The Estevan Bruins are a proud member of the 12-team Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL). Our club plays out of beautiful Affinity Place in Estevan, which has a capacity of 2,500 fans (plus additional standing room) and has seen sell-outs during recent playoff runs, including the 2022 SJHL Championship!
The club has also played host to the 2022 Centennial Cup, hosting 10 CJHL champions from across Canada in the National Championship. Estevan also hosted the 2016 Western Canada Cup.
The arena is unmatched compared to all other SJHL arenas and is widely considered one of the top Junior A hockey arenas in all of Canada featuring a new state-of-the-art score clock installed in 2023. Additional features include a top-of-the-line dressing room, players lounge & video training room, an on-site workout facility, squash courts, swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, library, multi-purpose gym facility, and a secondary ice surface (Power Dodge Ice Centre).
The SJHL regular season consists of 56 games. League playoffs begin in March, with the top eight teams qualifying, and playoffs extend to the end of April. The league champion wins the Canterra Seeds Cup and advances to the Centennial Cup.
The Bruins are a publicly-owned team with a rich history dating back to 1957. The club is led by a volunteer Board of Directors, consisting of a Team President and six other executive members.
The office staff includes Head Coach and General Manager, Drew Kocur; Assistant Coaches Tucker Neuberger and Aren Miller; Athletic Therapist, Kyra Widenmaier; Director of Operations and Voice of the Bruins, Marty Martinson, and Office Administrator, Tannis Harrison. Several volunteers are also relied upon throughout the season and the Estevan Bruins are proud to have one of the most dedicated and passionate volunteer bases in the SJHL.
Families and friends can watch or listen to all Estevan Bruins’ games from anywhere in the world on FloHockey (a subscription service partnering with the SJHL) and for free on the Bruins YouTube Livestream. Voice of the Bruins, Marty Martinson will have your call for all 56 regular season games and additional playoff games.
The City of Estevan (population 12,000) is located in the southeast corner in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada. The city has most if not all amenities of a larger center, with a small-town feel and is very easy to get around all areas of the city in a short amount of time.
There is a strong connection between the team and the community, with a passionate fan base and supportive following for over 60 years. Estevan is approximately a 2-hour drive from the two closest international airports in Regina, Saskatchewan and Minot, North Dakota, a 5-hour drive from Winnipeg, Manitoba, and just minutes away from the Canada/U.S.A. border.
