Fingers were flying, boots were stomping, and the occasional wail of delight from die hard Oiler fans and their bandwagon jumping compatriots rose through the evening din on Friday night in Watson. 

The 3rd annual Street Fest was another smashing success, with an enthusiastic turnout for the pair of great bands that played into the night. 

The East Central U15 Wolverines capped off a successful by claiming the city championship on the weekend in Saskatoon.

The Edmonton Oilers may not be on home ice when they try to clinch the Stanley Cup against the Florida Panthers on Monday night, but screams of support will resound across Canada from rinkside watch parties, bars, seniors homes and ordinary living rooms.

"We cheer them on every single game of the season," said Derrick DeMone, an Oilers fan in Sydney, N.S., who will be watching at home with his sons, aged 24, 14 and 12.

"I haven't felt like this since I was a young boy, I'll tell you that."

Edmonton Oilers fans crowd around Mary Loewen in a plaza outside the team's home arena during every playoffs game, asking to have their pictures taken with the superfan who's dressed as the Stanley Cup.

Loewen dons a sequined blazer, wears silver gloves and glasses, and covers her face in silver makeup. Then she puts on her "crown" which is meant to imitate the bowl of the famous trophy.

It has 3,500 sequins, and they were all put in by hand.

Saskatchewan as a whole is seeing a shift in weather patterns as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has announced that the current El Nino system has ended.

After having that system exist through the winter, a change in weather patterns could mean this winter will see a very different outcome.

Environment Canada Meteorologist Terri Lang talks about the changing of patterns.

Provinces are reaching out to Democrats and Republicans alike to make their case for co-operation, bolstering efforts by the federal government to ensure Canada is prepared for any outcome in the upcoming United States election.

"I see provinces and Team Canada both ramping up their efforts," said Laura Dawson, an expert on Canada-U.S. relations and the executive director of the Future Borders Coalition.
