Moose Jaw, SK – The Moose Jaw Warriors came up just short in a back-and-forth battle against the Swift Current Broncos on Tuesday night, dropping a 4-3 shootout game at the Moose Jaw Events Centre.

The Warriors and Broncos have needed extra time in both meetings so far this season.

“We were sharp, we were moving pucks quick… we hung around and I thought we did lots of good things tonight,” Warriors associate coach Scott King said after the loss.

Despite never leading all night, the Swift Current Broncos came away with their 12th win of the season on the road in Moose Jaw Tuesday night by a 4-3 final. Putting them atop the standings in the East Division.

The Warriors would break the ice in the first period with the only goal scored as Ethan Hughes stole the puck at the point for the Broncos and took off on a break-away beating goaltender Reid Dyck (Winkler, MB). Moose Jaw would take that 1-0 lead to the 2nd period. Swift Current outshot the Warriors 13-9 in the opening 20.

An update from the trade that sent Brock Souch to the Okotoks Oilers from the Brooks Bandits has revealed that Sam Huck was involved in the trade.

Huck cemented his name on Oilers history when he finished one point away from tying franchise leader Kyle Reynolds at 164 points, but he's now been secured by the Bandits.

Chestermere wakesurfer Jolene Allen took home a silver medal in the International Waterski & Wakeboard Federation World Wakesurf Championships in Hong Kong, China.

The event ran from November 2-10 at Tai Po Waterfront Park.

Allen says during qualifier heats she was in first place. However, there was a chance of a typhoon hitting the area, and staff with the event pushed her race to finish early.

"They added our final run to the end of the day, and I was the very last rider to ride that day. Unfortunately, it pushed me to ride into the dark."

Hockey players are no strangers to travel, and the Portage Terriers are no exception. The team is preparing for one of their big trips later this week, when they will take the six-hour drive to The Pas.

A couple Terriers also recently made the trip from Portage la Prairie to Warman, Saskatchewan to take part in the Western All-Star Showcase, put on by the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL).

Cavalry FC entered the history books on Saturday afternoon (Nov. 9) in a 2-1 victory over Forge FC to claim their first-ever North Star Cup.

Tobias Warschewski made a difference in the match, scoring a goal and an assist to lead the Cavalry to the promised land. Last season it was Cavalry losing after claiming the top seed in the CPL, this year roles were reversed with Forge FC holding the best record during the regular season but Cavalry winning the Grand Final.

It was a special game for the Junior B Agra Risk Wheatland Kings on Friday (Nov. 8).

As the Kings were set to play the Three Hills Thrashers, identical twins Derrick and Shane Ford ended up facing each other on different sides of the ice.

"It had never happened before," said Derrick, who plays goalie for the Kings. "It was honestly a bit distracting before the game, but once we started playing, I don't think either of us really cared or focused on it too much."

The game ended with the Kings defeating the Thrashers in a 6-0 shutout.

Team Saskatchewan could almost taste a medal.

Rayna Hennie and Raela Packet of the Swift Current Innovation Federal Credit Union Wildcats helped their home province to a 4th place showing at the Hockey Canada U18 Women's National Championship in Quispamsis, New Brunswick last week.

They were 3-1 before dropping a 2-1 semifinal heartbreaker in a shootout against Quebec and falling 4-2 in a very tight battle with British Columbia for bronze.
