A massive GAME 6 happens Wednesday night @ CRRC!
Mar 24, 2025

Wednesday night, the series shifts to Niverville for Game 6 of the HTJHL Championship!

The Clippers lead the Best of 7 series 3-2 following Springfield's huge win in front of a packed house in Oakbank on Saturday night to fend off elimination on home ice! In Game 5, Xtremes' Sass opened the scoring with a mere 7 seconds left in the opening frame- setting up a momentum shift for the night. Chambers added on for Springfield who held a 2-1 lead heading to the 3rd. The insurance marker came with just over 6 minutes remaining in the third when Jette got through defenders and Niverville player collided with their own goaltender to allow Jette to net the 3-1 marker. An empty net goal to solidify the victory sending this series back to Niverville for Game 6, in what's expected to be a very large crowd at the CRRC on Wednesday night- 

Will the Clippers win their first HTJHL championship in 31 years or will the Xtreme force a deciding Game 7 on home ice Saturday night in an attempt to win their 2nd Championship in franchise history, 1st in 8 years! This series has been a very competitive one & back & forth they go!! 

Make sure you attend Wednesday night to find out!!

The HTJHL Division Finals are set! The Springfield Xtreme advance to face the Steinbach Huskies in the East Division Final, following a sweep of the Aces, while the Clippers punched their ticket to the West Division Final with a 4-2 victory in Game 3 vs Red River on Thursday night.

The Swarm went 0-4 against Niverville this season but as we all know- the playoffs are a different beast! This series promises to be high intensity & physical. This is also Macdonald's first appearance in an HTJHL semi final in the teams' short history- Congratulations to the Swarm in doing so! They feel like they aren't done yet & will battle all the way til the end! The Clippers, following their own sweep of the Bugs', has their eyes set on a HTJHL Championship final. This series will be rocking from the get go!

The Huskies are coming off a hard fought battle with Mitchell. The Mustangs opportunity came in Game 1 in Steinbach, while holding large leads in the game, 6-2 into the third period- Steinbach awoke & never looked back- The Springfield Xtreme- the leagues top team this season- were true to form in their Division Semi Final against Ste Anne, only giving up one goal, which was in 3rd period of Game 3, completing the sweep of the Aces. 

Congratulations to both Ste Anne & Mitchell on great first seasons back in the HTJHL loop! Great young talent & the league & its viewers look forward to many years of great action out of those 2 communities!

 

The eyes are now on the HTJHL Division Finals! Schedules to be determined & finalized at this point but be sure to check back soon & catch some great HTJHL playoff hockey in your areas!
