The Lundar Falcons are a Junior ice hockey team based in Lundar, Manitoba. Home games are played at Lundar Arena.[1]
History
[edit]Lundar Falcons were formed for the 2010–11 season as a member of the Keystone Junior Hockey League, where they competed until 2018.
The team had one of their best seasons in 2012–13 under then head coach Arnie Caplan, who helped guide the team to its first finish above .500 mark. Caplan would go on to coach at Portage College and Waywayseecappo Wolverines.[2]
For the 2018-19 season the Falcons were one of five teams that departed the Keystone Junior Hockey League and established the Capital Region Junior Hockey League.[3] Despite finishing last in the regular season the Falcons won five games in the playoffs before losing to eventual league champion Selkirk Fishermen in Game 7.[4]
