Brady Holtvogt's strong start in his rookie season with the Humboldt Broncos earned the local product some recognition as he was named the IKS Media Rookie of the Week (Nov.4-10).  

In his lone game last week, Holtvogt made 31 saves to help lead the Broncos to a 3-2 win over the Melville Millionaires on Saturday in Melville.  

 
The high school football season came to an end on Saturday, with provincial finals across Saskatchewan ranging from six-man, nine-man and twelve-man. 

The Wakaw Warriors fell short in their attempt to win a provincial championship in 2A six-man football as they were defeated by the Clavet Cougars 90-51.  

Saturday’s loss was the first for Wakaw this season, while Clavet capped off a perfect 2024 season winning six regular season games and three playoff contests.  

There was progress made by the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 2024, but not enough to relish in championship glory, as the green and white’s season ended on Saturday with a 38-22 loss to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.  

Roughriders quarterback Trevor Harris was 25/44 with 283 passing yards with a touchdown. Receiver Kian Schaffer-Baker had 12 catches for 162 receiving yards. 

A couple of changes to the Saskatchewan Roughriders roster as they head to Winnipeg on Saturday in the Western Final with a berth to the Grey Cup on the line.  

Left tackle Trevor Reid will miss this week’s game due to a knee injury. Reid started in each of the Roughriders 18 regular season games and last week’s Western semifinal against BC. Reid was the team’s nominee for Most Outstanding Rookie this season.  

With plenty of rest this week, the Humboldt Broncos will embark on a busy weekend with a pair of games on the road.  

Saturday night will see the Broncos venture to Melville to tangle with the Millionaires. This will be a rematch from last Saturday’s contest where Humboldt beat Melville 6-3. Defenceman Tre Fouquette had four points (1G-3A) and forward Marik Mamic chipped in with three points (2G-1A).

Fresh off leading Team SJHL at the Western All-Star Showcase in Warman this week, Broncos Assistant Coach Carter Hansen will have additional responsibilities soon.  

Hansen has been named the video coach for Team Canada West for the World Junior A Challenge that will be in Camrose in December. 

During the All-Star Showcase, Hansen led the team from the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) to a two-game split against the Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL). 

The Canadian Football League (CFL) announced their All-CFL team recognizing the top players at each player throughout the 2024 season.  

Five members of the Saskatchewan Roughriders were selected, with four players on defence and one on offence.  

After three days, the Western All-Star Showcase has wrapped up in Warman.  

The three-day event saw a roster of 20 players from the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) compete against the Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL) in a pair of exhibition games as a part of a selection camp to determine 20 spots for the Canada West team training camp for the World Junior A Challenge.  

One week remains until the final day of voting for the Municipal election in Humboldt. 

Larry Jorgenson is one of ten candidates vying for the six counicllor positions on the City Council.
