Two Winnipeggers will soon be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in November.

Three-time Stanley Cup winner, Duncan Keith, along with gold medal Olympian, Jennifer Botterill are two of the eight in the 2025 induction class. 

"Wow! Thank you for this incredible honour!" Botterill said on social media. "Thank you to the Hockey Hall of Fame and the HHOF selection committee. I am filled with gratitude! From the moment I received the call yesterday to the kind messages and warm congratulations that have followed, I’ve been truly overwhelmed by the love and support."

A brand new 26-bed transitional care unit in the North End is now open at Holy Family Home. 

Health, Seniors and Long-Term Care Minister Uzoma Asagwara said in a news release. “This new unit will provide high-quality, appropriate level of care to seniors who have left the hospital and are awaiting admission into a personal care home.”

Manitoba's Strongest Man is moving up the ladder. 

After competing in the nationals and taking first place and then second place at Western Canada's Strongest Man, Andrew Langelaar has now punched his ticket to Canada's Strongest Man. 

"This will make me the sixth Manitoban to ever go. So, it's pretty cool," said Langelaar. "It was a two- or three-year timeline goal, not a rookie year timeline goal. So, a little bit overwhelming."

Langelaar says the goal has always been to compete at the highest level possible. 

A 53-year-old man has been charged with five counts of robbery after robbing five convenience stores over four hours. 

Between 12:45 a.m. and 4:47 a.m. on Wednesday, the suspect drove to several convenience stores and demanded money from the cash registers while either armed with a knife or implying he had a weapon. 

In each incident, he left with an undisclosed amount of cash, and in one case, a cordless phone.
