There will be senior men’s hockey in the Town of MacGregor this winter as the Tiger Hills Hockey League (THHL) has approved a new expansion team. The board of governors agreed to the creation of the team on Monday, Sept. 12, during its semi-annual meeting. The yet unnamed club will begin play in the 2016-17 THHL season.
But while one community joins the Tiger Hills Hockey League fraternity, another is stepping away, as a league source has indicated that the Glenboro Nordics have requested a one year hiatus. With these transactions, the number of clubs participating in the 2016-2017 season will remain at 13. The odd number of teams within the league will facilitate an uneven schedule, with clubs in the eastern division likely playing one additional regular season game.
As for the upcoming regular season, formulation of the league schedule is underway and be announced within the next few weeks. The Tiger Hills Hockey League season will begin in late October.
