SJHL Board of Governors conditionally approve the relocation of the Notre Dame Hounds to Warman for 2025/26 season

 The 2024/25 Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League could be the last for the Notre Dame Hounds. 

The SJHL Board of Governors has conditionally approved the relocation of the Hounds to the community of Warman for the 2025-2026 season.

SJHL Commissioner Kyle McIntyre said in a release thanking the Hounds for the 38 years of developing players and producing great hockey in Wilcox.

“It is bittersweet having a historical program like the Notre Dame Junior A Hounds leave the SJHL. We understand that there is a new and exciting vision for Notre Dame. We appreciate the Board’s focus on player well-being and experience and are excited about the possibility of adding a strong and progressive new leadership group to our league in Saskatchewan’s fastest growing city.” 

The relocation is contingent upon approval by Warman City Council and a successful season ticket and corporate sponsorship drive in the community.

“Our goal is to partner with the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League to offer players an excellent experience and opportunity to showcase their talents, within a community deeply invested in their success while instilling valuable life skills beyond hockey,” said Warman CoFounders Cole Kachur and Jonathan Abrametz. 

Final league approval will take place at the league’s AGM in June.
