Fresh off a sweep of the Churchill Trojans last weekend for the NWOSSAA crown, the Muskie senior boys’ volleyball team is en route to St. Thomas today for the all-Ontarios. And they don’t plan on just making an appearance there. In fact, the black-and-gold have their sights set on nothing […]
While being careful not to compare this year’s edition of the Muskies to the team that won all-Ontario gold here in 1989, head coach Glen Edwards admitted he’s having a tough time remembering a past squad that’s had such a dominating start. The black-and-gold improved their NorWOSSA-leading record to a […]

Ontario’s decision to drop its overnight fishing rule for non-residents will top the agenda at the Northwestern Ontario Tourism Association’s annual fall meeting and banquet Friday in Emo.

All season long, Muskie head coach Gord McCabe has told anyone who would listen that his team should be wary of the Kenora Broncos. Sure, the Muskies had beaten them five-straight times, including three during regular-season action, but the games were close for the most part. And, on any given […]
The Muskie hockey team will get a crash course in game conditioning when they open their regular-season schedule next Tuesday in Kenora.
