Dodsland is a village in west-central Saskatchewan, in the Rural Municipality of Winslow No. 319. It incorporated as a village on August 23, 1913.
The village has produced a notable group of hockey people. Ed Chynoweth, a Hockey Hall of Fame executive, went on to serve as president of the Western Hockey League and the Canadian Hockey League, and the Ed Chynoweth Cup carries his name. NHL players Don Gillen, who played for the Philadelphia Flyers and Hartford Whalers, and defenceman Bob Hoffmeyer also come from Dodsland. So does Brad McCrimmon, a former NHL defenceman and coach who won the Stanley Cup in 1989 and was killed in the 2011 Lokomotiv Yaroslavl plane crash.
