Hockey Saskatchewan has announced the top 34 players in the Sask First U15 program to determine the players that will represent the province in the 2025 WHL Cup. 

The announcement comes following the Top 80 camp that was held in Balgonie last weekend. 

Two local players have made the list, defenceman Kohen Ruedig of Humboldt and Kash Elke of Lanigan.  

Humboldt Big Brothers and Big Sisters knocked it out of the park, one strike at a time with their Bowl for Kids Fundraiser. 

With over 100 bowlers taking part in the event last week (Feb.10-14), they were able to raise $18,000.  

Program Lead Jillina Beaudoin says they received a big helping hand from the Muenster School. 

There are plenty of mixed emotions for Head Coach/General Manager of the Humboldt Broncos Brayden Klimosko regarding the Notre Dame Hounds pending relocation to Warman for the 2025-26 Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) season.  

The preparations for the upcoming 2025-26 season continue for the Humboldt Broncos. 

On Wednesday, the Broncos announced the commitment of 2007-born forward Austin Polonoski.  

Currently in his second season with the Pilot Mound Academy’s U18 Prep Program, the 6’2 185 lb, where he has collected 55 points (14g-41a) in 34 games.  

With warm weather in the forecast, Sunday will be the perfect opportunity to celebrate wonders of winter in Wakaw.  

The town will be holding a community celebration for the grand opening of the warmup chalet at the outdoor rink on Dr. Scott Crescent.  

The Spring sitting of the Saskatchewan Legislative Assembly will begin on Wednesday March 19 with the tabling of the 2025-26 Provincial Budget.

Premier Scott Moe says the session and budget will focus on delivering for Saskatchewan people. 

Provincials

In Senior ‘A’ provincials, the Drake Canucks were eliminated by the Loreburn 19ers on Saturday as Loreburn defeated Drake 6-5, winning the best of three series 2-0.  

The Wynyard Monarchs now know their opponent in the second round of provincials following a first-round bye, as they will meet the Round Lake Bears. The Bears advanced with a two-game sweep of the Balcarres Broncs. 

Friday: Battlefords 5 Humboldt 1

The Broncos may want to immediately throw out the game tape from Friday’s 5-1 loss to the Battlefords North Stars, and after a 9-game point streak, they’ve had a small set back, dropping two-straight.

It came down to effort at the Access Communications Centre, Battlefords simply wanted it more. It was no surprise the North Stars were hungry entering the game as the Broncos handed them a 10-3 beatdown in the meeting prior. The surprising part was Humboldt didn’t seem ready for it.

After 38 years in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL), the Notre Dame Hounds are set to move to Warman for the 2025-26 season. 

The SJHL has conditionally approved the move, with the relocation contingent upon approval from the Warman’s City Council along with a successful season ticket drive and corporate sponsorship drive. 

Following a busy couple of days, the free agency frenzy has slowed down in the Canadian Football League (CFL). 

The Saskatchewan Roughriders weren’t the busiest team in the market, but they were able to bolster their lineup that has positioned them as one of the favourites for the 2025 CFL season.
