WINNIPEG, MB – Hockey Manitoba is pleased to announce the start of the 2022 Hockey Manitoba Provincials presented by Cargill Ltd. this weekend.

Hockey Manitoba is also pleased to contribute to the numerous rural hosts benefiting from the tremendous support and business injected by local media, participants, parents and community involvement to ensure a positive and memorable experience for all.

Bert Dow, President of Hockey Manitoba, expressed his enthusiasm for the start of the Provincials. “Growing up as a young player, Provincials were always a special time and certainly one of the highlights of the hockey season. This year, the 2022 Hockey Manitoba Provincials are especially exciting after a two-year hiatus due to COVID-19. Congratulations to all the players, coaches and officials, and remember to take time to enjoy the experience. A special thank you to our presenting sponsor, Cargill Ltd., and to all host communities, volunteers, and Minor Hockey Associations. Best of luck to all participants!”
