Kindersley native Gracie Georgete laced up her first skates at age three and started playing hockey at five, a love for the sport that has only grown over the years. Now, she’s making waves in the Saskatchewan Women’s Junior Hockey League (SJWHL) with the Western Prairie Junior Klippers, a team she joined in its inaugural season last year.

Georgete shared her thoughts on the team’s early progress and her excitement about the season. “We’ve had a strong start so far,” Gracie said. “It’s been great to see, and I think we’ll only get better as we keep going.”

They've done it again.
