Local Sports
Their season essentially can be only two games long. Now hold on there. What’s that you said? How can a season last only two games? Well, that can be a possibility for the Muskie boys’ soccer team as they look towards their schedule, which can only be a measly four […]
If you’re a woman and possess pathos for soccer at any level, then the Borderland Soccer Association wants (and needs) you. The local women’s league may be lost this season, and after countless hours spent by a few to get it started, association president Shane Beckett said it would be […]
The story wasn’t that Atikokan would win the trophy. That much was pretty much guaranteed (if you took a peek at the NorWOSSA badminton team trophy, you would have seen for yourself why such a statement is justified). The modest hardware, which weighs less than 10 pounds and doesn’t even […]
Caroline Spencer is neither young nor old, but to classify her as part of Generation ‘X’ would be false. So when Spencer, who is the head coach of the Muskie girls’ soccer team, described their brief four-week season as “Fast and Furious,” without realizing her analogy goes towards the action-packed […]
It seems the Borderland Thunder are playing the waiting game. There was talk at the end of their season that the team would be taking Hockey Northwestern Ontario to court to try and get approval to jump ship from the Superior International Junior Hockey League to the Manitoba Junior Hockey […]
Having her name forever encapsulated in a program’s history brings modest laughter from Christin Thomson. The Fort Frances native helped lead the St. John’s University Red Storm women’s golf team to its first Big East title at the Warren Golf Course in South Bend, Ind. (home of host Notre Dame) […]

The St. John’s University Red Storm golf team, of which Fort Frances resident Christin Thomson is a member, qualified for the Big East Championships that started today at the Warren Golf Club in Notre Dame. This is Thomson’s third season with the St. John’s (New York) women’s golf team and […]
After more than 150 games of badminton were played yesterday at the NorWOSSA finals at Fort High, five Muskies left with medals draped over their necks indicating they had advanced to NWOSSAA. Ten Muskie players had qualified for NorWOSSA with hopes of being one of the top two finishers in […]
Why don’t we join together and attempt to make a perfectly-balanced soccer martini? That’s what the Borderland Soccer Association is pretty much asking after its executive meeting last Wednesday night at Fort High. Association president Shane Beckett suggested creating one body that would act as umbrella body for the local […]
A variety of meetings involving different local sports bodies will be taking place over the coming week. The Fort Frances Curling Club will hold its semi-annual meeting there tonight (Wednesday) at 7 p.m. All members are encouraged to attend. “We’d like to see as many people there as we can,” […]
