The Selkirk Fishermen are a junior "B" ice hockey team based in Selkirk, Manitoba. They are members of the Capital Region Junior Hockey League (CRJHL). The franchise was founded in 1917.
The Fishermen won the Abbott Cup in 1920, making them the Junior Champion for Western Canada and earning a playoff against the George Richardson Memorial Trophy winning Eastern Champion for the Memorial Cup. The Fishermen lost the Memorial Cup competition against the Toronto Canoe Club Paddlers.
History
Since 1978, the Fishermen have won a province-leading 11 Baldy Northcott Trophy championships as Manitoba Junior B champions.
In 1983, the Fishermen made history in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, by defeating the Saskatoon Wesleys of the North Saskatchewan Junior B Hockey League to win the inaugural Keystone Cup championship. To this day, they are one of only two champions to have ever come out of Manitoba.[when?]
The team was a member of the Keystone Junior Hockey League until 2018. For the 2018-19 season the Fishermen were one of five teams that departed the Keystone Junior Hockey League and established the Capital Region Junior Hockey League.[1] In the initial season the Fishermen became the first league and playoff champions.
