Soccer regionals took place across the province on the weekend and four schools from the Northwest made it through their regional tournaments and are set for provincials this weekend. John Paul II hosted the 2A boys' and girls' regional draws.

It was a great two weeks of soccer for the Humboldt Collegiate Institute Mohawks senior girls' soccer team. The girls played their first game of the week on October 13 against the Lake Lenore Lancers. They won the game 4-2.

The same day Graham Hildebrand learned he was the goaltender of the week he turned in his third Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League shutout and second at the Civic Centre against the La Ronge Ice Wolves.

It was a sad week for Humboldt Broncos fans. It all started with a game against the Flin Flon Bombers on October 18 at the Elgar Petersen Arena.

Penalties, execution errors and missed opportunities added up last Saturday as the Humboldt Collegiate Institute (HCI) Mohawks faced the Clavet Cougars for the third time this season in nine-man football action.

The Huskies are back-to-back North Battleford Men's Touch Football League champions. The Huskies were first throughout the regular season with just one loss and they continued their winning ways Sunday taking the final 15-6 over the Gophers.

Saturday and Sunday the Battlefords AAA Sharks had a rematch with Notre Dame, who they played in the first round of playoffs the last two seasons. Revenge would've been sweet, but that wasn't the case.

Statement made. The North Battleford Comprehensive High School Vikings ended their regular season Thursday in Saskatoon against Mount Royal and did so in convincing fashion.

Goaltender Graham Hildebrand came within .4 seconds of making it a perfect weekend for the Battlefords North Stars. That was how far away Hildebrand was from a shutout Friday night against the Nipawin Hawks.

The Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League released its list of players of the week and there was no shortage of Battlefords North Stars.
