The Esterhazy Senior Flyers have a rich history of being one of the strongest hockey teams in all of Saskatchewan. The hockey club has had numerous league championships and have appeared in the provincial championship game. That was all before the pandemic however. This year they need your help in order to have a team.
The hockey club is in desperate need of a manager as well as players. The role of the manager is a lot of work and takes up a large amount of time. “You are organizing literally everything!” Flyers Head Coach Mike Kaczmar explains. “Finding players, paying the refs, organizing fundraisers, player forms, etc.” Dennis Blum and Don Halyk are willing to help the new manager. If you or someone you know is interested in managing the Flyers contact Dennis Blum 1-306-745-8532 or Don Halyk 1-306-745-6935.
Like most communities in Saskatchewan the rink is the hub of activity and this is no different in Esterhazy. The senior Flyers are one of the larger draws to the Dana Antal Centennial Arena. There are many benefits that come from being a Flyer and playing in Esterhazy. Kaczmar describes Esterhazy as being a good community with good fan support and he believes that the players are treated well.
Prior to the pandemic the Flyers competed in the now defunct Triangle Hockey League. When the Saskatchewan East Hockey League began last fall the Flyers played a handful of games before Covid-19 shut down the league’s inaugural season. Should the Flyers be able to find players and a manager they would return to the SEHL but time is running out.
