Mar 7, 2025 | 6:48 PM

The Melfort Mustangs will welcome the Nipawin Hawks to the Northern Lights Palace on Friday night for their eighth and final meeting of the season.

Melfort is 6 and 1 against the Hawks this season, outscoring them 27-13.

The Mustangs enter the contest on a 12-game point streak, while Nipawin has won seven of their last 10, including their past two.

Tonight’s contest begins a busy weekend schedule for the Stangs, as they will host their year-end awards banquet Saturday night, before hosting the La Ronge Ice Wolves for a Sunday matinee.

The Blue and Green are firmly in first place in the SJHL standings, with a 12-point lead on the Flin Flon Bombers with just five games to go.
