Baseball is about as old a summer pastime on the prairies as lacing up the skates in winter is – and though baseball might not garner the widespread rural following hockey does these days, the roots of baseball in Saskatchewan are integral province’s athletic tradition.

Upholding such a tradition for the better part of a century has been the Sask-Alta Baseball League and the various teams from around the southwest that it encompasses. One of the league’s oldest members, the Richmound Rockets, will be hosting a Rockets’ reunion weekend ...]]></description>

Being told you’d never walk again would be a devastating piece of news to cope with.
Chad Jassman of Burstall lost the use of his legs after vehicle accident in 2006. As a means of transitioning into a new way of life Jassman zeroed in on wheelchair basketball.

When local athletes hit the national or international sporting stage it is typically hockey they excel in. Rarely does one hear of a local individual making waves within the basketball world.
But when the entire spectrum of the sporting world encompasses one’s life ...]]></description>

As Maple Creek gets set to host their annual Pro Rodeo on May 27-29, excitement is brewing in the Southwest as summer eases in and area residents prepare for one of the community’s premier events. In the cowboy country surrounding and comprising Maple Creek, it is of little surprise that the underground sport of rodeo-ing is a mainstay sport, hobby and pastime.
Historically speaking, the sport makes sense too – rewinding to the early years of Confederation, the Maple Creek area was of course infamous for housing Fort Walsh, ...]]></description>

The prairies have always been a hotbed for breeding professional hockey players of NHL calibre and in the past few years southwest Saskatchewan has been responsible for producing multiple players who have laced up in the NHL.
From Maple Creek’s Zack Smith who enjoyed a brief but successful stint with the Ottawa Senators this season, to Fox Valley’s Stephen Meyer, a Florida Panthers draft pick, hometown talent is anything but scarce.
Lately, Brooks Laich, whose family roots stem from Leader, has risen to prominent status for the NHL’s Washington Capitals. ...]]></description>

Reno Rodeo is coming back to Consul in 2010 for its third annual event, but this time, it has a special title – award-winning. In what was just its second year, the Consul Reno Rodeo won the 2009 Canadian Cowboy Association (CCA) rodeo of the year award, a title coveted by every CCA rodeo in Canada.


The rodeo is put on by Reno Rodeo and Ag Society, formed in 2008 by Randy Stokke, Dan Black, Carl Parsonage, Travis Erickson, Scott Pridmore, John Beierbach and Doug Richards.

Five local athletes at the midget level were invited to join Team Southwest for the Saskatchewan Winter Games held at Moose Jaw from Feb. 14-20, 2010, simultaneous to the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games Feb. 12-28, 2010.
Fox Valley’s Dylan Koch, who plays for the Apache Midget Blues, scored four goals and six assists.
&#8220;It was fun, I enjoyed it. Playing with different guys takes some getting used to, but I adjusted pretty well and I liked my line mates,” said Koch.

VANCOUVER &#8211; If I’ve learned one thing from covering the Olympics in Vancouver it’s that a scribble pad makes an impeccable umbrella. 
And on Feb. 26, a day after Canada’s women’s hockey team achieved golden status, I dodged rain drops with my note pad as I rushed with anticipation towards Team Canada’s drizzly downtown press conference.
Since a hockey roster is a large entity, only four Canadian women’s hockey players were in attendance and they included Jennifer Botterill, Jayna Hefford, Caroline Oulette and the ...]]></description>

If TSN’s Off the Record and CTV’s political broadcast Powerplay were ever to be combined into one show and Stephen Harper named the host, it would be eerily similar to the 50th Annual Kinsmen Sports Celebrity Dinner that took place in Saskatoon on Feb. 5.
During his voyage to the prairies, Stephen Harper upheld notions of democracy not as a politician but as a journalist, as the prime minister interviewed two legends of hockey: none other than Wayne Gretzky and Gordie Howe.
“He’s like this all the time. He’s like ...]]></description>

He thought he was going to lace up to play hockey against the NHL alumni attending the April 10 Maple Creek 4-on-4 Celebrity Hockey Tournament.
But 67-year-old Guy Murphy was surprised to learn he’ll be playing as an honourary NHL celebrity during the All-Star game.
“He was called up to play in the NHL and actually went to the try-out camp for the Detroit Red Wings but somehow in the way he understood things he decided not to go play,” explained Connie Burton, event co-chair, adding the respected cowboy and ...]]></description>

WHISTLER, B.C. – The Olympics are here. The seven-plus years of planning and organizing have finally culminated in a two week party for Vancouver and all of Canada. With all the negativity and protest cries surrounding the Olympics, one has to wonder what is really happening on ground zero in Vancouver and Whistler.
Wicked Whistler atmosphere
Most grievances boil down to financial woes the Olympics are incurring and others surround human rights. Are budget needs being met? And if not, how badly will they skyrocket above expectations? What are happening ...]]></description>
