The U11 Humboldt Thunder Girls Softball team picked up another tournament win, this time winning the Murphy’s tournament in Saskatoon over the weekend.  

In the round robin, the Thunder stormed out to a strong start winning their first three games, 19-2 over the Heat, 25-0 against the Saskatoon Lasers, and 20-0 against the Saskatoon Phantom Blues.  

The 18U AAA East Central Red Sox dropped both games of a doubleheader against the Saskatoon Diamondbacks on Sunday.  

In the first game the Diamondbacks won a wild 14-13 game. Then in the second game, Saskatoon beat the Red Sox 18-6.  

The Diamondbacks led the first game 7-2 after the first four innings before the Red Sox came back with ten runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to lead 12-7.  

It wasn’t a pretty win on Saturday, but the Saskatchewan Roughriders record is looking good at 2-0 following a 28-23 victory against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.  

After being injured in Week 1, running back AJ Ouellette and Rolan Milligan each made a big contribution to the win.  

Ouellette had a 47-yard touchdown run that sparked the green and white offence in the second quarter.  

The Marysburg Royals continued with their winning ways, taking both games in their doubleheader at home against the Saskatoon Outlaws.   

In Game 1, the Royals prevailed 7-1 and in Game 2, they won convincingly 14-4.  

Nick Anderson led Marysburg in the first game with a pair of hits and three RBIs, with Brent Puetz and Mick Rueve each chipping in with two hits each.  

A 31-year-old woman from the James Smith Cree Nation has been charged after more than 600 grams of illicit drugs were seized by Melfort RCMP.  

On Thursday morning (June 12) at around 8:30 am, while conducting a traffic stop at the James Smith Cree Nation, officers could see drug paraphernalia in plain view in the vehicle. 

It was a case of good news and bad news regarding the Saskatchewan Roughriders injury situation following Week 1 of the 2025 Canadian Football League (CFL) season. 

The Roughriders (1-0) head to Hamilton (0-1) for a matchup against the Tiger-Cats on Saturday.

Inside of the northeast region, the Kelvington area led the way with 24 mm, followed by Rose Valley and Middle Lake areas that both received 22 mm. The Lake Lenore area received 20 mm.  

It was the middle of the day, but the stars were still shining in Humboldt as the Futuristic Industries All-Star Choir and Ray Whitton performed outside of the Museum on 6th Avenue during lunch hour on Thursday.  

Along with the music, the sweet summertime scent of burgers on the grill helped draw a crowd for the Humboldt & District Museum’s concert and BBQ. 

The East Central 15U AAA Dodgers emerged victorious Wednesday night with a 4-1 win over the Saskatoon Brewers.
