After having to reschedule the showcase originally set for February 18th and 19th due to Covid cases the host Fredericton Caps have everything ready to go this weekend.

Games get underway at 11:30 am both Saturday and Sunday with the final game of the day starting at 5:30 pm.  For game details check the schedule on the league website: NBPEIMU18HL.ca 

Unfortunately due to a Covid outbreak with three of the NBPEI Major U18 teams the League showcase February 19 & 20 had to be postponed. The showcase has now been scheduled for March 12 & 13 back in Fredericton at the Willie O'Ree.  The showcase schedule and times will be posted on the league website in the next couple weeks. 

Both the Charlottetown Knights and Kensington Wild will be back in action playing games with the NB Teams after Covid restrictions were relaxed this week in PEI.  The annoucement from the Chief Public Health Office in PEI, Tuesday February 8th permits games to be played starting Thursday February 17th. "This is great news for the league and just in time for PEI teams to be able to participate in the League Showcase, February 19th and 20th at the Willie O'Ree Arena in Fredericton", stated Barry Thompson, League President.  

The League had essentially been shutdown since mid-December with limited icetime and practices.  The four New Brunswick teams were able to resume play February 5th after their restrictions were eased earlier that week.

As a result of the pause in play the League has extended its regular season to the weekend of March 20th afterwhich playoffs will begin in both NB and PEI.
