Souch started his junior career with the Sherwood Park Crusaders during the 2022-2023 season. He would produce 35 points with 12 coming from goals during his rookie season.

Laval, Quebec-born goaltender Olivier Ciarlo has quickly become a household name for the Green Army as he has been a backbone for the Okotoks Oilers in his first season with the team.

Victoria, B.C. – The Moose Jaw Warriors will look to get back on track when they head into Victoria to face the Royals on Friday night.

Moose Jaw has lost three straight games to open up their BC Division road trip, but have been getting better with each outing.

Victoria, BC – The injury bug hit the Moose Jaw Warriors hard early in the season with some key, veteran forwards missing time.

While that led to struggles for the team, it could also pay dividends as the season progress with some younger players getting more opportunities higher in the lineup.

“It helps you get your confidence now and dip your feet into the league a bit more, you’re getting more opportunities and more looks and that’s going to give you scoring chances,” Warriors rookie forward Landen McFadden said.

Jolene Allen started wakesurfing 10 years ago and began competing in the scene shortly after.

She says she went to an event and ended up winning. Following that, she was hooked.

"Fast forward now and I actually help volunteer for the Alberta tour and I'm the head judge."

Allen also hosts a wakesurfing camp for kids at her house on Chestermere Lake in the summer.

Landmark Blues have a strong program in the Hanover Tache Junior Hockey League this year.

“I wouldn't want to play anywhere else. I've had opportunities to play elsewhere but stay loyal to Landmark because it’s a special team, special group, and I think we can do something very special this season.”
