All the indicators pointed to the Borderland Thunder running into a brick wall during their two-game road set in Thunder Bay over the weekend—and the Fort William First Nation North Stars didn’t disappoint. The host Stars skated to a 5-2 win Friday and a 3-1 victory Saturday to run their […]
Trevor Bonot won the earlier round, but Eric Theriault landed the most punishing blow at the final bell.

It was akin to watching the Kentucky Derby favourite lead the entire race, only to trip over its own hooves down the home stretch. The Muskie senior girls’ volleyball team was the thoroughbred of the field during the round-robin portion of the Santa Claus Classic in Dryden last weekend, going […]
Rob Shubat doesn’t have anything personal against Kenora, but he’s okay with missing out on this particular road trip. The Thunder Bay curler already made a round-about journey by signing his team up with the Atikokan Curling Club so his rink could take part in last weekend’s Zone 7 men’s […]
Rash decisions are almost an inevitable outcome of turmoil. But Borderland Thunder general manager Brent Tookenay is maintaining a think-before-you-leap attitude when it comes to the current woes of the defending SIJHL champs. “There’s no sense in us pushing the panic button,” said Tookenay, whose team heads to Thunder Bay […]
