It was a mixed bag of weather on the weekend at Humboldt Golf Club’s Annual Father’s Day Tournament.   

On Saturday, the golfers were presented with ideal playing conditions, while on Sunday the cold wind and rain forced a cancellation midway through the final round of the two-day event.   

Steps have been made towards a Regional Emergency Mangement Operation in Humboldt and the surrounding area.  

The discussion has been ongoing for several years, with interest being expressed along with communities and rural municipalities in the area. 

This led to a successful application for a TSS grant to hire a consultant to help develop an emergency plan for the region.

Following the selection of defenceman Tatum Fouquette during the first round, Humboldt acquired his brother, Tre Fouquette from the Nipawin Hawks. In return, the Broncos sent the 22nd pick in both the 2008 and 2009 portions of the 2024 draft, a 2025 1st round selections in both the 2009 and 2010 sections of the draft to Nipawin.
