Joey Payeur One game was supposed to be a blowout and the other close. That’s just what happened—except the results were reversed from what the expectations were. The Muskie girls’ hockey team (4-0 in NorWOSSA play) shook off a weekend tournament loss to Dryden by thrashing the Eagles 9-4 on […]

Staff Three out of four isn’t bad—unless you’re on the wrong end of the three. The Muskie court teams opened their NorWOSSA regular-season action Tuesday in Dryden but only the junior boys’ basketball squad returned home with a win. Matt Swing and Jacob Empey each netted eight points to help […]
Joey Payeur Instead of worrying about the one that got away, the Muskie boys’ hockey team went trolling for whatever treasure they could find. They ended up reeling in the ‘B’-side title of the Royal Oak division at the Victoria Inn tournament in Brandon, Man. after a 5-2 win over […]
Joey Payeur The St. Thomas Aquinas Saints likely will file a request for future girls’ hockey tournaments: no more games against the Muskies.

Staff The Fort Frances Men’s Basketball League opened its new season last night with some high-scoring theatrics by a trio of round-ballers, including a talented brother act. Jacob McIntosh had a game-high 47 points for Taggs but younger brother, Caleb, had 42 of his own—and a bit better of a […]
Joey Payeur Wayne Strachan continues to tinker with the roster of the Fort Frances Lakers in an effort to get more effort out of his squad. The head coach and general manager made his second trade in less than a week when he dealt forward Jason Berube to the Eliot […]
Staff A fuss over a bus gave the Muskie boys’ hockey team an unexpected night off. The black-and-gold’s game against the Red Lake Rams, slated for last night at the Ice For Kids Arena, was postponed after the Rams experienced what Muskie athletic director Shane Beckett termed as “busing issues.” […]
Staff The Muskie girls’ hockey team didn’t need angels on its side to beat a squadron of Saints—just some sharpshooters looking to make amends from an earlier off game. Katie Sinclair and Shelby Tymkin each scored twice as the Muskies blanked the St. Thomas Aquinas Saints 7-0 to capture the […]
Staff Consider the messaged delivered—and understood. Mason Meyer scored twice while Lucas DeBenedet had three points as the Fort Frances Lakers got back on track with a 6-2 victory over the Wisconsin Wilderness on Saturday night in Spooner. Two days after playing their worst game of the season in a […]
Staff A new day hopefully will mean a new result for the Muskie boys’ hockey team. The black-and-gold fell 5-3 to the Neepawa Tigers in their opening game at the Victoria Inn hockey tournament in Brandon, Man. last night. Goal scorers were not available by press time. The Muskies took […]
