Growing up in Souris, Emily Tuttosi loved rugby, and the star has taken that love of the game around the world, and is representing Canada at the 2025 Women's Rugby World Cup.

Starting in Souris

Going back to the beginning of her journey, Tuttosi can't remember a time where she didn't love the game of rugby. "Thankfully, Souris school had a youth rugby program," she says with a smile. "My older brother played, and I have a twin sister, and we both were pretty aggressive, so it seemed like a good sport to try. 20-some years later, here I am."

From the start of her volleyball career to now, 15-year-old Paiton Stoesz may have come to the sport a little later, but with her talent, competitiveness and love of the game, she continues to be a star.

From the ice to the court

Starting in sports, Stoesz says she actually started in a very different sport from the one she plays now. "I started off by playing hockey," the La Broquerie product says with her trademark smile. "In the winter of 2022/23, I decided to quit hockey and really focus on volleyball."

It was a very memorable experience for Swift Current's Griffin Striker in the Canada Summer Games soccer tournament.

It was a marathon and not a sprint for the Wrinkled Warriors.

The Swift Current based Slo-Pitch team won bronze at the Saskatchewan Senior Fitness 55+ Provincial Games in Swift Current.

"It was a lot of ball, a lot of heat, and a lot of fun," said Warriors player Rob Myers. "We had a great time."

They beat the Regina Ruckus 18-2 in the bronze medal game.

The Swift Current-based club went 0-3 on Day 1, falling10-4 to the Ruckus, 14-13 to the Saskatoon Silver Foxes, and 11-7 to the Saskatoon Red Aces.

Fresh off winning a bronze medal in the 400m hurdles at the Canada Summer Games, Swift Current's Carter Tuplin is off to Texas to start the next step of his junior hockey career.

Former Cochrane Generals head coach Evan McFeeters has landed a major step in his coaching career, joining the NHL’s Pittsburgh Penguins as their new roving minor league coach.

The Penguins announced Tuesday that McFeeters will work within the organization’s player development department, supporting the Penguins’ American Hockey League affiliate in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and their ECHL club in Wheeling. He’ll also work closely with the team’s development staff to help prospects grow both on and off the ice.

Estevan’s baseball community continues to shine on the national stage, thanks to the dedication of longtime umpire and mentor Kevin Culy. This summer, Culy traveled to Dartmouth, Nova Scotia to officiate at the 22U Baseball Canada Championship, marking his 10th national tournament appearance.

There’s a hint of fall in the air. Not from leaves on the ground or pumpkin spice on the shelves, but from the thud and bang of football pads on the local field as local student athletes gear up for the season ahead.

The Kindersley Kobras got things underway with two practices last week, before hitting the field on Saturday for a hot and steamy double-practice that kicked off their season for real.

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings are set to hit the ice this weekend for their main training camp, carrying the momentum from last season's run to the league finals. Head coach and general manager Cody Mapes is looking forward to seeing a competitive mix of returning veterans and new prospects battle for roster spots. 

Mapes is eager to see his veteran players take on larger roles. He specifically pointed to the growth of the team's defensemen during the postseason.
