The Habs took a five-year break from the Hanover Tache Junior Hockey League after the 2013-14 season. La Broquerie rejoined the league in 2019-2020 and then took another leave of absence after the 2020-21 campaign was cancelled due to the pandemic just one week into the season. The Habs won the HTJHL championship in 1996, 1997, 2000, 2002 & 2003.

The Winnipeg Goldeyes were held to just four hits and lost 5-2 to the Kane County Cougars. Dayson Croes and Max Murphy had two hits each and scored a run for the Fish who have the day off. Winnipeg will begin a nine-game homestand this weekend when they face the Sioux Falls Canaries on Friday at Blue Cross Park. 


The Winnipeg Blue Bombers face the RedBlacks tonight (6:30 p.m.) in Ottawa. Running back Brady Oliveira, who ran for 38 yards in the Bombers season opening 27-12 loss to the Montreal Alouettes last Thursday, is not on Winnipeg's roster. Last year's leading rusher suffered a knee injury in the home-opener against the Grey Cup champions and is on the one-game injured list. Johnny Augustine will get the start at running back. Wide receiver Kenny Lawler broke his arm in week one and has been placed on the six-game injured list. Lawler’s spot will be taken by Keric Wheatfall.
