Humboldt Broncos

The puck has dropped on the 2025-26 Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) season for the Humboldt Broncos 

Last weekend, the Broncos hit the ice for the first time as a squad as they took part in their annual fall camp.  

In the final scrimmage, Team Green came from behind to win the 2025 Elgar Petersen Cup, defeating Team Gold 4-3.  

The Humboldt Broncos dropped their second straight preseason game, losing 3-1 to the Kindersley Klippers on Tuesday night. 

All three of the Klippers goals came within the first three minutes of each period.

In the first, Pryce Thiessen scored 1:02 in the game.

Malaki Martin made it 2-0 with a goal 2:22 into the second period. 

Brady Simpson finished off the Kindersley scoring 2:49 into the third period. 

90 seconds later, the Broncos got their lone goal courtesy of Carson Croteau.

It was a quick sprint for the Humboldt Broncos as they opened training camp on the weekend with their fall camp. 

After Friday night’s Green and Gold, the top 40 players in camp battled for the Elgar Petersen Cup on Saturday between the Green and Gold squads.  

The future of the Humboldt Broncos was on display in their first preseason game on Sunday night in Melville as the Millionaires beat the Broncos 4-3 in a shootout.

Trailing 2-0 early in the second period, Boston Schmidt put the Broncos on the scoreboard with the team's first goal of the preseason.

Melville would later extend their lead to 3-1. 

With less than a second remaining in the middle frame, Gabriel Kaminski scored to cut the green and gold deficit back to one heading into the final twenty minutes.

The only ice you will find on this scorching Labour Day long weekend is either inside of a cold drink or at the hockey rink. 

That’s definitely the case in the province, as the 2025-26 Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) season gets underway with training camps beginning on the weekend including here in Humboldt.  

The Humboldt Broncos will begin their preparations for the upcoming season on Friday with fall camp. 

The Humboldt Broncos are excited to announce the signing of forward Jacob Kulas in preparation for the upcoming 2025–26 season.

Kulas from Stow, Massachusetts is a 6’0″, 216 lb left-shooting forward whose combination of size and versatility make him a valuable addition to the lineup. He recently played for the Campbell River Storm in the VIJHL, where he’s demonstrated consistent offensive output. Over his last five games, Kulas contributed 2 goals and 3 assists, posting 5 points, and during his last ten games, he notched 12 points (3 goals, 9 assists).

The Humboldt Broncos have released the schedule for their upcoming fall camp.  

On Friday August 29, the roster will be split into squads with practice at 10:00 am & 11:30 am 

That's followed by the Green and Gold game at 6:00 pm. 

The next day, after a morning practice at 10, the Elgar Petersen Cup will be on the line featuring the top 40 players remaining. 

Before she comes to Humboldt at the end of the month as an instructor for the Humboldt Broncos Girls Hockey Camp, Alida Korte will be competing on an international stage. 

Korte was one of the 25 players selected to represent Canada at the 2025 U18 series against the United States.  

The two teams will meet in a three game series at the Lake Placid Olympic Centre from August 13-16.  

Before the Humboldt Broncos and the rest of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) drop the puck on the 2025-26 regular season, they will work off the summer rust in the preseason. 

On Monday, the SJHL announced the 2025 Preseason schedule 

The Broncos will play in seven exhibition games in total, with four on the road and three at the Elgar Petersen Arena.  

Former Humboldt Bronco Matthew Perkins has been invited to participate in the Vancouver Canucks Development Camp for the second straight season. 

The camp began on Monday and will end on Thursday. 

Perkins was selected by the Canucks in the fourth round (119th overall) of the 2023 NHL Draft.
