The Ice Wolves are within the division sponsored by Sherwood, which includes Flin Flon, Melfort, and Nipawin. The Nutrien division consists of Humboldt, Kindersley, Battlefords and Notre Dame, and the Viterra division includes Estevan, Weyburn, Melville and Yorkton. A press release detailing the upcoming season schedule said teams will face each in-division rival eight times, and each out-of-division club four times each.

SJHL Commissioner Kyle McIntyre said, “It is an exciting time for the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. Last season we had incredible parody and competitive balance, exciting playoffs and one of the most memorable league championships in recent memory. We can’t wait for the puck to drop on our upcoming season.”
