are leading the team into this critical part of the year. The coaching staff also includes assistant coaches Brent Murray and Brayden Kohlman as the squad prepares for these high-stakes games.
