The Saskatchewan Junior Hockey league playoffs will go on.
The 12 members of the league's board of governors unanimously voted to move forward with the playoffs in a conference call on April 12.
“We had a gruelling decision to make with respects on how we can pay tribute and honour the Humboldt Broncos,” said Bill Chow, SJHL President, in a press release.
Chow says the decision was made to continue the playoffs.
“The power of healing is in the game,” the press release quoted the Broncos board as saying.
The series will begin on April 14 in Nipawin, with game two back in Nipawin the following evening.
The league has announced they will be holding a press conference at the Ramada Hotel in Regina on April 12 @ 3 p.m. to provide further details.
“On top of the opportunity for the SJHL to speak further on this topic, there will be few other special announcements made from other organizations.”
The Estevan Bruins have also called a press conference for April 12 where they are expected to announce details surrounding the final.
