Sometimes while in the United States, one might feel a bit like a stranger in a strange land, but the Estevan atom Warriors felt close to home last weekend in Minot, N.D.

He may be more known for his two-person curling, but Saskatoon’s Dustin Kalthoff was able to secure a spot at this year’s SaskTel Tankard with a win at the Power Dodge Curling Centre on the Saskatchewan Men’s Curling Tour (SCT).

The Power Dodge Estevan Bruins are entering a break in the schedule on a disappointing note.

Estevan’s Megan LeBlanc was named the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference Female Athlete of the Week for Dec. 2-8.

The Estevan Meter peewee AA Bruins are sometimes able to score in bunches this year, which was just what they needed Sunday.

One of Canadian curling’s premier events - the Home Hardware Canada Cup - is coming to Estevan this week with some of the best in the country battling it out on the Affinity Place ice.

The idea that the Home Hardware Canada Cup might lead to other curling events is not a far-fetched one, but it isn’t something that’s going to happen overnight. Or, likely, for even a year.

It’s been several months in the making but the final steps of preparation will put Affinity Place at the centre of the Canadian curling world for nearly a week.

A massive power failure that hit southern Saskatchewan Tuesday morning has affected the ice making preparations at the Home Hardware Canada Cup.
