The Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League season came to an end on Tuesday with the Nipawin Hawks being crowned league champions 18 days after the deadly bus crash involving the league's Humboldt Broncos. Nipawin downed the Estevan Bruins 2-1 in Game 7 to win the Canalta Cup while wearing green helmets to honour the Broncos. The Broncos were on their way to Nipawin, Sask., for a playoff game against the Hawks on April 6 when their bus collided with a truck on the highway. The Hawks and Bruins came together and held a moment of silence at centre ice before Game 1. The SJHL consulted with the Broncos and the league's board of directors before making the decision to continue the post-season.
