Veteran local squasher Bob Tkachuk showed the young guns he hasn’t lost a step, winning the annual Boxing Day tournament here yet again with a 3-0 sweep over Benji Andrusco in the ‘A’ final. Tkachuk breezed through the 16-player field without a loss Sunday, blanking Michael Whitehead, Toby Munro, and […]
The Emo Cowboys scored twice in each of the first and second periods to hand the visiting Oddfellows (Fort Frances) a 4-2 loss. Jeremy Hyatt led the way with a hat trick while Jason Caul added the other for Emo. Scott Grynol and Terry Kellar netted third-period goals for the […]
Managing just 13 shots–including none in the second period–in a 3-0 loss to the International Falls Broncos across the river last Friday night, it would be easy to say the Muskie offence took an early Christmas vacation. On the bright side, defensively the Muskies killed off a pair of minor […]
A 23-8 first-quarter run paced the Muskies to an easy 73-44 win over the host Kenora Broncos in NorWOSSA senior boys’ basketball action yesterday afternoon. The black-and-gold, who improved to 2-0 in regular-season play with the victory, once again were led by the talented tandem of John Sivonen and Evan […]
As snowmobilers take to the trails this winter, many are doing so with the misconception they do not need a trail permit. But Rick Socholotuk, trail co-ordinator for the Sunset Country Snowmobile Club here, said many people have been misinformed about not having to buy a permit to ride trails. […]
The difference between victory and defeat often came down to one shot for Bryan Bonot at the provincial senior playdowns in Kirkland Lake last week. In fact, if the Stratton rink would have won their final game of the six-team round-robin against Wayne Lowe (North Bay), they would have forced […]
Nothing beats getting off to a fast start. The Muskies did just that in all three of their games–including in the final against the Hillcrest Colts (Thunder Bay)–to capture the inaugural Rendez-Vous Tip-Off here over the weekend. The black-and-gold were firing on all cylinders Saturday night against Hillcrest en route […]
Any talk of the Muskies going undefeated this season went crashing out the window here Friday night as they dropped a 7-5 decision to the Baudette Bears. And if you talk to veteran assistant coach Ken Christiansen, the loss–which left the Muskies 8-1 overall (6-0 in NorWOSSA play)–probably was a […]
After six years of plying his trade as the golf pro at Kitchen Creek, Gord Workum has decided to swing his career in another direction–as head pro at the private Pine Ridge Golf and Country Club in Winnipeg. “I loved this place, I’m sure going to miss it,” said Workum, […]
After watching his Muskie senior girls’ volleyball team take part in their first tournament action of the season, veteran head coach Rick Wiedenhoeft admits he isn’t quite sure how good the squad will be this year. The Muskies are coming off a third-place showing in Thunder Bay last weekend–finishing second […]
Despite beating the Dryden Eagles 3-1 in their best-of-five match to open the NorWOSSA season here yesterday afternoon, Muskie senior girls’ head coach Rick Wiedenhoeft was less than impressed with his team’s play. In fact, he said it probably would have been better for his team if they had lost. […]
