They are members of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League, a part of the Canadian Junior Hockey League and Hockey Canada. The team was owned by the Opaskwayak Cree Nation, pending a sale to local business-people. HistoryThe Blizzard were founded in 1996 by the Opaskwayak Cree Nation near The Pas, Manitoba. The team was a year in the making with the Cree Nation's goal to enter the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL). Their hockey development and recreation department spent many months prior getting the community members on board through community meetings and house to house visits. Boh Kubrakovich, Jim Smith and Nathan McGillivary spent time working with the SJHL prior to entering the current league, the Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL). The Blizzard name and jersey was styled after the Utica Blizzard of the Colonial Hockey League. It was through a Blizzard like snow storm that the new directors of the team made it to Winnipeg to announce the team. During the press conference the directors decided to call the team the Opaskwayak Blizzard. Founding directors were James Smith, Chief Frances Flett, Gordon Lathlin, Gilbert Lathlin, Nathan McGillivary and recreation director/director of hockey Boh Kubrakovich. They selected Gardiner MacDougall as their first head coach and director of hockey. Leonard Strandberg was then hired as the general manager in 1996. From the 1998–99 season until 2002–03, the Blizzard became the second team in MJHL history and the first team in over sixty years to win five straight Turnbull Cups as MJHL playoff champions. In the ANAVET Cup regional tournament, in succession, the Blizzard lost to the SJHL's Estevan Bruins in 1999, to the Battlefords North Stars in 2000, the Weyburn Red Wings in 2001, defeated the Kindersley Klippers in 2002, and then lost in 2003 to the Humboldt Broncos. When they won the Anavet Cup in 2002, it earned them the right to compete in the 2002 Royal Bank Cup. They finished the junior A national championship round-robin with a 2–2 record. In the semi-final, they defeated the British Columbia Hockey League's Chilliwack Chiefs 4–3, but lost in the national final to the Halifax Exports 3–1. Blizzard games are broadcast on local radio station CJAR 102.9 (CJAR-FM) and can also be heard online at www.thepasonline.com. Marty Martinson is the current play-by-play announcer.{{when|date=July 2018}} Past announcers include Kurtis "Huddy" Hudson, Evan Hammond, Kris Menard, Jamie Smaller and Bradley Karp.{{citation needed|date=December 2016}} In December 2016, the Opaskwayak Cree Nation council declared its intention to cease the team's operations following the 2016–17 season. The MJHL is currently exploring other options to save the franchise, which would include finding a new ownership group.[1] The Blizzards' board of directors were later granted permission to operate the team for another season, but without funding from the band council.[2] List of championships
