The Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League season came to an end last night with the Nipawin Hawks being crowned league champions - 18 days after the deadly bus crash involving the league's Humboldt Broncos.

Nipawin downed the Estevan Bruins to win the Canalta Cup while wearing green helmets to honour the Broncos.

Both teams wore Humboldt Broncos ribbons on their jerseys throughout the series.

The Hawks now move on to play the MJHL's Steinbach Pistons in the Anavet Cup.
