History

Despite finishing in fourth in their division and seventh overall in the league, the La Ronge Ice Wolves defeated the Humboldt Broncos, Flin Flon Bombers, Battlefords North Stars, Yorkton Terriers, all league champions in previous years, to clinch their first SJHL Credit Union Cup. With the win, the Ice Wolves advance to the Anavet Cup, but already have their ticket stamped to the 2010 Royal Bank Cup because their opponent, the Dauphin Kings of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League, already are hosting the National Championship.
