The Estevan Bruins’ third annual Glow Golf Tournament lit up Hidden Valley Golf & RV Resort this past weekend, drawing a sold-out field and plenty of community spirit.

With more than 30 teams participating, the tournament showcased local business teams and community members enjoying a day of golf, camaraderie, and friendly competition. The event featured a unique twist: the front nine holes were played during the day, while the back nine took place after sunset, with fairways and golf carts lit up in creative glow-in-the-dark decorations.

The schedule is heating up while the ice is cooling off at Crescent Point Place, as the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings gear up for another action-packed hockey season. 

Fall Camp kicks off the on-ice activity, running from August 29th to September 1st. The top 40 players will then participate in the Eric Calibaba Cup on September 1st at 3 p.m. Fans can take advantage of $5 admission and a game day 50/50 for the first game of the preseason.

The Carlyle Cardinals fought hard to finish out their season at the 2025 Senior AA Western Canadian Baseball Championships in Westlock, Alberta. The team had previously secured titles for the Saskota Baseball League and the provincial tournament.

Coach and player Brent McLean talks about their performance over the weekend.
