The Agra Risk Wheatland Kings have announced when their preseason begins for the 2025/26 season.

According to a social media post made on Tuesday (June 24), the Kings announced that they'll be returning Sept. 5 for a game against the Airdrie Techmation Thunder. The Kings have their first home game set for the following day against the Thunder at the Strathmore Family Centre.

The Moose Jaw Miller Express's losing streak was extended to three games after dropping a 9-1 decision on the road against the Sylvan Lake Gulls on Tuesday night.

Moose Jaw's lone run came in the top of the first inning. William Edwards hit a double to score Thomas Soto from third base.

Sylvan Lake would tie up the game in the bottom of the first before scoring eight unanswered runs.

A strong performance by the Gulls' pitching staff allowed only four Moose Jaw hits in the entire game.

Cochrane’s own Sarah Wozniewicz is heading to the pros! The 21-year-old forward was selected in the third round, fifth overall by the Ottawa Charge in the 2025 Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) Draft, marking a major milestone in her impressive hockey journey.

From her early days on the ice in Cochrane then with the Airdrie Lightning, to becoming a standout player at Edge School and eventually the University of Wisconsin, Wozniewicz has shown relentless drive and passion for the game.

The bats cooled down a bit as the Swift Current 57's dropped their first of a six-game Alberta road swing.

They had 8 hits and 10 runners left on base in a 4-2 loss to Fort McMurray.

Adam Korte went 8 strong innings allowing 3 earned runs, striking out 8 and walking 3 in a losing cause.

Wilmer Henriquez went 3 for 5 with both RBIs for Swift Current.

Silas Hilton was 2 for 5 with a run scored.

The 57's get another crack at Fort McMurray tonight.

In a tight game that went down to the wire, the Weyburn Beavers edged out the visiting Medicine Hat Mavericks 3-2 in walk-off fashion Tuesday night at Tom Laing Park. 

Ian Heck starred on both sides of the ball, turning in six dominant innings on the mound and later driving in the winning run with a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth. Heck struck out 10 and allowed just one unearned run, holding the Mavericks in check and giving his team a chance to come back late.
