The Bruno Merchants are in Saskatoon for the 2024 National Men's Fast Pitch Championships at the Gordie Howe Complex this week. 

They opened with a 2-1 loss to Kitchener this afternoon. 

Coach Ray Bender said the game was decided on a couple of plays.  

If you were waiting to grab a ticket for the 59th annual Labour Day Classic on Sunday in Regina, it's now too late. The Saskatchewan Roughriders announced today that Sunday's matchup with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers is sold out.  

It will be a first-place battle between the two clubs with the Roughriders (5-5-1) leading the Blue Bombers (5-6) and BC Lions (5-6). A win by the Roughriders would clinch the season series against Winnipeg and give the green and white the important tiebreaker. 

Humboldt Fire and Rescue, local RCMP, Humboldt and District Ambulance Service and the local conservation officer are partnering up for the annual Humboldt Emergency Services Charity Golf Tournament on Thursday, September 5 at the Humboldt Golf Course. 

Chief of Protective Services Mike Kwasnica says the proceeds of the tournament will help out some local projects.

The Town of Watrous, Manitou Golf Course and Watrous Winterhawks hockey team are coming together for a great cause. 

Since Winston High School did not receive their grant for their breakfast program, the three organizations have partnered up together to create a raffle with the proceeds going to the breakfast program. 

Recreation Director Chelsea Murfitt says the breakfast program provides an important service.  

School doesn’t start for another week, but class is back in session for the Humboldt Collegiate Institute (HCI) Mohawks Football team. 

The squad began practicing last week, as they begin preparations for a brand-new season that kicks off in less than two weeks.  

Head Coach Eric Anderson is eager for the new campaign to begin, noting that this year’s edition of the Mohawk football team will be a youthful athletic group.  

A new season is just around the corner for the Humboldt Broncos, with training camp a week away. 

The team has announced their schedule for camp. 

On Friday, August 30, there will be a pair of team practices. Team 1 starts at 2:00 with Team 2 on the ice at 3:15.   

The goalies will have their turn at 4:30.  

On the eve of training camp, the Humboldt Broncos have made a move. Today they sent the CJHL rights forward Tim Kim to the Drayton Valley Thunder of the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL)

In return, the Broncos will receive a player development fee along with future considerations.

Kim last suited up with the Broncos during the 2022-23 season when he registered 45 points (13G-32A) in 48 games.

Last year, the 20-year-old spent time in the BCHL with Merrit along with stints in the United States in the NCDC (Idaho Falls & Provo) and the NAHL (Anchorage).

Last week, missed field goals were the difference for the Saskatchewan Roughriders 27-24 loss to the Montreal Alouettes.  

On Thursday, a missed field goal attempt from 40 yards by Toronto Argonauts kicker Lirim Hajrullhau sailed wide left just as time expired in regulation, but with the ball flying through the endzone, the single point rouge was all the Argos needed, as Toronto (6-4) edged out Saskatchewan (5-5-1) 20-19.
