The Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL) Board of Governors have approved new ownership of the The Blizzard Junior A hockey club.

The MJHL is announcing, effective immediately, the transfer of the team to a new ownership group of local residents, Rob and Bonnie White. The new owners are excited to get to work, supporting and investing in a great franchise with a long and celebrated history.

Players, fans, partners, The Pas, Opaskwayak, and the wider northern community can expect a group committed to ensure that MJHL Junior A Hockey continues to have a home in northern Manitoba.

The MJHL Board of Governors extend their heartfelt appreciation to previous owners, Mr. Usman Tahir and Mr. Salman Safdar for their commitment to the MJHL, the Blizzard organization, the surrounding region and young hockey players pursuing excellence in sport.
