I played with the team in 96/97. So many girls went on to play college hockey, some with full scolarships. Don't take this opportunity and life building skills away from the girls.
Our niece plays on this team and we have heard only positive things. Our son left home to play AAA hockey, so we understand the importance of not only a great hockey program, but the friendships and connections to school and community for these kids. Please... keep the Prairie Fire burning!
The only thing that kept my daughter in hockey this year was the opportunity to play girls hockey last spring! This is going to contribute to a decline in girls hockey which can’t be in anyone’s best interests. Doesn’t seem right that you have to be part of a bigger centre to play competitive girls hockey. Come on SHA!!
As a former PF billet and the mother to 3 young girls I have to share my concern regarding the loss of this team. It will hurt our community and rural girls hockey! Please reconsider this decision
We need to keep promoting female hockey, not having less teams so girls have to move further away from home or not play at all. Especially for the rural girls who already have rules that have them travelling many miles already!
Very disappointed on SHA’s stance on removing the Melville Prairie Fire. It is a vindictive move by members of the board and comes down to big center bullying. SHA’s objective is suppose to increase hockey participation in a positive way, not eliminate. And the excuses they’ve provided are lame and have little validity.
Don’t put out the Fire!

From a letter June 22 2017 "The SHA’s mandate is to sustain the viability of hockey in our province that includes both maintaining what we have and growing the game for new participants. The way we do this is by building capacity in minor hockey associations." Sure wish this was true for this team..
