QVHL and HHL complete full merge

2022-23 will see the official merge of the Highway Hockey League and the Qu'Appelle Valley Hockey League. Last season we continued to operate separately despite having a full interlock schedule. It only makes sense with the cost of trying to run a league and the fact that in the HHL case there are still two teams on leave. There will be one website and that will be www.qvhhl,ca

Broncs force game four in Lumsden on Sunday

This type of score doesn't happen often in our league...nor does it happen in the NHL often but the fact is it happens.  The Calgary Flames scored nine goals tonight in their victory over the Oilers...well so did the Balcarres Broncs in their game tonight. The Broncs led 5-4 after one period and were down 8-6 after two periods. In the the third period Brayden Frank scored and then  Justin Bernhardt scored short handed with under two minutes to play. Cory Kosloski scored their ninth goal in overtime to win the game 9-8 and to force a game four in Lumsden on Sunday at 6:00 p.m.

The Broncs would continue to put pressure on the Monarchs throughout the first ten minutes of the game but could not score. The Monarchs picked things up with nine minutes left in the period on a goal from Nolan Reid. Just over a minute later Kevin DuFour would score and the period ended 2-1 with the Broncs holding a 16-14 shot advantage.
