Previously, WHL players were declared ineligible to play NCAA hockey in the U.S.
A lot of Saskatchewan people were doing a second take when the University of Saskatchewan Huskies unexpectedly appeared during the famous American sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live.

The cameo occurred during a self-defence sketch featuring Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
Another unknown character in the sketch who plays an office intern is seen wearing a grey U of S Huskies t-shirt.
As seen on Saturday Night Live:

The university isn’t sure how a branded shirt got onto the show.
“As a result, there have been hundreds of mentions on social media about the appearance of the Huskies shirt from proud alumni, students and friends (and strangers!),” said Heather Persson, chief communications officer.
“The real benefit of this is in people who are not familiar with USask potentially learning about the outstanding work taking place at our university.”
