The Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) playoffs will continue, with game one scheduled for Saturday.
The league held a conference call Wednesday afternoon with each of the 12 teams in the league and voted to hold the Canalta Cup rather than end the current season.
“We had a gruelling decision to make with respects on how we can pay tribute and honour the Humboldt Broncos,” SJHL President Bill Chow said in a release. “On behalf of the Board of Governors, this intensive decision has been made and that decision is to carry through and finish off the 2017-2018 season.”
“The league will play hockey.”
The complete schedule is as follows:
Game 1: Sat. April 14 @ Nipawin 7:30 p.m.
Game 2: Sun. April 15 @ Nipawin 7:30 p.m.
Game 3: Tues. April 17 @ Estevan 7:30 p.m.
Game 4: Wed. April 18 @ Estevan 7:30 p.m.
Game 5: Fri. April 20 @ Nipawin 7:30 p.m.
Game 6: Sun. April 22 @ Estevan 7:30 p.m.

A press conference is scheduled for Thursday in Regina for more special announcements from the SJHL and other hockey organizations.
