Last season, Aaron Grynol made road trips to places like Red Lake, Sioux Lookout, Kenora, and Dryden while starring as the Muskies leading scorer. This season, he’s made the jump from high school hockey in Northwestern Ontario to the junior ranks, where he now suits up with the Thunder Bay […]
While the Muskies have had little trouble with NorWOSSA opponents so far this season, they continue to have their share of woes against teams from south of the border.

The last time Chris Buchan made a trip to Fort Frances to curl, he earned a berth to the Brier. After Saturday’s 11-6 win over Dave MacInnes in the final of the provincial mixed playdowns here, Buchan once again will be off in search of a national title. With two […]
