Seven talented young hockey players from the Estevan TS&M bantam AA Bruins have been selected to play in the SaskFirst tournament later this month. Two defencemen were selected for the team: Alec Waldegger of Estevan and Colby Durr of Bromhead.

It wasn’t the most wide-open game of curling ever seen but Brad Jacobs will take the Home Hardware Canada Cup win over Kevin Koe any day of the week. “I think (third) Marc (Kennedy) said it best: nice, boring final,” said Jacobs.

With a soild first end, Northern Ontario's Brad Jacobs has assumed the early lead at the men's final of the Home Hardware Canada Cup. Jacobs leads 3-2 over Kevin Koe at the fifth end break Sunday night at Affinity Place.

It’s difficult, but not impossible, to come back and win after being down by three. But when that lead is three in the tenth end, and your opposing skip is Jennifer Jones, it’s downright impossible.

Red Wings player Jacob Piller watched as the puck deflected up off his stick to hit the glass, during play versus the Melville Millionaires on Saturday evening at Crescent Point Place.

After five ends, there’s not a lot separating two of the top rinks in Canada as Jennifer Jones is taking on Kerri Einarson in the women’s final of the Home Hardware Canada Cup in Estevan. Jones leads Einarson 4-3 after five ends at Affinity Place.

When it’s not your game, it’s just not your game. And the women’s semifinal of the Home Hardware Canada Cup at Affinity Place was not Rachel Homan’s game.

With his last stone in the eighth end Saturday afternoon, Brad Gushue watched his draw attempt crawl past the four-foot, past the eight-foot and beyond Kevin Koe’s stone.

A player from Moose Jaw Excelsior FC (in white) went up against a Weyburn Devil player (in red), Sara Scherr, during an exhibition match for under-11 teams held at the Cugnet Centre on Dec. 8.

With his last shot in the 10th end Saturday morning, there wasn’t a large hole to go through, but when you’re Kevin Koe you can find those holes.
