The 1973-74 season was the Steelers most successful season. The Steelers won the MJHL title, taking the Turnbull Cup, then defeated the Prince Albert Raiders 4-games-to-2 to win the Anavet Cup.
They went on to compete for the Abbott Cup against the Kelowna Buckaroos of the British Columbia Junior Hockey League and defeated them 4-games-to-3.
This moved the Steelers along to the National Championship against the Smiths Falls Bears of the Central Junior A Hockey League for the Manitoba Centennial Cup, the National Junior "A" Championship. The series went seven games, with the Steelers stealing Game 7 1-0 in overtime to clinch their first and, so far, only National Title.
Gord Kaluzniak scored the winner at 7:09 of overtime on a pass from brother Gary for a 1-0 championship win.
The 1974 Selkirk Steelers were inducted into the Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame in the team category
