Teams from across Manitoba gathered in Arborg March 6–8 as the Gimli Vikings U15C team hosted the 2026 Hockey Manitoba U15C Co-Ed Provincials, sponsored by Cargill Ltd.
The Gimli Vikings captured the consolation title in dramatic fashion, defeating the Cross Lake Islanders 8–7 in overtime after rallying from a 4–0 deficit.
St. Eustache claimed the provincial championship with a 3–2 overtime victory over Reston in the gold-medal game, while the Roblin Stars edged Hamiota 3–2 to secure the bronze medal.
Teams competing at the tournament included St. Eustache, Steinbach, Altona, Reston, Brandon, Roblin, Hamiota, Cross Lake and host Gimli.
Opening ceremonies featured guest speaker Kay Bugg, a Cargill representative from Reston, ceremonial puck drop by Chantel Finnbogason and a performance of O Canada by Kiah Bobbee. Members of the Arborg Falcons carried the flags representing the nine competing teams during the ceremony.
As part of the festivities, a coach from each team also took part in a puck-shooting challenge, attempting to land their shot closest to a pylon at centre ice. The winning coach earned a pizza party for their team.
