Your decision on where you will play for the next 1-4 years of your career will be a very crucial one for you as a player and as a person.   We have listed below some of the considerations to be mindful of and some strong reasons the Blizzard could be the right choice for you.

Education
     The community of The Pas offers educational opportunities second to none in Western Canada for a Junior Hockey player.  Players still finishing their high school may attend either Joe A. Ross or Margaret Barbour Collegiate.  The highly renown Keewatin Community College offers 12 different Post Secondary programs specializing in technical and occupational course loads.  As well as 45 first year University courses are available through the FYDE program at MBCI.

Development
     This season our club will play a 64 game schedule plus exhibition and playoffs.  We will practice on a daily basis (4:00 pm to allow for school) and expect to have over 100 practice sessions to further develop individual and team skills.  In addition we also have access to a complete and modern weight facility in our arena which will be used to fully compliment our off ice training program.

Coaching
     We are very fortunate to be one of only a few clubs in the MJHL to have a full time Coach and Assistant to work with our players.  Not only will they work on team and player development but also on player advancement as well.  In addition to our top quality staff the Blizzard also have a Director of Hockey, Marketing Director, Trainer, and Office Manager.

Player Needs
     The Blizzard will be recruiting top quality players who are committed to excellence.  We want to continue to present ourselves as a very hard working and enthusiastic club.  In return we will treat our players in a first class way... in fact it is safe to say that the "Blizzard" will be treated as well as any Junior team in Canada!!  Our club will be responsible for room and board, outer equipment, player honorariums and all educational costs while playing for our club.   In addition we have budgeted an individual player allocation for team sportswear.  We are very proud of establishing a college scholarship fund for every graduating player.
