Staff A superb Saturday gave way to a sobering Sunday for Steve Arpin. The Fort Frances native was on top of the world–and the standings–after winning his second-straight final during the Red Bull Global Rallycross circuit’s inaugural visit to Canada. After winning the feature on the second of two days […]
Staff Tara Allaire was running on empty but held firm to her place in the top five. The Emo resident put in a fantastic effort to finish fourth in her 31-runner division, and 12th out of 176 women overall, in the marathon division of the Manitoba Marathon on Sunday in […]

Thomas, a resident of Peguis First Nation in Manitoba and a friend of Lightning member Chris […]

Staff White Lightning discovered the “Wright” stuff when it needed to most. Evan Wright scored his fourth goal of the game 15 seconds into overtime to give White Lightning an 11-10 victory over Banana Splits in Game 2 of their best-of-three UNFC Champions Cup age seven-nine division lacrosse series Monday […]
Staff Offence was hard to come by for CJ Contracting in its first two games, but that seemed hard to believe Monday night. Five different goal scorers bulged the twine to help CJ (1-2) to a 5-3 win over Pharmasave in Borderland Soccer League men’s division action. Caleb Koomans, Kevin […]
