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.

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. 

This Friday (August 29) marks 65 years since the first-ever home football game at Calgary’s McMahon Stadium, the long-time home of the Calgary Stampeders.

Built in just 103 days, the stadium first opened on August 15, 1960, under a 99-year lease with the City of Calgary.

Its construction was made possible thanks to a $300,000 donation from Calgary oilmen Frank and George McMahon to the University of Alberta in Calgary, which later became the University of Calgary.
