Joey Payeur There are no guarantees in life—except for the fact at least two Fort Frances junior curling rinks will have a shot at a provincial championship. Four squads will compete in the women’s division and two in the men’s when the local curling club hosts the Region 1 playdowns […]
Joey Payeur The game was wallowing in a muddy pool of wailing whistles. Leave it to the Muskie boys’ hockey team to power their way through the puck muck. A six-goal third period turned a nail-biter into a rout as the black-and-gold completed a two-game sweep of the Sioux Lookout […]
Joey Payeur The Muskie senior boys’ volleyball team got to star in its own version of “The Walking Dead.” Before it was over, the squad’s season was “Six Feet Under,” as well. It was an unfortunate ending to what had been a memorable season for the NorWOSSA champs, who were […]
Staff The Kathie Jackson rink is guilty as charged on one count of theft, but they aren’t ashamed about it. The Fort Frances-based foursome stole the winning point in the extra end to earn a 5-4 victory over British Columbia in its first game at The Travelers Curling Club Championship […]
Staff Both Muskie hockey teams had guests in for the weekend but were very unaccommodating hosts, at least when it came to the scoreboard. The boys’ squad swept a two-game set with the Sioux Lookout Warriors—rolling to a 9-1 win Friday night at the Ice For Kids Arena and then […]
Staff Kathie Jackson and her team of third Teresa McFayden, second Leanne Eluik, and lead Jackie McCormick, representing Northern Ontario, begin play today at 5:30 p.m. (all times CST) against B.C. in the opening women’s draw at The Travelers Curling Club Championships national playdowns in Ottawa.

The trade officially was announced today but actually took place last […]
Staff There will be no return visit to the all-Ontarios this season for the Muskie senior boys’ volleyball team, which was swept in the best-of-three NWOSSAA final by the host Churchill Trojans (Thunder Bay) over the weekend. Fort High was forced to default its first match Friday night when their […]
Staff In a cross-divisional match-up, the Fort Frances Midget Chargers (FFGWHA) nipped the Fort Frances Bantam ‘AA’ Leafs (FFMHA) 4-3 back on Nov. 5. Myla Angus and Maddy Morrison had two goals apiece for the Chargers. The Leafs’ goal scorers were not available at press time. Last Thursday (Nov. 12), […]
Staff It’s time to salute a different type of rock-and-roll. The Northern Ontario Curling Association kicks off its annual “Curling Week” festivities tomorrow across the region—and the Fort Frances Curling Club will be taking part. The club will hold its annual “Breakfast Bonspiel” starting tomorrow, with action continuing through Saturday. […]
Joey Payeur If a month-and-a-half of practice wasn’t enough for the Muskie boys’ hockey team to be ready to play Tuesday night, the unexpected reappearance of their head coach and his partner definitely was. Jamie Davis was in his customary position behind the Muskie bench—and his squad gave him and […]
