The Saskatchewan Selects Football Club will be hosting a skills development camp for players and coaches in Weyburn on May 16th from 5 to 9 p.m. on the Weyburn Minor Football Field.

According to Matt Sheridan, former CFL defensive lineman with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, who is in charge of Community Outreach for Sask Selects, "this is not your typical football camp." 

Cochrane’s Ethan Neutens and Kaden McCann contributed to the scoring in the Medicine Hat Tigers’ win in the opening game of the WHL championship.

The Tigers limited the Spokane Chiefs to a powerplay goal in a 4–1 win Friday in front of a packed house at Co-op Place in Medicine Hat.

Neutens scored the Tigers’ third goal early in the third period, assisted by McCann and Misha Volotovskii.

The Strathmore Spartans senior boys' rugby team are heading to Medicine Hat on Saturday, May 10.

The event is a 7's tournament, with the team spending the entire day playing games in Medicine Hat.

Following the tournament, the team will be playing on May 12 in Okotoks before returning to Strathmore on May 21.

After their last home game, the Spartans will be playing in zone finals before moving onto provincials.

It’s the dream of any emerging rugby player to train in a global hotbed of the sport.

Trinity Western University (TWU) Spartans player Caleb Graham is living that dream. The well-known rising talent is among five Spartans spending eight weeks at the prestigious Crusaders International Academy in Christchurch, New Zealand.

The Winnipeg Jets responded with urgency in Game 2 of their second-round playoff series, taking an early lead and maintaining control throughout a 4–0 win over the Dallas Stars to even the series at one game apiece.

The Jets played much more like the Jets of the regular season, and that goes for Connor Hellebuyck as well. He would end up stopping 21 shots on his way to a shutout. It's his fourth playoff shutout of his career, and his first since 2021. Hellebuyck now has a record of 18-1-1 in the last 20 home games.

The 2025 WHL Prospects Draft took place this past week, as the Regina Pats selected phenom and hometown boy Maddox Schultz with the first overall pick. The league used Wednesday for the first round and then completed the draft Thursday with rounds 2-15, taking place after an expansion draft for the new franchise out of Penticton and U.S Priority Draft.

It was a Riderville revival last year as Head Coach Corey Mace was able to inject a cultural change, leading the Roughriders to a second-place finish in the West with a 9-8-1 record along with a home playoff game.  

This year, the expectations will be heightened for the green and white as they try and win the first Grey Cup since 2013.
