The Humboldt Broncos fell into a daunting 0-2 hole in the first-round playoff series to the Flin Flon Bombers with a 4-2 loss on Saturday night, but you ask anyone inside that green and gold dressing room, this is still going to be a long series.

5-on-5, the Broncos had the Bombers exactly where they wanted them in Game 2. A relentless offensive-zone forechecking attack put pressure on Bombers blueliners. They scored the game’s opening goal. They had a lead going into the second period, and they had quieted an often impossible-to-mute Whitney Forum crowd.

I remember a few years back, in the summer of 2020 feeling the need to get away on a little motorcycle trip. It was the preliminary stages of the covid crisis with a lot of uncertainty and confusion including the actions taken that were to mitigate the spread of the virus.

Aaron Behiel, Chair of the HDHF, joined us this morning for a special announcement and to kick off day one of the Equip to Care Radiothon.

Today, during the launch of the Equip to Care Radiothon, Aaron Behiel, Chair of the Humboldt District Health Foundation (HDHF), announced that the Humboldt District Hospital Foundation will now be known as the Humboldt District Health Foundation.  

It was a sensational weekend on the courts for HCAA teams at Hoopla this weekend.  

Wynyard took the gold medal in 3A girls' action, dispatching Regina Christian in a semifinal and defeating Indian Head 69-53 in a strong showing. Lanigan also medalled with the bronze match victory over Regina Christian.  

St. Brieux 2A girls bested Wilkie in a breathtaking 49-47 finish to take the provincial championship. 

The Humboldt District Hospital Foundation is hosting its annual Equip to Care Radiothon from March 24 to 27, bringing the community together to raise funds for critical hospital equipment upgrades.

With a fundraising goal of $905,750, the radiothon will be broadcast live, featuring interviews with healthcare professionals, donors, and community leaders who will highlight the impact of local support on patient care.

Liberal Leader Mark Carney will try to inject some Canadian symbolism and pride to his election campaign today with a stop in Gander, Nfld.

The town in northeastern Newfoundland famously fed and housed thousands of passengers — most of them Americans — when flights were grounded after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States.

Carney's chief opponents, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, will campaign in the seat-rich Greater Toronto Area.

AAFC Researchers at the Lethbridge Research and Development Centre want to turn Canadian agriculture’s value chains into value circles.  

Dr. Emma Stephens and a team of data analysts are taking the most comprehensive look yet at Canada’s entire agriculture and agri-food industry, from the field, to processing and exports, to the end use by consumers.

"What that means is looking for additional value-added opportunities within our agri-food value chain through co-products and current waste byproducts to find additional ag-based resources," she explained.
