For the first time in the 2024-25 Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) season, the Humboldt Broncos will meet an opposing team, as they kick off the preseason tonight in Kindersley against the Klippers tonight.  

Last weekend, the Broncos held their training camp at the Elgar Petersen Arena, giving Head Coach Brayden Klimosko a chance to view his new team on the ice. His first impression of the squad was a positive one.  

It will be a fresh crop of local depth for the Saskatchewan Roughriders (5-6-1) when they head to Winnipeg to meet the Blue Bombers (6-6) on Saturday. 

With classes back in session, action on the gridiron is set to begin. 

High school football gets underway today with one matchup in Six-man football as the Wakaw Warriors host the Hague Panthers in their season opener.  

On Friday, it will be a busy day for local teams.

In Six-Man action, Watrous Wildcats will head south to meet the Assiniboia Rockets. 

The Wynyard Bears visit the Ituna Trojans.  

A major project is now underway in the town of Wakaw. 

The revitalization of the business section of 1st Street South started this week, with work beginning on the sewer lines in the 100 and 200 blocks. 

Chief Administrator Officer Melissa Dieno says the town hopes to have repairs done to the water lines completed by the end of this fall.  

A travelling exhibit will be touching down in Humboldt beginning today.

The Marysburg Royals capped off a successful season in the Saskatoon Senior Men's Baseball league with a championship victory last night.

This marks the second straight season that the Royals have won the league championship.

A slippery slope in the standings in August has snowballed into September for the Saskatchewan Roughriders (5-6-1) following a 35-33 loss in the Labour Day Classic to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (6-6) on Sunday.  

After a summer break, the Wakaw Warriors football team is ready to get back on the gridiron.  

The team began practicing last week as they begin preparations for the 2024 campaign. 

Head Coach Carter Haryett says there’s renewed optimism with the team with a change to the team’s coaching staff.  

It's another sign summer is ending as the Elgar Petersen Arena (EPA) will be busy this weekend with the Humboldt Broncos training camp. 

The Broncos will hit the ice on Friday, with a pair of practices, first at 2:00 pm, then at 3:15 pm, with the goalies workout at 4:30 pm. Day one will finish with a scrimmage at 8:30 pm.  

On Saturday, the first practice is at 11:00 am, then at 12:30 pm, and a scrimmage at 6:00 pm. 

With school back in session next week, this long weekend will see many people enjoy one final chance to enjoy the summer break. 

 It looks like the weather will cooperate with those potential plans. 

Environment and Climate Change Canada Meteorologist Terri Lang says the forecast this weekend is promising.
