The Ste. Anne Aces continue to do what they can to remain in the Southeast Manitoba Hockey League, and after raising concerns to Hockey Manitoba, a re-vote has been ordered. 

In an email from Hockey Manitoba, "(Ste. Anne) brought up concerns regarding the voting process and surrounding circumstances that were used to remove them from the SEMHL, and they are contesting that the SEMHL By-Laws and Regulations do not identify a clear process to remove a team from competition."

Through hard work and dedication, star athlete Charlie Shearer has dominated multiple sports for years and the 17-year-old is not stopping any time soon.

Calling Shearer a multi-sport athlete might be an undersell. "I play AAA softball, AAA hockey, high school softball, I play school volleyball and basketball, I was on the school golf team this year, I'm into cross country as well as track and field. Plus, I'm an avid hunter."

The U14 Morden Eagles have had a great season filled with wins, laughs and memories, all of which has been cherished by player Lyann Fochtberger, who says this year has been very special. 

Before becoming a member of the Eagles, Fochtberger recalls what it was like starting to play soccer. "I started, I think it was two years ago, I started playing in a beginning league, that's where I started. I started to enjoy the sport and I wanted to continue playing soccer. I played there again and I also started to train more. Somehow, I got into the Morden Eagles club."

Down 8-1 to the league leading Prince Albert Predators with 5:56 to go in the first period, the Swift Current Wolverines could have easily thrown in the towel.

Instead, they battled back to within a goal in the third period before eventually falling 16-12 in their final regular season game on the junior Prairie Gold Lacrosse League schedule.

"I thought it was good the way the boys didn't give up and came back," said Brock Smith of the Wolverines. "Ran it right back to them and they got scared in the end, so it felt good."

William Edwards led the way for the Millar Express with two home runs in their victory.

They meet again tonight at Mitchell Field.

First pitch is 7:05 PM.
