Senior Flyers’ clash with Spirit River postponed due to weather
The Spirit River Rangers were scheduled to come to the North Peace Arena on December 18th to play the Fort St. John Flyers, but the scheduling has been put off by the winter weather.
FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — For the second time in less than a week, snowy weather has forced the Fort St. John Senior Flyers to postpone another North Peace Hockey League (NPHL) game.
The Spirit River Rangers were scheduled to come to the North Peace Arena on Thursday, December 18th.
However, the game has been temporarily scrapped on last-minute notice, according to Flyers’ president Paul van Nostrand, due to weather and road conditions.
Nostrand made an announcement on Facebook, saying the game will be “postponed until the New Year.”
Temperatures in Fort St. John are scheduled to hit lows of -29 C this evening, with a windchill temperature of -39 C and a chance of between five and 10cm of snowfall.
This follows the postponement of a game against the Dawson Creek Canucks from Saturday, December 13th, 2025 to Thursday, January 15th, 2026.
The neutral-site affair is scheduled to take place in Chetwynd at the District Recreation Centre.
