The Peguis Juniors hockey team will miss the upcoming playoffs after finishing the regular season in third place in the Keystone Junior Hockey League. The team, located in Peguis First Nation, Manitoba, ended the 2025-2026 season with 32 points, but the current league format only allows the top two teams to move on to the championship round.
According to the Keystone Junior Hockey League, the Juniors finished with 15 wins, 17 losses, and two overtime losses. The OCN Storm took the top spot in the standings, followed by the Norway House North Stars, with both teams now preparing to face each other starting April 3, 2026.
This result is an unusual turn for the Peguis Juniors, a team that has historically dominated the league. Since starting in 1994, the team has earned 10 league championships and most recently won three titles in a row between 2022 and 2024.
For the people of Peguis First Nation, the end to the season means there will be no spring hockey at the Peguis Multiplex. The championship series will instead be played at the Gordon Lathlin Memorial Centre and the Norway House Kinosao Sipi Recreation Centre, with the final games expected to wrap up by April 17, 2026.
