The first win of 2025, the first win for Dazza Mitchell’s Humboldt Broncos tenure, and most importantly, a confidence building win as the Broncos defeated the Hounds 4-3 in overtime to snap a three-game losing streak.

The game consisted of three waves.

No New Year’s celebration nor resolution of wins for the Humboldt Broncos to start 2025.

The Kindersley Klippers spoiled the party in the first game back from the holiday break defeating the Broncos 4-3 in overtime at the Elgar Petersen Arena on Saturday.

It’s been 1140 days since the Broncos last won in the confines of Affinity Place in Estevan. Well, you can leave all that in the past, as well as a four-game losing streak in 2024.

The Broncos put forth their best 60-minite effort in recent memory on the third game in a three day stretch to defeat the Bruins 5-2 on Saturday night.

A two game road series for the Broncos ended in a split decision this past weekend.

The Humboldt Broncos travelled to Melville to take on the Millionaires on Friday, before wrapping up their season series with the Mustangs in Melfort on Saturday.

Cashing in at The Bank

The Melville Millionaires welcomed the Broncos, who were on a four-game wining streak at the time, into ‘The Bank’ on Friday night, where the green and gold flexed their January muscles en route to a 6-3 victory.

There’s no debating the Broncos were the better team on Wednesday night, but thanks to a hot goaltender and two costly turnovers, it wasn’t the way the cookie crumbled on the scoreboard.

For the fifth and final time this season, the Humboldt Broncos and La Ronge Ice Wolves took to the ice, with Humboldt winning three of the previous four. The Broncos controlled most of the game, outshooting the Wolves 33-21. However, La Ronge capitalized on their few chances while riding the hot hand of goalie, Dawson Smith enroute to a 3-1 victory.

The Humboldt Broncos cashed in on two points in their lone game of the weekend on Friday night.

Taking on the Melville Millionaires for the second time this season, the Broncos, backed by goalie Ben Motew, came away with a 4-1 victory.

Cage Newans opened the scoring with his 11th goal of the season, off a beautiful centering pass from Carsten Kayter for the 16-year-olds 20th point this year to put him among the league leaders in points by a defenseman.

The Humboldt Broncos kept their season hopes alive in a thrilling 3-2 overtime victory over the Flin Flon Bombers on Saturday night in Game 4.

In fitting fashion, it was the Captain, Kade Olsen who proved to be the hero, scoring the game-winner, and forcing Game 5. The victory cuts the Bombers' semi-final series lead to 3-1.

The Broncos fell into a daunting 3-0 deficit in the series following another one-goal loss in Game 3 on Friday. For the Broncos to stave off elimination, they now had to win four straight games against a talented and confident Bombers team.

The Humboldt Broncos dropped their opening pair of games in the SJHL semi-finals against the Flin Flon Bombers. 

The Broncos advanced to the second round of the SJHL playoffs after defeating the La Ronge Ice Wolves in 6 games. Meanwhile, the Bombers had similar success, taking care of the Battlefords North Stars in 6 games.

In game one, the Bombers special teams were the dictating factor in their ability to pull away with the victory.
