It was a historic night for the Niverville Nighthawks, who beat the Virden Oil Capitals 6–2 on the road to capture their very first Turnbull Cup in franchise history. More details to follow.

From the very beginning of the 2025-26 season, the Nighthawks have been a dominant force in the MJHL, keeping a strangehold on first place in the standings. Not only were the Nighthawks sitting atop the MJHL, they were consistently ranked among the top Junior A teams in the country.

Niverville’s season isn’t quite over yet. Now that they’ve secured the Turnbull Cup, they officially become the MJHL’s representatives at the Centennial Cup, a 10-day collision of the top teams of the entire CJHL. This year’s Centennial Cup takes place in Summerside, PEI and kicks off on May 7.
