One more hockey story before we switch over to the Ball Report.

After finishing his college career at the University of Minnesota, former Kindersley Jr. Klippers goaltender Justen Close caught on with the ECHL's Jacksonville Icemen this season, and the 26-year-old goaltender turned in a great season with a 16-10-2 record, 2.32 GAA, and .932 SV% in 29 games played.

Close was rewarded on Wednesday for his standout season, earning the goalie spot on the ECHL's 2024-25 All-Rookie Team.

From a golf course to scenic views, the Lakes of Muirfield offers plenty to residents.

The community, located in the Hamlet of Lyalta has a new developer, and is eager to show off its offerings.

"We are launching a new phase and we're also opening the presentation centre," said Heather Dougall, vice-president of sales and marketing with Royal LePage.

There will be refreshments and beverages on Saturday, April 12, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. at 1 Muirfield Boulevard. Residents can check which lots are available in the new phase.

Strathmore residents are being encouraged to get out and shop this weekend.

The Parade of Garage Sales, will be held in town on Saturday, April 12.

The Strathmore Municipal Library will be set up handing out hot chocolate and coffee for $1, along with items for sale at their table.

Ann Horn, chair of the library board, said the facility got involved with the event this year to help with fundraising.

Rush forward Brock Haley is having himself quite the rookie season. Through 15 games played, he has recorded 16 goals and 24 assists.  

The Saskatchewan Rush have 11 wins and 5 losses and are currently in second place in the NLL standings. Haley says part of the reason the team is so successful is because everyone has bought in.

It's Throwback Thursday - just a minute to remember the good ol' Days.

I'm thinking about hockey today as families from across Saskatchewan come to Moose Jaw for the EPIC Hockey Spring Ice Melt Tournament. 65 teams will compete for four days. It's all about opportunity and development for young athletes who want to get better at the game they play.

When I was growing up and playing hockey back in the 70s, we didn't have spring hockey. Oh, there were some summer hockey schools in late August but nothing like this.
