After 22 years The Estevan Bruins are the SJHL Champions! All the blood, sweat and tears, all of the trial and effort brought us here. Congratulations to The Bruins. We did it!
Bruins fans with the news of this evening’s bus accident please keep the Humbolt Broncos players, staff, and families in your prayers.
We kindly ask that you respect the privacy of everyone involved and wait for proper authorities to release details once they’re available.
Tonight we honoured one of Estevan‘s longest standing billet moms, Melodye Pierson. Melodye and her late husband, Bert, opened their doors to Bruins players for the first time in 1979 and since then, it hasn’t been unusual for 2 to 4 Bruins (1/3)
It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Melodye Pierson, a beloved member of our Estevan Bruins family. We send our deepest condolences to her sons Jeff, Brad and the entire Pierson and Symons families.
Thanks for the memories, Mel 🖤 💛
ESTEVAN WE DID IT 🥇🎉🥳
Your Estevan Bruins are the 2021/22 SJHL champions!
Now its time to give these boys the cheers they deserve!!
GO BRUINS GO! 💛🖤

It is with great sadness we say goodbye to a dear friend and long time member of the Bruins family: Bert Pierson.
Thank you Bert for sharing your home and family with so many of us. In the words so frequently spoken by your beautiful wife Melodye, “Thanks for the memories!”
2/2 a total of $95,336 had been raised for the families of fallen Broncos Coaches and Bruins Alumni Darcy Haugan and Mark Cross.
Today a very generous member of our SE SK. community called in a personal pledge of $5000 to push our total over $100,000.
Thank You Bruins Fans!💛🖤
