Mateychuk’s Warriors advance in WHL playoffs
2 minute read 1:55 PM CDTThe Moose Jaw Warriors are cruising into the Western Hockey League semi-finals.
Two Eastman captains, in Dominion City’s Denton Mateychuk and St Adolphe’s Owen Pickering, faced off in the league quarterfinals, with Mateychuk’s Moose Jaw squad advancing after winning the series 4-1.
Swift Current was able to take the first game of the series, but were quickly dispatched just four games later. Mateychuk tallied at least a single point in every game but game four. He even notched the game-winning goal in game three right as the second period ended, capping off a three-point night in spectacular fashion.
Mateychuk and Pickering were both named stars of the game in Moose Jaw’s 5-3 victory, scoring back-to-back goals in the first and second period.

4 minute read Sunday, Apr. 21, 2024O.J Simpson is dead. The NFL star running back, NCAA Heisman trophy winner, advertising pitch man, and movie star is no longer with us.
Oh, and he also happened to be the central figure in the 1994 murder trial of the century, when he was accused of brutally killing his ex-wife and her friend. If you believe in an afterlife, given the overwhelming evidence of his guilt it’s pretty safe to say it’s really hot where O.J. is right now.
Trump always makes everything about himself, and so he of course used the news of O.J.’s death to talk about himself. Here is his verbatim quote from his failing social media site.
“The great O.J. Simpson used to play football with me. Not many people know that because I don’t like to boast. He could never outrun me, though – have you ever seen blisters on my feet? No blisters. He used to say: ‘Sir, you are a great runner, probably the best there ever has been. Also, thank you, sir, for playing ball with a black man.’ He had tears in his eyes that day.”

6 minute read Wednesday, Apr. 17, 2024It wasn't easy, but the Steinbach Pistons will be playing in their third consecutive Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL) Championship.
The Pistons took down the Blizzard in game seven of their semi-final series with a pair of second period goals the difference in a hotly contested series.
Cole Plowman, who started all seven games of the series for Steinbach recorded his first career MJHL shutout in the victory. It was a redemptive performance for the netminder, who let in two last-minute go-ahead goals on home ice earlier in the series.
"I wasn't really happy with my full performance over the series so it's really huge to get a game seven shutout," Plowman said after the game.
