Staff Wake up, Maggie, I think I’ve got something to say to you—you’ve got a pretty amazing scoring touch. Maggie Jean netted six goals in a 7-2 win for the Wright Physiotherapy Rockettes over the Boston Pizza Ball Blasters in Borderland Women’s Indoor Soccer League play last night at Fort […]

Staff Happy early birthday to “The Marine Machine”. Two days before turning 18, Fort Frances native Megan Carlson notched two victories for the Lynn University Fighting Knights (Boca Raton, Fla.) in their dual meet against the host Rollins University Tars (Winter Park, Fla.) on Saturday. Carlson was first in the […]
Staff It’s been lights out for anyone trying to dim Team Black’s ambitions of victory so far this season in the Fort Frances Men’s Basketball League. Josh Mastin netted 41 points to carry Team Black to a 97-75 win over Team Red on Tuesday at J.W. Walker School. John Sivonen […]
Staff The Fort Frances Bantam Leafs needed either two more goals or one less two-player crash. Ava Miller scored 10 seconds into overtime to give the Minneapolis Storm a 3-2 win in the Leafs’ last game in the 15UB bracket at the St. Luke’s Icebreaker Invitational tournament in Duluth on […]
Staff It’s not like they don’t see each other enough on home ice. But the hockey gods have a strange sense of humour sometimes. The Fort Frances Midget ‘A’ #1 and #2 teams took their in-town rivalry on the road over the weekend at the Robin’s Minor Hockey Classic Tournament […]
Staff The Fort Frances Lions were the queens of the jungle this past week in Fort Frances Girls’/Women’s Hockey Association action. Marissa Kenny had both goals as the Lions edged the Emo Express 2-1 on Friday. The next day, Kenny again netted a pair, while Jersey Rose got the other […]

Staff A pair of local bowlers led the way at the Open zone roll-offs in Kenora over the weekend. Jeff Watts finished the two-day, 20-game showdown with a 4,621 total (231 average) to top the 19 men vying for the nine berths up for grabs at the provincial championships March […]
Joey Payeur The young gun saw the old sharpshooter reloading and decided to unload his entire arsenal. Kenora’s Jordan Olsen derailed a comeback bid by four-time champion Ben Andrusco (Fort Frances) on Sunday—winning 3-1 (11-9, 13-11, 8-11, and 11-9) to capture the men’s ‘A’ Open division of the annual La […]
Joey Payeur In the 48 hours between their season-high third-straight loss and their return to home ice, Wayne Strachan devised a pretty foolproof plan to get his Fort Frances Lakers out of their doldrums. Score early, score lots, and don’t forget to look after one’s own goalie. For the most […]
Staff Nick Minerva’s league-imposed holiday will be a short one. The Fort Frances Lakers’ defenceman received an automatic one-game suspension from the SIJHL after incurring a game misconduct inside the final 10 minutes of the third period of Saturday’s 5-2 win over the visiting Dryden GM Ice Dogs. But Minerva […]
Staff It was a big day in “Big D” for the Muskie court teams yesterday. Fort High took three out of four matches against the host Dryden Eagles in the final NorWOSSA action before the exam break. The Muskie senior boys’ basketball team clinched first place—and a bye to the […]
