The Niverville Nighthawks and Waywayseecappo Wolverines will kick off Game 1 of their MJHL semifinal series this Thursday night at the CRRC, with both teams making their first-ever appearance in second-round playoff action.

For the first time in franchise history, the Niverville Nighthawks are moving on to the second round of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League playoffs.

It was a game that students of Niverville High School won’t soon forget, with their beloved Panthers hockey team taking on the RCMP Muskrats. The friendly challenge, held at the CRRC on March 26, ended in an 8–5 win for the Muskrats.

Dawson Zeller scored both goals and Austin Dubinsky turned aside 24 shots as the Niverville Nighthawks edged the Winkler Flyers 2–1 on Monday night in Winkler to take a 2–0 series lead. The win builds on Niverville’s dominant 8–2 victory in Game 1 on Saturday.

The Niverville Nighthawks opened their playoff run in emphatic fashion Saturday night, cruising to an 8–2 victory over the Winkler Flyers in front of a sold-out crowd at the CRRC.

The Niverville Nighthawks held their annual fundraising gala on March 14, and it was a resounding success. The event was a sellout, with a waiting list and more than 350 people in attendance. Centred around the theme “All Night Long,” the evening delivered a celebratory atmosphere and overwhelming show of community support.
