Manitoba’s newest MJHL team, the Niverville Nighthawks, is gearing up for its first season. Although there are many moving parts to getting the team ready to hit the ice, right now one of the top priorities is finding billet homes for all the players.

After an impressive season, the U13 AA Eastman Selects have come out on top of their league, being named city champs—and they did it with the help of five local players who earlier in their young careers played for the Niverville Clippers.

Aidan Ballance is the next player to sign a letter of commitment with the Niverville Nighthawks. The 2003-born Edmontonian is the first forward to sign with the club, and the third player to be signed from B.C. hockey leagues.

The Niverville Nighthawks has secured another player this past week, with Carter Spirig signing a letter of intent to join the new squad in September. Spirig currently plays for the Canadian Athletic Club U18AAA Canadians.
