Being inducted into the Sports Hall of Fame for 2025 are: 

Sask Hockey has announced the camp lineup for the U16 Top 34 camp with a couple of local players making the list.  

Defenceman Kohen Ruedig from Humboldt and Kash Elke from Lanigan were named to the camp.  

The Top 34 camp is the last stage before the selection of the roster that will represent Team Saskatchewan at the WHL Cup in October.  

The East Central 15U AAA Dodgers enjoyed a successful weekend as they won three of four games in a pair of doubleheaders.  

The Eastman Wildcats continued their strong season by finishing 2nd out of 23 teams at the Mankato Peppers Classic this past weekend.

Finished runner-up in the Gold Bracket, losing their only game of the tournament and their season in the gold medal game. 

The club went 8-1 at the tournament and combining that with their regular season record, they are now 39-1.

In pool play, they won 11-0 over Mississippi Valley Pride, 15-4 over ISA Royal, 4-0 against Dakota Mayhem, 8-4 over Gamblers Gold, 3-1 vs host Mankato Peppers Richards and 1-0 against MN Havoc.

The Moose Jaw Miller Express were swept in a three-game set over the weekend, taking two losses against the Lethbridge Bulls and one to the Saskatoon Berries. 

The Berries made a late charge on Friday night at Ross Wells Park to pick up a 12–8 win over the Miller Express. 

The Okotoks Dawgs keep finding ways to win, including beating the Brooks Bombers back-to-back over the weekend.

Their record is now 23 and 10 as they hold a 2 and a half game lead over the Lethbridge Bulls and the Sylvan Lake Gulls for first place in the WCBL West division.

The Dawgs dropped the Bombers 5-1 on Saturday and 13-3 on Sunday.

Interestingly enough, the Dawgs host the Bulls on Tuesday night at Seaman Stadium, and then they host the Gulls on Wednesday this week.

Tickets are still available.

Steer Wrestler Scott Guenthner from Provost, Alberta, is going to the Championship finals this Sunday at the Calgary Stampede.

Guenthner had a time of 4.7 seconds on the final day in Pool A to finish in second place on Sunday, but more importantly, he finished first overall.

That means he's going to the Steer Wrestling finals on Sunday. 

Two other Albertans also qualified for Championship Sunday.

Ladies Breakaway Roping standout Shelby Boisjoli-Meged from Langdon finished in first place yesterday, and overall, so she's moving on to the finals.

Sixteen-year-old Camden Suchan is gearing up for another incredibly busy summer of baseball. Not only is the pitcher and third base player currently busy with her home team, the East Central 15U AAA Dodgers, but she has a role to play on three different Team Sask squads as each gears up for national competitions.  

The track was wet and a bit slow on the Rangeland Derby on Sunday night, and several penalties slowed down some of the drivers' rankings.

Defending Champion High River's Jason Glass took out a barrel, costing him 5 seconds and pushing him from 3rd down into 13th place in the aggregate.

Glass also suffered a 5-second penalty in last year's Calgary Stampede, but also set a new track record and was able to overcome his penalty and went on to win it all.

After a rough Alberta road trip that saw the team unable to pick up a win in six attempts, the Weyburn Beavers made their return to Tom Laing Park Sunday night. While rain and lightning would prompt an early end to the game after six innings, it was enough for the Beavers to get back in the win column with an 8-6 victory.
