A new sports league is coming to Fort Saskatchewan, and they're looking for players.

Sean Danchuk and Vlad Papuga started Warriors Cornhole earlier this month, the first league of its kind in Fort Saskatchewan. 

"We started playing in Sturgeon County out of Morinville, and everyone craved another night, so we applied for that area and we were given Fort Saskatchewan."

Danchuk has been playing cornhole recreationally for years, with 2022 being his first season playing professionally.

"Cornhole is massive in the [United States]. The growth is crazy out there," Danchuk said. "Cornhole as a whole is a very simple game."

For those unaware, cornhole is a game that involves two boards placed twenty-seven feet apart. Players stand behind the boards throwing bean bags into the boards in front of them.

Each player has four bags with one bag on the board being worth one point, while a bag in the board's hole gives three points.

"Generally, you'll play about five to six matches in an evening, and you'll always have a different partner until we get into the finals."

Their games will be taking place at the Moyer Recreation Centre in Josephburg, with the league starting on Thursday (April. 6). 

"All of the people I play with, I didn't know them before I started playing," said Danchuk. "I think it's a super social way to get out there and meet people."
