As the Winnipeg Blue Bombers prepare for the Grey Cup game this Sunday, running back Brady Oliveira, a Winnipeg native, is reminding his teammates to keep their focus amidst the distractions.

Speaking to reporters at a press conference earlier this week, Oliveira emphasized the importance of maintaining their usual routine to stay ready for the championship showdown against the Toronto Argonauts.

Swift Current, SK – Luke Mistelbacher (Steinbach, MB) capped off a four-point night with the overtime winner with 24 seconds left to cap off the Broncos 5th straight win and sweep of their home-at-home series with the Moose Jaw Warriors Wednesday night 5-4.

Another game, another addition to the win streak for the Portage Terriers, as they have now gone on the MJHL's longest win streak this season. This time, the Dogs triumphed 5-2 over the visiting Winnipeg Blues. The win also propelled the Dogs to first place in the MJHL standings.

Both teams got some strange bounces in the first period, which got great reactions from the crowd.

With seconds left in the Terriers' first powerplay, Adler Johnston tried to send a pass to the front of the net, but with a bounce off of one of the Blues' sticks, ended up in the net.

It has been announced that the trial for five former World Junior Canadian hockey players will begin on April 22, 2025. 

The highly publicized case involves former local hockey player Dillon Dubé, who played with the U15 AAA Airdrie Xtreme in the past, Cal Foote, Carter Hart, Alex Formenton, and Michael McLeod.
