The bulls and horses bucked, the steers scampered, the cowboys roped and the cowgirls raced. The annual Estevan Rodeo, sanctioned by the Canadian Cowboys Association, went ahead on the weekend at the exhibition grounds.

Estevan's Auriel Bill has travelled the world for various water polo experiences, but her most recent tops them all. Bill, 18, was part of the Canadian team that won silver at the FINA World Women's Youth Championship in Madrid Aug. 25-31.

The game couldn't have started on a much better note for the Estevan Comprehensive School Elecs on Saturday.

On Aug. 22, American drivers swept the three track championships at Estevan Motor Speedway. A week later, the Canadians headed south and returned the favour.

It is billed as the largest pool tournament in the world and it certainly was unlike anything the Tap House Wolves had seen before.

Red Wings player Brandt Hudson, No. 15, reaches ahead of an Estevan Bruin defender to get the puck, to flip it over towards the net, during the Wings' preseason exhibition game on Wednesday evening at Crescent Point Place.

Coming together on Wednesday, Aug. 27, at the Carlyle Golf Course were a group of 25 youth interested in taking part in the annual Junior Golf Tournament.

Four Weyburn Red Wings players did not report to training camp and have decided to pursue post secondary or work opportunities. Joe Bristow (95 F), Cody Pettapiece (94 D), Ty McLean (95 F) and Nate Morris (94 D) will not be returning to the Wings.

It's that time of year again, that is time to look forward to the 4th Annual Flyin' High at the Eagle Showdown.

Weyburn Skating Club Canskate and PreCanskate registration night will be held on Monday, September 15. Skaters may register between 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. in the multipurpose room at the Tom Zandee Sports Arena. There are limited spaces available.
