The long wait is over!
The High Prairie Regals will play their first game in the NPHL after 2,092 days this Saturday when the defending league champion Spirit River Rangers come to town.
The Regals were accepted back into the NPHL at a league Zoom meeting Sept. 16.
The team’s application to rejoin the NPHL was rejected at the spring meeting the last two years and the outlook was not good to ice a team this season. NPHL bylaws allow for teams to join the league only at the spring meeting; however, the newly-elected Regals executive used an obscure clause in the NPHL constitution and were allowed to submit a late bid.
Game time is 8:30 p.m. at the Sports Palace.
