Joey Payeur Byron Stewart wasn’t even attempting any false bravado. “I’m exhausted,” grinned the worn-out, but happy defenceman who played more than 30 minutes as one of only three blueliners to finish the game as the Muskies toughed out a 5-0 victory over the Sioux Lookout Warriors in Game 1 […]
Staff Defensive duels haven’t exactly been the norm this season for the Wright Physiotherapy Rockettes. But they proved last night they can play as well around their own net as they have around the other teams’ goal like most of this season. Mary Waghorn’s first goal was the game-winner as […]
