Strong finish for Broncos, face Hawks in first SJHL playoff round
With a second place finish to cap off the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League’s regular season, the Humboldt Broncos will now face the Nipawin Hawks in their first playoff round.
The Green and Gold wrapped up their 2022-2023 regular SJHL season with their final matchup in March 14 after some ups and downs throughout the year.
Assistant coach Carter Hansen said this is the best showing they could have hoped for with home ice advantage for their first round, and second if they can defeat the Hawks.
“We just played them about three weeks ago, it was a really good matchup. They’ve got a really good forward group, their D played pretty tough in front of their own net, and their goalie can stand on their head at any moment,” Hansen said. “It’s going to be a great series.”
