The Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League has officially approved the relocation of the Notre Dame Hounds to Warman, Saskatchewan, for the 2025–26 season.
The team will rebrand as the Warman Wolverines and it will mark the league’s first presence in the Saskatoon area since the Saskatoon Rage folded in 1999.
The move was dependent on approval from the Warman City Council, along with a successful community drive for season tickets and sponsorships.
With those conditions met, the SJHL Board of Governors gave its final stamp of approval during its annual general meeting on Saturday.
The Notre Dame Hounds, a longtime SJHL franchise since 1987, has developed countless players while balancing strong academic and athletic standards. With the relocation, all player rights and active roster members will transfer to the Warman Wolverines for the upcoming season.
The franchise is being led by local co-founders Cole Kachur and Jonathan Abrametz, who cite Warman’s rapid growth and strong hockey culture as key reasons for bringing a team to the city.
The Wolverines also hold the first overall selections for both the 2009 and 2010 birth years in the upcoming SJHL Draft on Tuesday.
Season ticket packages are now available, including family, regular, and premium club seating options.
