After capturing a pivotal Game 5 win on Tuesday, the OCN Storm are just one step closer to becoming back-to-back KJHL champions. The Game 5 final was 9–6.

 

The Storm will be in Norway House tonight, and if a Game 7 is necessary, it will be played this Saturday at the GLMC. Should the Storm pick up a win tonight, they will become one of just seven teams to ever win multiple championships in back-to-back seasons.

After dropping both games against Norway House this past weekend, the championship series between the OCN Storm and the Northstars just got a whole lot more interesting. Game five will be happening tonight at the GLMC, with puck drop slated for 7:30 p.m.

After this past weekend of play, the Turnbull Cup stage is set and will see the Virden Oil Capitals and the Niverville Nighthawks duke it out in a seven-game series. The Nighthawks were able to get past Waywayseecappo in five games, whereas it took Virden six games to defeat Steinbach. Both teams will be looking to hoist the coveted trophy for the first time in their respective franchise histories.

Virden made the finals for the first time back in 2018 but fell to Steinbach in six games. Niverville, meanwhile, will be making their championship debut once the series kicks off. The official postseason finale schedule is expected to be released sometime this week.

The OCN Storm’s championship series against the Norway House Northstars kicks off tomorrow at the GLMC, with puck drop set for 7:30 p.m. The Storm have a chance to not only go back-to-back, but to do so for the first time in the franchise’s history.

The championship series promises to be must-see hockey and will truly feature a best-on-best matchup. All postseason games are free to attend here at home.
