Joey Payeur Jackson Browne could have provided the soundtrack for the Fort Frances Lakers this past Friday because they certainly were running on empty. With just 15 skaters to start the game due to a spate of recent injuries and 13 by the end of the game because of two […]
Staff Somebody is going to blink first today. It will be a battle of unbeatens this afternoon when the Thunder Bay rink skipped by Dylan Johnston, featuring Devlin’s Mike Badiuk and Travis Showalter from Nestor Falls, faces defending Olympic men’s champion Brad Jacobs (Sault Ste. Marie) at the Northern Ontario […]
Staff Amy Wilson-Hands’ heavy-handed collective served up a heaping dish of disarray to the Kenora Broncos. With some top-flight work behind the service line, the Muskie senior girls’ volleyball team powered past the Broncos 3-1 (27-25, 25-10, 22-25, and 25-11) in NorWOSSA action Tuesday at Fort High.
