Double trouble, Remillard twins killing it with Selects

They've played together for years, but this season may be the most fun Lexi and Kali Remillard have had yet, as the twin-sensations were key parts to the Eastman Selects U18 AAA hockey team capturing the league title.

The two stars didn't start wreaking havoc in hockey, they actually got their start in ringette, according to Lexi. "It was a long time ago, but we started by playing ringette. One day, my dad suggested that we try something different. He just put us in hockey in St. Malo and we fell in love with it. We've been playing ever since."

Shift towards much warmer weather expected next week

Southern Manitoba could be experiencing double digit temperatures by the middle of next week.

"We warm up a little bit but then just as that warmup is starting to really feel like spring, another Arctic air mass comes down and hits us," explains Kehler.
