MooseJaw

The Moose Jaw Warriors put together one of their most complete efforts of the season to knock off the Eastern Conference’s top team.

Jackson Unger made 32 saves for the Warriors as they shutout the Saskatoon Blades, 4-0, on Thursday night at the Moose Jaw Events Centre.

“Obviously Saskatoon is playing good hockey this year, but I like the fact that we took it to them right off the bat,” Warriors associate coach Scott King said. “We were getting pucks in behind them, we were on the forecheck and I thought a lot of guys probably had their best game in a Warrior uniform.”

It is with heavy hearts we say goodbye to Patricia Elliot on November 18, 2024. Pat was born on April 27, 1938.  

The government on Thursday announced a sweeping promise to make groceries, children's clothing, Christmas trees, restaurant meals and more free from GST/HST between Dec. 14 and Feb. 15. 

KEEN, Dennis 

On November 14, 2024, Dennis John Keen passed away peacefully and woke up in heaven. He was born in Regina, SK in May 1952. Dennis was reliant on others for all of his daily living support needs. He was admitted to Valley View Centre in Moose Jaw on July 18, 1960, and eventually transitioned to a group home in Regina on November 29, 2018. Dennis was supported by Karis Disability Services (formerly Christian Horizons) and enjoyed the social life of his new community until his death.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Fredrick James Johnson on Tuesday, November 19th, 2024.   

Fred was born on July 12th, 1941, in Findlater, Saskatchewan where he worked the farm until finally fulfilling his dream of owning a bar and moved to Grayson, SK.  He later retired to Craik, SK and then eventually made his way to Moose Jaw, SK.   

For the first time since Game 6 of last year’s Eastern Conference Championship, the Moose Jaw Warriors and Saskatoon Blades will lock horns at the Hangar in downtown Moose Jaw on Thursday night.

The Warriors are expecting a stiff test when they square off with their East Division rivals.

“We’ve just got to play to our structure, play to our game and if everyone’s on board, we’ll be successful,” Warriors defenceman Connor Schmidt said.
