If you're a Swift Current Broncos fan looking for a good omen before tonight's playoff game against Medicine Hat, April 2nd has been a good day in recent Broncos history.

Since 2000, the Broncos have played five playoff games on April 2nd and won all five.

That includes three series-clinching games.

Their most recent April 2nd game was last season's 5-3 win in Game 3 of their first round series against Lethbridge.

This past weekend, the Weyburn Curling Club hosted the 2025 Provincial Seniors Men's and Women's Curling Championship. Chair Chris Mass says it was a successful event. 

“It exceeded my expectations, actually. Weyburn, give yourselves a pat on the back. We had lots of people come to watch. The stands were packed with people. Thank you very much for showing up.” 

The championship saw two athletes move on to the national championships, men's winner Bruce Korte with the Nutana Curling Club and women's winner Amber Holland with the Sutherland Curling Club.  

We've got a series.

The Strathmore Venom Lacrosse Club has moved its practices back to town.

The team has been running a winter camp in Calgary since the start of the year. After crews cleared the ice from the Strathmore Family Centre's Blue Arena, the Venom returned home.

"It's really nice because we have a draw zone all the way out to Siksika, Standard, Hussar, Rockyford, so it's a bit of a jaunt in," said head coach Travis Gauthier. 

With the regular season beginning on Apr. 14, the team will be training hard in anticipation of its first game.

Preparations for next season have already begun for the Humboldt Broncos.  

On Wednesday, the Broncos announced the commitment of 2007-born forward Avery Lowe for the upcoming 2025-26 season.  

A product of Delta BC, Lowe recently completed his second season with the Valley West Giants U18 AAA program where he collected 56 points (30G-26A) in 36 games.  

An incident involving the U18 Wawota Flyers has drawn public scrutiny after photos surfaced on social media earlier this month showing players in a dressing room with alcohol. One of the images included a caption deemed extremely offensive, leading to multiple suspensions at both the league and provincial levels.

Playoff lacrosse is coming back to Saskatchewan! 

Austin Shanks scored six goals and Frank Scigliano made 30 saves as the Saskatchewan Rush defeated the Colorado Mammoth 17-12 Saturday night in Saskatoon. 

The win was one of the final pieces put in place for the Rush to clinch a home playoff berth. Rush broadcaster Cody Janzen says having home-floor advantage is crucial. 

In part one of a two-part conversation with curling sensation Jace Freeman, the young star shared how he fell in love with the game, what it was like growing up at different positions on teams, and more.

Blackfalds Bulldogs forward Thomas Neu has been named the BCHL's 3rd Star of the Week.

Neu tied for the league lead in points last week with five, scoring two goals and three assists in a pair of Blackfalds wins.

In Friday’s 7-3 win over the Sherwood Park Crusaders, Neu set a personal best for assists and points as he finished with three in the victory. 

The following night, he scored two goals, including one on a penalty shot, in a 4-3 win against the Spruce Grove Saints in the team's final game of the season. This was his first multi-goal game in the BCHL.

Canada moved into a tie with China for first place after an 8-3 win over Norway in the Wednesday morning draw at the BKT World Men's Curling Championship at the Temple Garden Centre.

The Canadians improved to 6-1, tied with China, while three teams were clustered at 5-2.

"I think one of the main things we need to continue to do right now and moving forward is just stay mentally strong. We’ve played seven games, and we’ve got five more to go. We just have to make sure we get good rest and recovery between games here," said Canada's skip Brad Jacobs.
