Humboldt Broncos forward Connor Miller and Assistant Coach Carter Hansen have brought home some souvenirs from their experience with the Canada West team at the World Junior ‘A’ Challenge in Camrose, Alberta. 

On Sunday, the Canada West team defeated the Canada East team 5-2 in the bronze medal game.  

Miller picked up an assist in the win. He ended the tournament with two points (1G-1A). 

It was all about taking away time and space from the Melfort Mustangs on Friday night. Ironically, it was time that got the best of Humboldt, as following an outstanding first period, they ran out of gas in a 3-2 loss to the defending champs.

It has been nearly eight months since the Melfort Mustangs eliminated the Humboldt Broncos from the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) postseason, but the loss still has a stinging effect for the Broncos. 

After months of preparation, the St. Peter’s Chorus are gearing up for a big weekend. 

They will be performing two concerts, Friday night in Wadena at the Wadena Community Legion beginning at 7:30.  

Their annual Christmas concert in Humboldt is Sunday afternoon at the St. Augustine Church at 2:30. 

There will be a strong local content of U15 hockey players that will be taking part in the Sask First Top 160 tournament later this month.  

80 2010-born players from the North regions were selected from the regional camp held in Aberdeen this past weekend (Dec.6-8). 

A special Christmas show will arrive in Humboldt next Thursday, December 19th. 

Jeffery Straker will be performing A Very Prairie Christmas at the Legion Hall. Lady Friday will be the opening act for the evening.  

Straker has been very busy touring around the province with his Christmas performance including a pair of shows at Casino Regina and another two concerts at the Bassment in Saskatoon.  

A trip to the Wynyard was the cure for the Humboldt Broncos recent struggles against the Notre Dame Hounds. On Wednesday night the Broncos blanked the Hounds 4-0, snapping a two-game skid against Notre Dame. 

Defenceman Oakley McIlwain opened the scoring with his fifth goal of the season to provide the lone goal in the first period.  

The St. Mary’s Villa Foundation received an assist from the Humboldt Broncos Memorial Golf Tournament.  

On Tuesday, the Broncos Memorial Golf Tournament made a presentation to the Villa Foundation for a cheque for $13,000.  

Executive Director Donna Muench says the donation will be used to purchase a new tub chair lift.  

The Humboldt Broncos have dipped into the trade market. 

On Tuesday, they made a deal with the Drayton Valley Thunder of the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL), with the Broncos acquiring 19-year-old forward Zach Bansley while sending 20-year-old forward Gabriel Filion in return.
