The Estevan Mermaids Artistic Swimming Club is diving into a new season, with registration well underway and an open invitation for families to get involved.

Club representative Kelsey Potoma said the youngest group, the Mini Mermaids, is already full, but there’s still room in both the recreation and competitive programs. “Our Mini Mermaids have already been filled up so we're really looking to fill our recreation limited and have some more people join us in our competitive program,” she explained.

The season kicked off for Weyburn Minor Football on Saturday, with two teams in action at the newly named Brent Allin Field. 

The U14 Weyburn Young Fellow Falcons earned a hard-fought 7-0 victory in a defensive showdown against the Swift Current Steelers. Both offences moved the ball effectively throughout the game, but strong defensive play kept points off the scoreboard.  

The future of the Humboldt Broncos was on display in their first preseason game on Sunday night in Melville as the Millionaires beat the Broncos 4-3 in a shootout.

Trailing 2-0 early in the second period, Boston Schmidt put the Broncos on the scoreboard with the team's first goal of the preseason.

Melville would later extend their lead to 3-1. 

With less than a second remaining in the middle frame, Gabriel Kaminski scored to cut the green and gold deficit back to one heading into the final twenty minutes.

The Moose Jaw Warriors have two exhibition games coming up. They'll play the Broncos in Swift Current on Friday night with a re-match set for Assiniboia's Southland Co-op Centre Saturday night. That game is a 5 o'clock start.

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings wrapped up training camp Monday afternoon with the annual Red and White Game at the Whitecap Resources Centre.

In a close-fought game that gave fans a glimpse of the talent competing for a roster spot, Team Red came away with a 4-3 victory over Team White.

Devon Boyle, Jacob Elliott, Ryder Rommelaere, and Emmette Yurkowski all found the back of the net for Team Red. Adam Savage Keller contributed two assists in the effort.

For Team White, Talen Lewis scored two goals, while Sawyer Aquila added one.

Back on home ice tonight against Humboldt, the Kindersley Jr. Klippers split a pair of games on their pre-season opening road trip to Alberta on the weekend. The Klippers lost 4-0 to the Drumheller Dragons on Friday night before rebounding for a 3-1 win against the Lloydminster Bobcats on Monday. 

The Estevan Sharks Water Polo Club is welcoming new players of all ages as the team gears up for another exciting season. Tracey Ward, representing the Sharks, highlighted the benefits of the sport for kids.

"It's a good way for kids to learn to swim, become strong swimmers while playing a fun team sport," Ward said.
