The
End of An Era
1967 to 2012
It's
hard to believe that an MJHL franchise that just finished
its 45th season is moving on to play in Virden. Over 700 players
have worn the Fighting Saint logo with pride and it's a distressing
day for hockey in Winnipeg to see that has ended. Sadly the
sale of the Saints leaves Winnipeg players with one less place
to play at home in front of their family and friends.
Hopefully
someday the Saints can rise again, much like the Jets this
season, and another group of players will don the Saints jersey.
Good
luck to all the players who are moving onto the Virden franchise
and to all those upcoming prospects who were once Saints.
To
all the alumni out there, if you have a story you'd like to
share about your time with the Saints, send it to me at ksteen@mymts.net.
I'll post any stories I receive as I plan to keep www.winnipegsaints.ca
up and running.
