They make for an interesting concoction, these ever-evolving Winnipeg Blue Bombers now just three games into their 2025 Canadian Football League schedule.

Some, not all, of the familiar faces still remain in place from a crew that has appeared in five straight Grey Cup games, with championships in 2019 and 2021 and the early indicators are they have been mixed with a tasty crew of newcomers and second-year pros who are bringing their own magic to the potion.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders enter Saturday’s Week 4 matchup against the BC Lions with a perfect 3-0 record good for first place in the CFL West — but they’ll need a win to stay ahead of the surging Winnipeg Blue Bombers, who moved to 3-0 with a 36-23 win over Edmonton on Thursday night.

The Roughriders have a big question mark entering the game. Quarterback Trevor Harris was once again listed as questionable on Thursday's team injury report with a head/illness issue. Seven Roughriders are already listed as out for the game, including receiver Samuel Emilus.

The Winnipeg Goldeyes have gone above and beyond to bring the love of baseball to kids in remote areas this year. 

"This professional baseball team just hosted a camp more than 1,400 km away from their stadium," said the American Association on Instagram. "What's even crazier is where the camp was hosted."

The Winnipeg Goldeyes are the only Canadian team in the American Association of Professional Baseball.

The Bow Valley Grizzlies U13 rugby team capped off a remarkable season with a dramatic 43–33 comeback win to capture the 2025 league cup Wednesday night at the Calgary Rugby Union.

Early on, the Grizzlies appeared outmatched by a strong Calgary Rams/Canucks side. But the young squad rallied behind their fiery on-field chant — "Ten feet tall and ten feet wide" — and responded with one of the most memorable comebacks in local youth rugby.

In less than three months, NHL hockey will be back at Canada Life Centre.

The Regina Chaos did the Swift Current Wolverines in junior Prairie Gold Lacrosse League action last night.

Avery Sewell, Caleb Singer-Scherle, and Kenton Appel each had hat tricks in a 14-3 Regina win over the Saskatoon Swat.

Saskatoon is 3 points behind Swift Current for the third and final playoff spot in the league.

The Wolverines have already played their final regular season games, while Saskatoon still has two more games in hand.

Former Swift Current Bronco Luke Mistelbacher has determined his next destination.

He committed to the University of Maine for the 2026-27 hockey season.

The Steinbach native had 42 goals and 51 assists in 67 games for the Broncos last season.

Swift Current dealt Mistelbacher and Grayson Burzynski to the Brandon Wheat Kings for five draft picks and forward Alex Letourneau.

He joined the Broncos as an undrafted free agent and spent three seasons with Swift Current.
