The Mount Pearl Junior Blades faced off against the Avalon Junior Celtics on February 15, 2026, in a key matchup for the St. John’s Junior Hockey League (SJJHL). The blades won in a 4-2 victory. The victory helps the Blades maintain their strong position in the league standings as the regular season reaches its final weeks.
The Blades have a long history of success in the community and have won six league championships over the years, including their most recent Taylor Cup titles. This recent performance provides the team with significant momentum as they prepare for the postseason tournament in March.
The Celtics, who play their home games at the DF Barnes Arena in St. John’s, are now focusing on improving their defensive play for the rest of the month. In the SJJHL, all eight teams typically move on to compete for the championship title once the regular season concludes.
