Stettler has recently added their name to the roster of teams in the East Central Senior Hockey League.
The new team is, in fact, paying tribute to a former Stettler hockey team also named The Stettler Imperials, who played for several decades before folding. According to Imperials’ staffer D.J. Kistner, there was another team in the 1970s called the Sabres, but they eventually folded.
“We wanted to pay tribute to the strong hockey history in the community.” D.J. Kistner
Kistner says the age range of the team can be fairly wide. The minimum age is 16, but there is no limit beyond that. He expects the team and the league will mostly be populated by 20-40-year-olds.

In addition to Stettler Imperials, the league consists of:
Delburne Outlaws
Forestburg Flyers
Sedgwick Sabres
Provost Combines
Irma Aces
Hughenden Jets
Oyen Eagles
Coronation Royals
Their home opener is set for November 6th, with a Cabaret to follow in the HUB to celebrate the beginning of the season.
