As of now, they are the defending champions. The tournament kicks off on April 20, 2026, in Peterborough, Ontario. Regina has made an impressive 11 appearances at this tournament.

They have a storied history, having won five national championships: 1983, 1988, 1994, 1999, and most recently in 2025. Their performance last year was highlighted by Maddox Schultz being named tournament MVP.

Regina enters this year’s competition with a strong record of 38 wins, three losses, and three ties during the regular season. They scored 253 goals while allowing just 118—an impressive goal differential that underscores their dominance.

In the playoffs, Regina maintained their form with a record of 12 wins and three losses. They scored 71 goals against only 40 allowed. Their path to the Telus Cup included a decisive victory over the Moose Jaw Warriors, winning 5-1 in the Western Regionals final.

The tournament format will include six teams: five regional champions and one host team. Only a few teams have ever won back-to-back titles—most notably the Red Deer Chiefs and the Notre Dame Hounds.

“It takes a lot of determination. Some guys on this team have been in this spot before,” said player Cooper Bratton. The pressure is palpable as they aim to join an elite group of repeat champions.

Details remain unconfirmed about how other teams will stack up against Regina. But with players like Ryan Hodgins expressing excitement and readiness—”We’re ready to go. It’s very exciting”—the stage is set for an intense competition ahead.

As Easter approaches, many residents in Renfrew and Peterborough are eager to know what is open today. Traditionally, this holiday sees a significant number of closures, particularly among grocery stores and public services. In previous years, shoppers could expect limited options on Good Friday and Easter Sunday, with most stores shuttered for the holiday.

This year, however, there are some notable changes. Most grocery stores, including Walmart, Chris and Tanya’s No Frills, Renfrew Metro, and Giant Tiger, will close for Good Friday and Easter Sunday. In contrast, Rexall will be open on Easter from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., providing a crucial option for those in need of pharmacy services.

City Hall and administrative services will also be closed on Friday, April 3, and Monday, April 6, which may affect residents looking for municipal services. The Art Gallery of Peterborough will be closed on Friday and Monday but will open on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., allowing for some cultural engagement over the holiday weekend.

For those looking for recreational activities, the Peterborough Regional Airport will remain open daily from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., ensuring travel options are available. Meanwhile, Riverview Park and Zoo will be open daily from 8:30 a.m. to dusk, although its Gift Shop will be closed on Friday. This presents a unique opportunity for families to enjoy the outdoors during the holiday.

In stark contrast to the closures, many retail chains are adapting their hours. Most Walmart stores are set to operate from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Easter, providing essential shopping options for last-minute needs. BJ’s Wholesale Club will also be open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., while Trader Joe’s will maintain normal hours on Easter, catering to those who prefer specialty groceries.

Meijer stores will be open from 6 a.m. to midnight on Easter, offering extended hours for shoppers. However, Costco and Sam’s Club will remain closed, limiting options for bulk shoppers. This mix of closures and openings reflects a broader trend of adapting to consumer needs while respecting the holiday’s significance.

As residents navigate their plans for the Easter holiday, the varying hours of operation across different entities highlight the importance of checking ahead. With many public services closed and grocery stores limiting their hours, understanding what is open today becomes essential for planning. The community’s response to these changes will likely shape future holiday hours as businesses continue to adapt to consumer behavior.

In summary, while many establishments will close for the Easter holiday, there are still several options available for those looking to shop or engage in recreational activities. The evolving landscape of store hours and closures reflects both tradition and the need for flexibility in service provision during holidays.
