Staff Travellers may have noticed a vapour trail stretching from Dryden to Detroit Lakes, Mn. this past week. The Muskie boys’ hockey team made its mark on both sides of the border, stretching their winning streak to 16 games in the process. Their run of greatness also led to them […]
Staff The Muskie girls’ hockey team has been a regular player in the silver market this season. This past weekend, a team-wide investment of hustle and courage finally allowed them to invest in gold stocks. The black-and-gold outlasted the Red Lake Rams 3-1 in the title game Saturday to earn […]
Staff After more than a two-week layoff, the Fort Frances Thunderhawks take to the skies this weekend for a pair of games. The local senior men’s hockey squad, who lost their debut game 7-6 to the Kenora Thistles on Nov. 10 at the Ice For Kids Arena, once again will […]
Staff The collective sigh of relief taken by the Fort Frances Lakers must have been exhausting. The Lakers (6-15-3) were back on the wrong side of the scoreboard in a 4-2 loss to the K&A Wolverines (8-16-4) in SIJHL action last Thursday in Thunder Bay. The loss came two days […]
Staff It was a ‘B’-side that certainly was no hit single for the Fort Frances Canadians. The Canadians were dumped 6-3 by the Wayzata Junior Gold ‘A’ squad in the ‘B’ final of the third-annual Gus Lindberg Memorial Midget ‘AA’ hockey tournament at the Ice For Kids Arena on Sunday. […]

Staff It would have been understandable for the Muskie girls’ hockey team to suffer an emotional letdown after battling their way to gold at the Northern Shield Classic in Dryden over the weekend. But while they weren’t in prime form, the black-and-gold still were strong enough to venture into a […]
Staff Nature dictates that eagles eat fish. But it’s the Muskie boys licking their lips at the thought of fattening up on another NorWOSSA opponent tonight. The black-and-gold will host the Dryden Eagles at the Ice For Kids Arena at 7:15 p.m. in hopes of a 5-0 start to the […]
Staff It’s a wonder the Muskie boys’ hockey team even could lift their arms in celebration a day after almost reaching the 20-goal mark. But the black-and-gold had enough strength in their bodies to muster a 5-3 victory over host Detroit Lakes in the inaugural Thanksgiving Shootout Cup tournament. It’s […]
Press Release The local Nor-Fab Flames PeeWee and Dynamic Homes Hurricanes Atom girls’ rep teams are competing in Warroad this weekend. The Flames open action tonight at 7 p.m. against host Warroad (Olympic rink), then will face Roseau at noon tomorrow at the Gardens. They’ll wrap up play tomorrow at […]
Staff Both Muskie hockey teams and a volleyball squad will face some weekend work. The girls’ hockey team is in Dryden for a tournament today and tomorrow. The black-and-gold opened play against the Sioux Lookout Warriors at 12:30 p.m. (the score wasn’t known by press time), then will take on […]
