The Niverville Nighthawks have won a remarkable nine games in a row following a win over the visiting Winkler Flyers at the CRRC.

Both teams entered the matchup with momentum on their side, with Winkler having won four of their last five contests. The Flyers, however, hadn’t played since October 26.

Farming was Ken Krahn’s lifelong passion. From the time he was a young child, though, hockey took a close second.

The Niverville Nighthawks proved once again why they sit atop the Manitoba Junior Hockey League standings, edging the Dauphin Kings 2–1 on Sunday afternoon at the CRRC in front of nearly 600 boisterous fans.

The Niverville Nighthawks continued their impressive run, handing the Selkirk Steelers a 4–1 loss in a marquee matchup between the top two teams in the MJHL’s East Division. The Nighthawks extended their winning streak to six games and moved within a single point of first place in the standings.

For the second straight night, the Niverville Nighthawks got the better of the Steinbach Pistons—and for the second straight night, it was a tight, hard-fought affair. Led by a two-goal performance from forward Kole Mears, the Nighthawks skated to a 5–4 win, moving into sole possession of second place in the East Division standings.

Two of the MJHL’s top teams went head-to-head Friday night. This opener of a two-game home-and-home series between the Niverville Nighthawks and Steinbach Pistons lived up to the hype.
