The Estevan Bruins turned back the clock to 1999 on Friday when they hoisted the Canalta Cup as SJHL champions.
The Bruins, who finished atop the 2021-22 regular-season standings with 91 points, defeated the Flin Flon Bombers 2-0 on home ice to win Game 7 and capture the league title for the first time in 23 seasons.
The championship is Estevan’s third in the SJHL. In addition to ’99, the Bruins also won it all in 1985.
Estevan won its first-round playoff series 4-1 over the Notre Dame Hounds and followed that up with a four-game sweep in Round 2 over the Yorkton Terriers.
