Hello Hockey Fans!
Welcome to the new Strike Group North West Junior Hockey League website!
Our 2026-2027 season is just around the corner and we look forward to an exciting season. The NWJHL regular season schedule is posted above, each team playing 40 games commencing on September 18, 2026 and concluding on February 7, 2027
After an exciting 2025-2026 NWJHL season the La Crete Lumber Barons successfully won the NWJHL Championship. This earned them a spot at the Junior B Provincial Championship Tournament which was held in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan. At the conclusion of the tournament the Lumber Barons were crowned the 2026 Alberta Provincial Champions.
This year the league is excited to welcome the Slave Lake Wolves back into the league. Their organization has put together a very enthusiastic board of directors, who have been busy hiring coaching and support staff, reaching out to the community for sponsorship and support as well as all other day to day operations.
The Wolves have announced the hiring of Head Coach Nathan Smith, as well as their Associate Coaches Colter Tkach and Blake Carpenter. Leading the team is General Manager Calvin Beauchamp.
The Dawson Creek Kodiaks this year will have a new look behind the bench as Chad Sutton takes on the role as General Manager and Coach, after longtime NWJHL Coach and General Manager Colby Wagar moved onto a new role with the Quesnel River Rush Hockey Club.
