Local Sports

Hometown product Jarrett Fontaine is looking forward to the puck dropping at the Humboldt Broncos annual fall camp.

Track and field’s power couple will be making an official visit to Humboldt in September to help out a local organization.

Special Olympics Battlefords is proud to announce the accomplishments of a pair of local athletes during the 2014-2015 season.

The Battlefords North Stars front office staff did their homework in recruiting players from outside the province for the 2015-16 SJHL season, and while it’s only been one pre-season game so far, it appears they did a pretty good job.

At 7:42 p.m. Monday, Aug. 31, Battlefords RCMP responded to a complaint of a single vehicle rollover on the main grid of Red Pheasant First Nation.

The long offseason is over.

Quite obviously, it’s a disaster. With their season on life support, the Saskatchewan Roughriders came up with one of the most uninspired efforts in years Sunday in Ottawa, which ultimately led to an embarrassing 35-13 defeat.

Kirsty Kindrachuk, another in an ever growing line of Waldheim, Saskatchewan products, will be heading to Briercrest College to play on the women’s volleyball team this year.

Pass the popcorn. I swear, this 2015 season for the Saskatchewan Roughriders is like a football movie. You know, like Remember the Titans, Rudy, Any Given Sunday, When The Game Stands Tall and all the rest.

The experience of trying to decipher what the public address announcers at the North Battleford Civic Centre are saying is likely to be much improved this coming hockey season.
