The 2009-10 season did see the Steinbach Huskies winning the Manitoba Provincial 'A' Championships against Souris by a score of 8-7 over two legs.[1] The Huskies followed up their Provincial championship the following day in a game 7 match up against the La Broquerie Habs. Mike Martens, the captain at the time, scored with 3:13 left in the third period to clinch the seventh and deciding game 4-3. The championship was a first for the Steinbach team in the CSHL, and the first local league title since the Huskies won the Hanover-Tache Hockey League in 1993-94.[2]
