It's been a solid year for the Deloraine Royals and as the regular season is quickly coming to an end, player Eric Sorensen believes the team is ready to build toward a solid playoff run.

For Sorensen, it's already year 10 as a member of the Royals and he says time has flown by in the best way. "It's been so much fun," he says with a smile. "Lots of learning, lots of changes with guys coming in and out. It's been a great time. The team has had some struggles here and there, but we battle through it as a group. Can't complain at all."

Through hard work, dedication and a fearless approach to facing a challenge, Aidan Harder is grinding toward becoming a bull riding star.
