The Bisons men's hockey team got an instant boost to their scoring depth today, announcing the commitment of Stonewall, MB native Hayden Wheddon. The product of the Niverville Nighthawks was unstoppable during the 2025-26 season, helping the expansion MJHL squad make history in capturing the Turnbull and Centennial Cups in just their fourth year of existence. 

Wheddon was the engine that helped power the best team in the MJHL. The Nighthawks won 51 of 58 regular season games, paced by Wheddon's 90 points in 57 regular season games. That total was nine higher than anyone else in the league. Along the way, Niverville became the first team to reach 50 wins in the regular season since the Portage Terriers in 2015-16. 

Wheddon was just as dominant in the MJHL playoffs. He added 14 points in 13 Turnbull Cup playoff games, helping the Nighthawks to their first league title, while going 12-1 overall. 
 

During the National Junior A Championship Tournament, Wheddon continued to put on a show. He scored 12 points in six games, including the game-winner (along with the opening goal) in a 4-1 win over Summerside in the Centennial Cup championship game. With the win, Niverville became the first team from Manitoba to win a National Junior A title since Portage did so in 2015.
