The Humboldt Broncos have added a veteran presence in their crease.

Today, the green and gold announced the signing of 2004-born goaltender Edouard Gauthier. 

Last season, the Blainville, QC product spent time with the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada of the QMJHL, registering a 7-12-2 record with a 3.67 G.A.A. and a .885 SV%. 

Gauthier was selected by the Victoriaville Tigers in the 2020 QMJHL Draft (121st overall). 

The Watson Taekwon-Do Club is set for a new season. 

Registration is next Tuesday (August 27), Wednesday (Aug.28) and Thursday (Aug.29) nights at the Watson Civic Centre from 6-8 pm. 

With classes beginning after the long weekend in September, running three times a week, on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. 

Just because summer is winding down, that doesn't mean the weather is doing the same. 

Thunderstorm activity transpired throughout Saskatchewan on Monday night, with the east central section affected by heavy winds.  

Some of the wind damage included a tree falling on a power line near Fishing Lake.  

The Marysburg Royals competed in the Western Canadian Senior Baseball Championships in Delta BC on the weekend. 

It was a tough weekend, with the results not going the Royals way.

Their first game saw the Royals lose to the South Delta Padres 1-0

The Royals second game was a 4-3 loss to at the hands of the West Winnipeg A's.

In their third game, Marysburg was defeated by South Delta Brewers 8-4. 

To finish off the tournament, the Royals ended up with their only win, a 7-0 shutout victory over the Parkland Twins from Alberta.

With the summer days becoming shorter, harvest time is almost here.  

A wet June, followed by a hot and dry July was mostly positive for local farmers according to Local Crop Extension Specialist Ashley Kaminski, but there were also some issues.  

“We’re very grateful for the moisture that we’ve had this year and honestly crops are looking pretty good, considering what we’ve had for the last few years.” 

When he was growing up in Humboldt, there was a good chance you would have found Jacob Leicht at the outdoor rink near St. Dominic School playing hockey with his friends during the winter. 

Soon, everyone in the city will get to experience the same passion that Jacob enjoyed with a brand-new facility. 

The Canadian Football League prides itself on wild and unpredictable finishes and that could just summarize overtime in Thursday's Saskatchewan Roughriders and Ottawa Redblacks game. 

It ended in a 22-22 tie, but there were plenty of hijinks during extra time.  

Tied 13-13 after regulation, Ottawa scored on their opening possession to take a 19-13.
