A member of the [[Manitoba Major Junior Hockey League]] (MMJHL), the Twisters play their home games at [http://www.morrisarena.ca/hockeynews/index.html Morris Multiplex]. ==History== The Pembina Valley Twisters first skated into existence in September 2001, founded by Glenn Cordy and Kerry Lines. Glenn and Kerry coached the Sanford Sabers High School Hockey Team during the 2000–01 season. At the conclusion of an emotional season it was realized that the graduating players did not have a place to continue playing outside the "[[Winkler Flyers]]" and a Junior B team in [[St. Malo, Manitoba]]. Thus the founding of the team in 2001. The first four years were played in [[Oak Bluff, Manitoba\|Oak Bluff]]. The first coach was [[Danny McDonald]]. The third and fourth years were led by [[Rick Smith (ice hockey)\|Rick Smith]] and his coaching staff. During both seasons, the Twisters competed and made the playoffs. Concluding the fourth season, as was the case with Danny McDonald, Rick Smith stepped down as head coach~~. Rick's efforts did not go unnoticed as the Twisters were now on the verge of taking the next step, competing for a league championship~~. After ~~our~~their fourth season, [[Glen Munford]] contacted [[Kerry Lines]] inquiring about an expansion franchise for [[Morris, Manitoba\|Morris]]. That was not possible, as sharing the existing geographic area would not work. The other possibility was proposed, moving the Twisters to the Town of Morris. After several discussions and after partaking in the Stampede Parade, it was unanimously decided to move the franchise to Morris. The existing ownership group of Kerry, Don Boyd and [[Doug Ushakas]] ~~now~~ joined Glen Munford and [[Dale Rempel]] to make up the new ownership group. The Twisters entered ~~the~~their fifth year with Doug Ushakas behind the bench as head coach., ~~The previous~~after two previous seasons ~~were~~ as an assistant to Rick Smith. After an off -season recruiting program, the Twisters were eliminated during the first round of playoffs. == League championships == === Jack Mackenzie Trophy (playoffs) === * 2007-08, 2012-13, 2018-19<ref>{{Cite web\|url = http://www.pembinavalleyonline.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=32019&Itemid=426\|title = Twisters Win MMJHL Title\|date = 22 April 2013\|accessdate = \|website = Pembina Valley Online\|publisher = \|last = \|first = }}</ref> === Art Moug Trophy (regular season) === Line 38: * 2018-19 == Head Coaches == * Danny McDonald (2001–03) * [[Rick Smith (ice hockey)\|Rick Smith]] (2003–05) Line 44: * Garth Shindle (2009–12) * Derek Mohr (2012–16) * Ryan Dyck (~~2016–Present~~2016–2020) * Matt Dyck (2020-2022) * Braeden Beernaerts (2022-Present) == References == Line 53 ⟶ 55: [[Category:Ice hockey teams in Manitoba]] [[Category:2001 establishments in Manitoba]] [[Category:Ice hockey clubs established in 2001]]
