The Okotoks Bisons' streak as Heritage Junior Hockey League champions has come to an end.

A 2-1 Sylvan Lake win at the Murray Arena on Thursday saw the Wranglers reclaim the title for the first time in 15 years.

Game 4, despite being the lowest scoring of the final series, saw the most shots on goal, with the Wranglers firing 29 attempts at Bisons netminder Connor White, and the Herd pelting visiting goalie Kaden Toussaint with 46 shots.

The Carstar Okotoks Bisons may have been down heading into game 3 of the HJHL final, but after a hard-fought 6-5 win, they're certainly not out.

They were in Sylvan Lake on Tuesday night (March 25) after two consecutive losses to the Wranglers in the best-of-five series.

The reigning league champion Bisons may not have had home-ice advantage in the do-or-die third game, but they quickly made their presence known, with Trevor Bonham landing a goal at the six-minute mark, and Kegan Law making it 2-0 just 90 seconds later thanks to a power play.

UPDATE:

The Davisburg bridge is still closed at 6:30 a.m. Friday as the investigation continues.  Traffic continues being re-routed.

===========================================================================================

Foothills RCMP have closed a section of Highway 552 for an investigation.

They describe the area closed as "Highway 552 near 306 Ave East just East of the single lane bridge," and that traffic is being redirected.

All directions are blocked for a police investigation which is expected to last several hours.

Let Him Go starring Kevin Costner and Diane Lane was the number one Netflix film in Canada prior to the weekend.

The film tells the story of a retired couple who recently lost their son and must rescue their young grandson from his abusive stepfather.

Scenes were shot in locations such as Calgary, High River, Drumheller, Fort Macleod, Didsbury and Bragg Creek in 2019. The movie was released in November of 2020.

Let Him Go arrived on Netflix Canada on New Year's Eve and has been climbing the charts in the last few days.

The Sheep River Health Trust’s Avenue of Trees is back.

Every November, local businesses and organizations decorate Christmas trees for the event, which are then auctioned off or donated to families in need.

This year there are 23 trees on display, 13 of which are to be auctioned, with the other 10 being “Trees of Hope,” which are donated.

It not only provides trees for families who wouldn’t have one otherwise, but also acts as a major fundraiser for the health trust, bringing in over $23,000 last year.
