Hockey Manitoba has spoken, girls seeking to play Midget AAA hockey in the Parkland will have to seek it elsewhere.
 
Over the weekend a vote was held whether or not to allow the Parkland to have a team in the Midget AAA league, which was voted against and passed.
 
Parkland Minor Hockey Association Director of Female Hockey Phil Fafard says the decision is disappointing, but could be changed in the future.
 
The Parkland has been divided as follows:
- Players living north of highway 5 would now be part of the Norman region playing out of Thompson
- Players living south of highway 5 would become part of the Yellowhead region and play in Shoal Lake
- Players on the east side of the highway south of Ste. Rose would play for Central Plains out of Portage
 
Hockey Manitoba President Bill Whitehead says that players always have the option to appeal any decision to Hockey Manitoba if they are unhappy. 
 
On this Friday's Kings One Hour Power Play Show from 4:00-5:00pm CKDM Sports Director Dane Nichol will speak with Fafard and Whitehead, exploring each perspective around the decision. 

 

A Parkland hockey player is in the spotlight at this week's Recycle Everywhere MJHL Player of the Week. 

Tyler Jubenvill of Gilbert Plains had this week's standout performance. The 17-year-old Winkler Flyers defenseman recorded three goals and three assists in six games on the Flyers blueline. 

Runners-up this week are Portage's James McIsaac and Wayway's Brandon Stanley.

The Dauphin Clippers were crowned 2nd Division Champions at the John Taylor Piper Classic tournament in Winnipeg this weekend with a 4-2 win over the Garden City Gophers.

The Clippers opened the tournament with a 6-1 loss to the Dakota Lancers, but were able to recover after the loss winning the rest of their way to the 2nd Div. final.

Saturday the Clippers finished second in their pool ending the round robin with a 4-3 shootout win over the Oak Park Raiders. 

Later that day they met with the River East Kodiaks in their first playoff game where the Clippers needed extra time for the win once again, downing the Kodiaks in OT 2-1.

That paved the way for Sunday's appearance in the final against Garden City, where the Clippers win placed them 5th out of 12 teams. 

 

The Dauphin Kings earned perhaps their most dominant win of the season Friday with a 6-0 thromping of the Neepawa Natives. 

Brandon Holtby earned his second shutout of 2017 and the second of his Junior A career with a 35 save performance. The Kings have yet to allow a goal against at Credit Union Place in 2017. Holtby was helped out by special teams. The Kings killed off two 5-on-3 scenarios, and also an incredibly rare full 9 minute power play.

Keaton Leininger had a hat trick, his second in a week after recording one on Sunday in Portage. Riese Gaber has assisted on 5 of those 6 Leininger goals. 

Darren Gisti, Grady Hobbs, and Ian Briscoe also scored for the Kings in the win. 

The Kings power play was firing on all cylinders, making good on 4 of their 6 opportunities. 

The Kings now have some time off to enjoy with family at tomorrow's Parent and Pride Gala before hosting OCN Tuesday.
