The Neepawa Natives Junior A Hockey team has had a long history, 28 years of history. The past seven years have been a bit of a dry period, when you measure success by play-off games. The last time the Natives made the playoffs was in 2010. That was the year they came up against Dauphin, a year when that city was hosting the RBC cup and had bulked up big time with talent (at great financial cost) to be competitive at the national level. Neepawa lost that playoff series to Dauphin.
