Like a parked Ferrari in the dead of winter, the Fort Frances Cyclones needed a little while to get up to speed. But once they did, it was fifth gear all the way! The Cyclones, along with a contingent of Fort Frances Aquanauts, descended upon Atikokan last weekend for the […]
The Dolphin Invitational has a nice ring to it, but the Dutton Invitational may have been more fitting. Heather Dutton rocketed her way to six first-place finishes out of the six events she competed in last weekend to become the highlight performer for the Fort Frances Aquanauts at the Selkirk, […]
The offensive juggernaut that is the Muskie boys’ hockey team will have to contend with some southern invaders here tonight.

It was a breakout weekend for one of the Fort Frances Aquanauts’ more accomplished speed demons.

Devin Stromness delivered some clutch play between […]
