The Head Coach of the Eastman Selects U18 AAA Female hockey team couldn't be prouder of his group for what they accomplished this season and coming off the Western Regionals, he's had some time to soak in just how special this year and this group was.

The Carman Minor Soccer Association is excited for the weather to be a little nicer and for the start of the outdoor soccer season to get underway this season.

President Chelsea Kozak says there is a lot to look forward to this year. "It's really exciting, the weather seems to be in our favour here, so we're thinking about starting outdoor practice already next week, which is really exciting. We're looking forward to getting back out there, getting on the fields and seeing the kids getting to play the game that they love."

The Portage Stampeders Special Olympics team had an amazing performance at the indoor track and field event held last weekend in Winnipeg, with all six athletes competing earning ribbons and qualifying for the upcoming provincial Summer Games in June.

"It was a great weekend," said Deanna Talbot, the head coach of the team.

"We had six athletes compete in a variety of events, including shot put, the 60-meter run, the 200-meter run, and the long jump. Every athlete walked away with a ribbon, so it was a fantastic experience."

Despite a valiant effort against the league-leading Penticton Vees, the Okotoks Oilers have been eliminated from the 2024-2025 BCHL playoffs.

Penticton took the lead just over seven minutes in, with Max Heise netting the only goal of the first period.

Oiler Brock Souch would even the score at 5:17 of the second, but Penticton reclaimed their lead two-and-a-half minutes later and widened the gap with another goal near the end of the period.
