Joey Payeur The Fort Frances Lakers got back to their winning ways on the weekend. But they may have to try continuing to do so for the next few games without arguably their best player this season. The No. 7-ranked Lakers snapped a season-high three-game losing streak by blanking the […]

Joey Payeur The Kenora Broncos boys’ and girls’ hockey teams left town last night with the same number of goals they had when they arrived earlier in the day after suffering back-to-back shutouts at the hands of the Muskies. First up was a 14-0 shellacking by the Muskie girls (9-1), […]
Staff The beat goes on. Four more games between the Muskies and Kenora Broncos yesterday resulted in another four wins for Fort High, which has not lost a NorWOSSA game to the Broncos this school year. In junior boys’ basketball action, the first-place Muskies (5-0) romped to a 70-33 rout […]
Staff Objects in the rearview mirror of How I Set Your Mother are not closer than they appear. The Fort Frances Women’s Volleyball League leaders widened the gap over their nearest pursuer with another maximum six-point outing last night to boost their season total to 81 points. That puts them […]
Staff Whatever plan the Boston Pizza Ball Blasters may have had to stop Bryanna Dustin last night didn’t work. Dustin netted six goals to power the Fine Foods Fury to an 11-3 romp in the Borderland Women’s Indoor Soccer League action last night at Fort High. She also rocketed to […]
Staff Better ahead than Red. So went the story of Tuesday night’s doubleheader in the Fort Frances Men’s Basketball League at J.W. Walker, which saw Team Red suffer two losses. In a hard-fought contest that went down to the wire, Team White held off Team Red 69-64. Dustin Mowe paced […]
Staff Fort Frances native Megan Carlson had a big hand in helping the Lynn University Fighting Knights capture top team honours at their first-annual Sprint Invitational in Boca Raton, Fla. on Saturday. With 705 points, the Knights easily outdistanced the second-place East Stroudsberg (Pa.) Warriors, who finished with 473. Carlson […]
Staff It was a busy weekend for the Fort Frances Girls’/Women’s Hockey Association both here and out of town. The Fort Frances Atom ‘AA’ Calder Legal Eagles hung in with the Gillons’ Atoms (FFMHA) before falling 1-0 on Saturday. Several teams from the FFGWHA then headed to Dryden for the […]
Staff The Kenora Thistles once again were a thorn in the side of the Fort Frances Bantam ‘AA’ Canadians. Jacob Frankcom netted a pair of goals, including the game-winner four minutes into the third period, to lead the host Thistles to a 3-1 win over the Canadians in the final […]
Staff They’re heading for home—and for home-ice advantage, as well. The three Muskie curling rinks served notice that they plan to defend their respective NorWOSSA titles to the end as all showed well at the league qualifier in Sioux Lookout, which wrapped up Tuesday. With only one loss each, the […]
Staff New blood in the Fort Frances Lakers’ lineup also meant a new outcome—but not the one the squad was hoping for. Former Laker Ben Smaha scored the game-winner in the third period last night as the host Dryden GM Ice Dogs won 4-2—their first in nine tries this season […]
Staff They didn’t get the results they wanted but it wasn’t from a lack of trying. The Fort Frances PeeWee ‘AA’ Canadians settled for fourth place at their home tournament this past weekend—losing a pair of games Sunday that saw them get down but never quit trying to get back […]
