Avenue downtown revitalization project, town staff
is adopting a proactive approach by gathering in-
put from residents and local businesses for the up-
coming Third Avenue revitalization project.
On Feb. 13, the town held a public open house
related to the project, allowing for feedback as
they are currently in the information gathering,
public engagement and design-tendering phase of
the project.
“The criticism of the town in the past was that we
had our minds made up. I don’t think that’s true;
we are very much in this preliminary design phase
and we’re getting public and business feedback as
part of the open house,” said Chuck Procter, plan-
ner for the Town of Strathmore.
“We’re asking, how important is the consistency
with Second Avenue with Third Avenue. To me it is
important that it is consistent, that we use the same
kind of colour scheme and that kind of thing, but
we’re going to see what the businesses say, wheth-
er they rate that high or low … but it’s still very
much up in the air.”
The town is seeking input regarding the number
and size of parking stalls, the value of public and
plaza space, and landscaping. During the Second
Avenue downtown revitalization project, Procter
estimated 10 events were held between 2015 and
2016 as well as an open house in 2017 to receive
public engagement. This time around, the town is
providing online surveys, extra time and appoint-
ments with businesses in the downtown, an in-
formation booth, one-on-one business walks and
public engagement reports.
“We want to do a better job and have more input
early on,” Procter said. “Not that we didn’t have
good input last time, but maybe it was just spread
too thin. We want to fix that.
“They were toying with this idea in the 1980s.
They’ve been trying to revitalize the downtown for
a long time, but they could never get it going. So
we’re just so happy to be a part of the time that’s
going to bring that change.”
Last year, Strathmore’s downtown received a ma-

“You got to know every single one of them re-
ally well. I know their families, I know their kids,
I know their wives, I know when they go on holi-
days. They become part of the social fabric of your
life in a small business. They’re really loyal and
they’re upset, they’re not happy, but they under-
stand that I have to close.”
With rents skyrocketing, he moved the business
downtown to Second Avenue. The business at-
tracted customers from within Strathmore but also
surrounding rural areas, specifically Gleichen and
Cluny.
domestic violence matters and we have to move
people along, then it’s nice to know that there is
another resource,” McGinnis said. “We don’t do any
admissions at the door … that’s to maintain the in-
tegrity of the security that’s in place and whoever is
in the shelter already. So that creates some frustra-
tions when people show up at the door and then
they leave quite disgruntled. It’s really taken us by
surprise when we have people showing up at our
doors and I think that’s coming from community
referrals who are just confused about what the dif-
ferences are.”
In comparison to the Wheatland Crisis Society,
the Strathmore Overnight Shelter will be a five-day
stay shelter for only men and women – no children
– housing a total of 10 beds. The organization is
volunteer-based, with two volunteers on each shift,
and focuses on the programs and services already
available within the community. Unlike the Wheat-
land Crisis Society, SOS accepts people at the door.
“When you look up shelter, it’s the crisis shelter
that comes up – understandably so – and they’re
not reading the differences before they show up,”
said Elizabeth Karp, pastor of the Harvest Healing
Centre Church and executive director for SOS.
“The crisis shelter has been a huge help to us. It’s
been great working together because we’re work-
ing for the same goal; we have the same mission
ultimately. We obviously serve some of the same
people, but when it comes to kids and domestic
crisis, they have their resources much better at their
fingertips and that would be the place for me to
send those people.”
Karp said she has been receiving between one
to six phone calls a day with people trying to find
accommodations.
Confusion and frustration has also arisen con-
cerning donations, where those who thought they
had contributed to the Wheatland Crisis Society in-
stead donated to SOS and wondered about their tax
receipts.
More information for the Wheatland Crisis Society
can be found at strathmoreshelter.com or by phone

open at the end of March. More information can be

Up until the closing-out-sale posters went up,
Video Gallery was still signing up a few new
members every week. McCune said it’s too early
for retirement and he is not interested in opening
up another store.
“A lot of regulars are coming in to say goodbye
and it makes me feel like I was doing something
worthwhile for all these years,” McCune said. “I
don’t really want to start another business, it’s too
late in my life to do that. It’s hard work and it’s
too stressful. Of course, I said that before I started
this too.”
The Video Gallery will continue its movie sale
until the store officially closes on Feb. 28.

Calgary roller rink closing leaves family
and club with few options
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
The closure of Alberta’s last roller
rink last weekend is posing a challenge
for the Calgary Artistic Roller Sport
Club (CARSC) to find a new space and
throws a stumbling block into Strath-
more local artistic roller skater Kayla-
Ann Mercer’s dream of competing in
the Artistic Skating World Champion-
ships one day.
Lloyds Recreation roller rink in Cal-
gary officially closed its doors on Feb.
18 after 53 years, following the death of
owner Flo Cooper last year whose final
wishes included donating the money
from the sale to charity. The action left
dance, speed clubs and one of Canada’s
only artistic roller skating clubs, oper-
ating out of the rink, stranded.
The CARSC reached out to no few-
er than 50 venues, but those only had
availability in the summer, they didn’t
allow wheels, they had unsuitable
floors or costs were too steep. Finally,
however, the club was able to secure
some space at the Indus Recreation
Centre.
While the facility provides a solution
to allow the athletes to keep training, it
doesn’t have hardwood floors, no lines
and loops on the floor which are es-
sential for artistic roller skating – much
like figure skating but on roller skates –
contains a much smaller area and costs
more for less training time.
“Artistic skaters exist and eventually
we’re going to need help, so we want
to see if there are people who are will-
ing to stand up,” said Dee-Ann Wagner
Mercer, vice president and fundraising
director for CARSC, and Kayla-Ann’s
mother.
“All our winter rinks are ice. Winter
is when we need the space and there’s
nothing. Now we’re going to go into
Indus, which is half the size of Lloyds.
It’ll be fine, we’ll get by. But eventually
we need to get something where the
girls can actually train.
“I spent days and weeks looking … a
lot of places don’t allow wheels. I think
it’s a huge struggle with roller rinks in
Alberta. You really can’t properly train.”
Wagner Mercer was able to find a few
places in Calgary that would accommo-
date the club, but prices ranged from
$80 to $183 per hour. Previously the
club paid a monthly fee for 40 hours –
or three days a week – at Lloyds Recre-
ation. Now the club is dishing out $40
per hour for only one day a week. The
family said between coaching fees and
floor rental fees the club is scraping by,
leaving little wiggle room for dollars to-
wards competitions.

13-year-old Kayla-Ann Mercer took
home two gold medals and one bronze
in six disciplines. Mercer has been in-
volved in artistic roller skating for the
past four years and hopes to make it
to the Artistic Skating World Champi-
onships in the future. She’s currently
preparing for this year’s regional com-
petition in June, but worries about the
future of the sport as only six members
remain on the team – the club lost two
members over the past year.
“We won’t be able to compete as
much because now we don’t have
the money,” said Mercer. “Now we are
fundraising for different floor space. I
have to find a way to practice a whole
dance, which takes a lot of floor space.
There are so few (artistic roller skaters)
in Canada that compete. Artistic roller-
skating is my favourite thing. Everyone
asks me ‘oh what’s that?’ and I say oh
it’s my sport. You can join it if you want
because we’re dying right now.”
One of the problems with finding
space – in addition to the financial
burden – is the need to have lines and
loops on the floor; a necessity for the
sport that makes it more difficult at
competitions if practiced without them.
Most facilities would not accommodate
the request.
Natasha Bogucki has been roller
skating for 13 years and competed in
the Artistic Skating World Champion-
ships in September 2017 in China. As
one of the assistant coaches for the
club, she is worried about the decline
in memberships over the years and the
lack of facilities in Canada.
“It’s a dying sport, and it was really
big in the ’60s and ’70s but we are basi-
cally the only operating club in Canada
right now,” said Bogucki.
“It’s hard to get recognition and
make people aware that this is even
a sport. I’m a little worried, we don’t
get as much publicity as when we were
at Lloyds. The girls that we have right
now are really passionate and eager, so
we’ll definitely continue for as long as

they want to skate. It’s definitely been a
struggle for the past few years for sure.”
With the void left behind from Lloyds
Recreation’s closure, the idea of a new
roller rink, Wheelz Roller Center, has
already been proposed. While the proj-
ect is still in its infancy, the business
plan is near completion and Wayne
Pedersen and Teresa Sutherland – who
are spearheading the idea – said more
information is needed to see if the busi-
ness model is viable to keep roller skat-
ing alive in the city.
For now, CARSC will start practicing
at the Indus Recreation Centre until
more space becomes available in the

Capsule Comments
About once every 60 seconds, someone in
Canada receives blood or a blood product. We
always refer to donating a “pint” of blood which
would be 570 ml in the metric system. However,
the actual volume of a donation of blood is 450ml.
Just out of interest, the least common blood
type is AB negative. found in less than 1% of
Canadians and ironically, people with this blood
type are universal recipients…able to receive any
type of blood. The most common blood type is
O positive where 39% have that type. If you have
an O negative blood type, you are a “universal
donor” meaning that your blood can be transfused
into people with any of the other blood type.
A blood donation is made up of 55% plasma, 40-
45% red blood cells and about 1% platelets and
white blood cells. Donated blood is perishable and
the blood can be broken down into its components
so they can be used in special medical situations.
Red cells will last about 42 days; platelets about
5 days and plasma can be frozen for future use.
If you give “a pint” of blood through Canadian
Blood Services (and we encourage you to do
this regularly if you are able), your body will
replenish that volume of blood within 24-48
hours. But it will take up to 8 weeks to make up
the platelets component of the blood. That’s why
the recommended intervals between donations is
set at 8 weeks.
Giving blood is truly giving the gift of life.
Consider doing it soon and regularly.

Jumphouse Gymnastics cheer team qualifies for internationals
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Associate Editor
The Matrix Cheer All-Stars club is tumbling,
stunting and dancing its way to the top by intro-
ducing Strathmore to the international stage for
the first time at this year’s Summit Varsity All Star
Cheerleading Championship.
Only once before has an Alberta team partici-
pated in the illustrious event.
Strathmore’s Jumphouse Gymnastics’ co-ed
Platinum Elite Level 3 team of the Matrix Cheer
All-Stars received an “at large bid” while compet-
ing at the ATC PAC Competition in Calgary earlier
this year. So far, they are one of six Alberta teams
who have received an invitation – or bid – to
compete, owing to the addition of a new inter-
national cheer division. Four teams from Calgary
STARS Gymnastics and Cheer, and one team from
Perfect Storm Athletics in Edmonton will also be
representing Alberta at the event.
“This is huge in the cheerleading world; it’s just
the fact that a little small town in Alberta got a
bid, usually it’s just the big clubs,” said Cassie
Weiss, owner and head coach at Jumphouse
Gymnastics. “We’re a small gym so our skills
were always one step below all the big clubs,
especially the U.S. clubs. I feel like we were re-
ally skilled this year, so the combination of the
fact that these kids have grown up together in
cheer mixed with the hard work they’re putting
into their skills really stepped us up this year. It
wasn’t just skills, it was also their bond and they
gave it all they had on the mat.”
The senior co-ed team is made up of 18 ath-
letes ranging in age from 11 to 16. They man-
aged to secure one of approximately 300 bids
that were being doled out to junior and senior
teams in Level 1 to Level 4 worldwide.
Weiss has been coaching the team for six years,
without any personal gymnastics or cheer experi-
ence. She began coaching gymnastics when she
was only 12 years old, and when the Strathmore
High School cheerleading club faced dissolution,

Weiss learned to coach the sport on a whim.
The team trains four-and-a-half hours per
week. Mason La Chance, the only male on the
team, believes it isn’t just their skills that quali-
fied them for the championships, but rather their
tight-knit relationship.
“It’s pretty exciting, especially knowing from
where we began to how it’s going to end; it’s
pretty cool to see the growth that we’ve created,” The Jumphouse Gymnastics Matrix Cheer All-Stars Club is sending their

and we’re close and we see each other, and our
coaches do a super good job at making sure that
we bond together.”
At their current level, the team’s most advanced
move is the back tuck, also known as the back
flip. During their two minute and 30 second rou- Foster Care Info Session
tine, the cheer team has to demonstrate their
skills in tumbling, stunting – lifting and throwing

I’m a skate mom. No, my daughter does
not play hockey. She is not into ringette ei-
ther. She has no interest in figure skating.
She is an artistic roller skater. What the
heck is that you’re asking? It’s okay, about
four years ago I would have asked that ex-
act same question; I had never heard of it.
Have you ever been to a roller rink, seen
loops and figure eight lines on the floor,
and then wondered what they were for? I
actually did when I was a teen but never

Another year, another feeling of dis-

Feb. 17 following another first-round
exit from the Heritage Junior Hockey
League playoffs.
Last year, it was the lower-seeded
Banff Academy Bears that upset the
Kings, sweeping them in the best-of-
three series.
This year, it was the higher-ranked
High River Flyers that sent them pack-
ing after picking up a 4-1 decision at
the Strathmore Family Centre.
Not even captain Keenan Ogle shav-

Humble switching up his pads, or the
Kings starting three affiliated players
was enough to find a spark in Game 2.
“I thought we battled pretty hard.
We ran into a hot goaltender, and one
of the top scorers in the league had a
great game,” said Kings Head Coach
Shadoe Stoodley. “I thought our guys
played one hell of a series. We took a
couple shifts off and they capitalized.
We still need to be proud about the
way we battled and there’s nothing to
hang our heads about.”
Entering the series, both sides of
the equation were excited about their
opponent, believing it was a perfect
matchup of styles and game play, and
expected a hard-fought series.
With their backs against the wall
returning to home ice in Game 2, the
Kings came out swinging, looking to
extend the series, but the Flyers had
different plans.
On paper, the special teams were
clearly the difference, as all five goals
came with one player in the box.
“Coming in, we stressed the impor-
tance of special teams in the playoffs.
Opportunities don’t come up that often
and they can be the deciding factor in
close games and I thought they were
tonight,” said Flyers Head Coach Tyson
Avery.

Spartans claim bronze medal at home
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
It’s always nice to perform at home,
especially when home games have be-
come a rarity this season.
Opting out of the Foothills Athletic
Council this season, both guys and
girls senior Strathmore High School
Spartan basketball programs have tak-
en part in tournament play this season.
Playing in tournaments all over Al-
berta means they expose themselves
to better competition, but drastically
limits the amount of home games.
That is why the annual Spartan Clas-
sic was so thoroughly enjoyed by both
teams last weekend, as it gave them
a chance to take on talented teams,
sleep in their own beds, and perform
in front of family and friends for a
change.
The girls put the finishing touches
on an enjoyable weekend with a fan-
tastic comeback win in the bronze
medal game.
“That game made the weekend for
us,” said Spartans Head Coach Kyle
Larson. “There are a lot of smiling fac-
es in that hallway now because of that
performance.”
Taking on the Lacombe Composite
High School Rams, the Spartans trailed
by nine at half. Similar to much of their
tournament play this season and ear-
lier in the weekend, the offence strug-
gled out of the gates.
“At halftime, we talked about being
too patient in our offence. We need-
ed to look to score more, be quicker
when generating our offence and that
not everything needed to come out of
half-court sets,” said Larson. “We start-
ed to run more, got some points off
steals with our press and really created
problems for them.”
Leading the way was Sydney Boyd,
who turned in all 15 of her points in
the second half. Allie Davidson was
also strong in the second half, as she
chucked in 15 of her own to go with
her team-high 25.
The offence needed a change in its
starting rotation and game plan after
Kirsten Whelan rolled her ankle in the
first half of the semifinal game against
the Strathcona Christian Academy Ea-
gles Feb. 17.
The Eagles were able to shut down
the Spartans at the point of the attack,
holding them to 31 in the 57-31 defeat.
“Kirsten was playing great this morn-
ing. She was the only one getting sec-
ond-chance baskets, finishing around
the hoop and having one of the best
games I’ve seen her play this year,”
said Larson.
While Whelan was out for the bronze
medal game, she was seen walking
around afterwards and Larson is hop-
ing she will be good to go in a week’s
time.
Despite not their greatest perfor-
mance, the Spartans picked up a win
in the opener over the H.J. Cody Lak-
ers 45-37.
Boyd led the way once again with 19
points, as Davidson poured in 11.

Kirsten Whelan (left photo) of the Strathmore High School Spartans battled
for an offensive rebound against the Strathcona Christian Academy Eagles
and Josh Filipionek looked to drop a dime against the Ponoka Composite
High School Broncos Feb. 17 during the annual Spartan Classic tourna-
ment.
“Scoring has been a strug-
gle for us all season,” said
Larson. “Hopefully we are
able to build off this season
as we only have one more
invitational tourney left be-
fore we start to get ready for
Zones.”
The Spartans will be in
action next weekend in
Wetaskiwin for the Battle
River tournament Feb. 23
and 24, and with the 3A
South Central Zone tourna-
ment March 8-10 at their
high school.
On the boys’ side, the
Spartans were able to give
the local fans a fantastic fin-
ish in their final game.
Playing in a one-score
game for four of their last
six opportunities, the Spar-
tans showed a calming pres-
ence in the final minutes.
The Ponoka Secondary
Broncos went toe-to-toe
with the Spartans for 38
minutes.
Any time a team scored,
the other would answer
with a bucket of their own
on the other side.
The Spartans were able to
break that trend with 1:05
remaining in the fourth,
when Nathan Cayouette
went barreling into the lane
with a strong finish, picking
up the hoop and the harm,
giving the Spartans a one-
point edge.
“The boys always get so
pumped up when Nathan
scores. He works so hard on
defence … when he scores

the bench goes crazy,” said
Spartans Head Coach Matt
Laslo.
The Spartans weren’t done
there: the next trip down
the floor with 37.2 seconds
left, freshman Dan Mulder
drilled a 3 to go up 75-74.
“The play was for Josh
to take a quick three. But
when we got the ball in-
bounded, Josh saw that Dan
was wide open and made
a great pass to him,” said
Laslo. “That was really great
to see because all weekend
I had been telling them to
play unselfishly and to trust
their teammates to make
open shots.”
After Mulder canned his
28th point of the game, he
let out a roar and flexed on
the Broncos before his de-
fence snuffed out any last-
second buzzer beater at-
tempts.
The Spartans started the
tournament on the wrong

TRUTH?
I was reading recently about
Oprah Winfrey and the
impassioned speech she gave
at the Golden Globe awards.
She said “speaking your truth
is the most powerful tool we all
have.” When you understand
the context of her speech, about
speaking out against misogynism
and abuse, then we can most
definitely agree with her. We
must never cover up abuse and
discrimination, for if we stay
silent, we affirm injustice. But
there is a subtle suggestion in
her statement, a suggestion that
there are multiple versions of
the truth out there, competing in
a ‘survival of the fittest’ sort of
contest.
I have personally experienced a
toddler attempting to somehow
alter reality through increasingly
vigorous assertions of “his truth”
(I can have all the candy I want, I
didn’t make that mess, etc).
Humanity has always battled
with the concept of truth.
Ancient Rome around AD 33
sounds positively modern when
we consider the words of the
Prefect of Judea: Pontius Pilate,
who famously retorted, “what is

truth?” When we consider how
we can evaluate truth claims,
Ravi Zacharias suggests 3 basic
tests to bring us clarity and
understanding.
• Logical Consistency – Does it
make sense? Does it contradict
itself or anything we know for
sure to be true?
• Empirical Adequacy – Do
historical record and scientific
inquiry affirm the claim? Can it
be tested?
• Experiential Relevance – Can I
relate my experience of reality to
the claim in a meaningful way?
I would like to encourage
everyone reading this to renew
their search for truth. We can
know the truth, don’t give up on
making sense of the facts and
experiences of your life! The
person to whom Pilate made
his famous retort was in fact
Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus made a
number of truth claims which are
recorded in the Bible. I dare you
to engage these truth claims for
yourself, to put them to the test,
and to boldly go wherever the
evidence leads you.

Athletes return from

successful winter games
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
Athletes from Wheatland County are showing well
at the biennial Alberta Winter Games in the regional
municipality of Wood Buffalo.
Strathmore and its surrounding communities fall
under Zone 2, which wrapped up an incredibly suc-
cessful three-day event with 54 medals – 15 gold, 20
silver and 19 bronze – good enough to place second
in the province-wide standings.
Bringing home one of those 15 gold medals was
Strathmore’s Kaia Gron, who was part of the Zone
2 squad that shaved Zone 6 in the final 3-2 on Feb.
19 in the female hockey tournament at the Casman
Centre.
The Zone 2 unit opened the tourney with a slow
start, as they tied Zone 5 (Yellowhead area) 1-1 Feb.
17. They built off the draw by picking up a 3-1 vic-
tory over Zone 6 (Edmonton), and cooled off Zone 7
(North Eastern Alberta) 4-1.
In the semifinal Feb. 19, Zone 2 clipped Zone 3 to
earn a spot in the gold medal game with a 3-1 win.
The strongest collation of local products teamed
up in ringette. They also picked up a medal, bronze,
when they blasted Zone 3 on Feb. 19 with an 8-3 win
at the Anzac Recreation Centre.
McKenna Blades, Cayley Boschee, Camille Gauvin
and Grace Olson made up the Strathmore portion
of the team. They were joined by Rockyford’s Hailey
Kenney and Standard’s Madison Wheeler.
For a few of the girls, this was redemption from
losing out in the bronze game 4-3 to Zone 6 two
years ago in Medicine Hat.
“It was a little upsetting at first, knowing we were
so close to gold, but anytime you can get a medal
at an event like this is pretty special and a lot bet-
ter than nothing,” said Blades, who was one of the
returnees on the roster. “We trailed 1-0 in the bronze
medal game, so we needed a pretty solid comeback
to pull this off. It was great to see everyone playing
hard and giving it everything they had.”
There was worry about the competition level being
slightly above their pay grade, with the northern pro-
grams being comprised of double-A players and only
a handful of players on Zone 2 bringing any experi-
ence at the double-A level.
All Zone 2 did was run out and obliterate those
stigmas, as they came within one goal of appearing
in the gold medal game.
Zone 2 battled back to force overtime against Zone
6, but fell in overtime 5-4 on Feb. 17.
“We have a lot of girls without experience at this
level. We started slow, but once they got a taste for
the speed of the tournament, they adjusted really
well,” said Zone 2 Head Coach Gareth McCullough.
“We have gotten tremendously better as the tourna-
ment has gone on.”
It was a fitting way to end a successful weekend
up north that saw Zone 2 open the tourney with a
7-6 loss Feb. 17 to Zone 5. They were able to bounce
back with a slight 5-3 edging over Zone 5B and blew
Zone 7 out 10-1.
More than 1,800 kids aged 14-17 made their way
up north to compete in the Winter Games, which first
took place in Banff in 1976.
During the 2016 Winter Games in Medicine Hat,
Zone 2 placed third with 19 gold, 27 silver and 18
bronze medals.
Away from the rink, Noah Leece was the only male
local product to compete, when he strapped on a
pair of snowboarding competitions. After a couple of
runs, Leece placed 20th in the U14 Boarder Cross and
18th in the Slopestyle event at Vista Ridge.
Gleichen’s Rylee Wilson skated in the figure skat-
ing competition and came out with a 14th place fin-
ish in the Star 6 women’s free skate at the Frank La-
croix Arena.
In archery, Alyssa Maucieri took aim in the 15-17
Cadet Compound female and Mixed Compound team
competitions at the Shell Place Indoor Turf Arena.
The next chance for local athletes to perform at the
provincial Games is set for July 19 to 22, when Grande
Prairie hosts the 2018 Alberta Summer Games.

Hawks honoured to compete at

Hanna’s Hoops for Hope tourney
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
The Holy Cross Collegiate girl’s senior
Hawks program won more than just a
basketball game last weekend in Hanna.
Competing in the long-running Sweet
Heart Hoops for Hope tournament Feb.
16 and 17, the Hawks might have only
went 1-3, but they were able to help
raise money for cancer research and
kids with cleft lips in under developed
countries, along with the promotion of
anti-bullying campaigns.
“Perspective is something that stu-
dents this age are becoming aware of
and they are noticing social issues more.
It was nice to participate in a tourna-
ment like that and to see other schools
take the initiative,” said Hawks Head
Coach Joe Lepage. “Our girls were ask-
ing about doing something like that
with a hosted tourney next year hope-
fully. It’s something that one day, I think
we can see all of our tournaments help
out causes locally and those around the
world, too.”
On the court, the Hawks were able to
pick up a win in their third game of the
weekend, when they took on the Three
Hills School Royals Feb. 17. Hope Given
was the Hawks leading scorer with 22
points in the 60-40 win.
“We came out and played really well
as a team for the first time all weekend,”
said Hawks Assistant Coach Michelle
Leitner. “We had a lot more scoring op-
portunities because of our defensive re-
bounding and we scored on a lot more
of those scoring chances, too.”
A slightly longer tournament than the
team was accustomed to this season, the
tournament was constructed with four
pools featuring three teams in each, fol-
lowed by a pair of playoff games.
The Hawks took the lid off the week-
end with a 58-39 loss Feb. 16 to the Brynn Garner of the Holy Cross Collegiate Hawks looks to lock down her check on defence against the

Chiefs tie Bruins
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
In a year that has seen the Calgary Di-
vision get the better of the Wheatland
Chiefs, walking out with a tie can almost
be considered a victory – almost.
“The Calgary teams are always deep
and tough to play against,” said Chiefs
Assistant Coach Matt Gregory. “We had a
good effort tonight and showed that we
can play with them and that will help us
out going forward.”
The local double-A midget team held
a 2-1 lead halfway through the third
period, when Tyler Russell pushed one
past Ethan Rycroft, eventually forcing a
tie.
The Chiefs weren’t walking out of the
Strathmore Family Centre with a 2-2 tie
Feb. 17 if it wasn’t for the solid play by
Rycroft between the pipes.
The rookie netminder pulled off 30
saves in one of his better performances
of the year, as the NWCAA Bruins (6-4-2)
outshot the Chiefs 32-22.
Zach Suntjens walked the blue line in
the first on the power play and ripped
home his fifth of the season. In the
third, Mitch Desserre poked a puck up
to Brian Butland Jr., who went off on a
two-on-one with Rylan Longmuir, who
roofed his fifth, as the Chiefs improve to
1-6-1 against Calgary teams.
Only two regular season home games
remain for the Chiefs (17-10-3) this sea-
son, as they host the surging Taber Gold-
en Suns (16-10-6) Feb. 24 at the Family
Centre (4:45 p.m.). They will be back in
action the following evening when they
take on the Foothills Bisons at the Bob
Snodgrass Recreation Centre.
WARRIORS ON FIRE
Four different players factored into
the scoring as the Wheatland Warriors
continued their hot play, downing the
Medicine Hat Hounds 4-1 Feb. 17 at the
Moose Recreation Centre.
Trailing by one early, Bryce Benfield
banged in a puck from Brayden Ledrew
in the first, igniting the Warriors offence.
From there, Jerrin Hendericks found
the back of the net in the second, while
Domenic Ficaccio and Nate Gillis put
the Hounds away in the third.
Between the pipes, Dylan Fries-Abel
was solid when called upon, stopping
15 of 16 shots for his sixth win. The lo-
cal double-A bantam team has won five
out of their last six games.
A pair of South Central Alberta Hock-
ey League games are on tap for the War-
riors (14-14-2) this weekend. First, they
will take on the Foothills Bisons (21-7-2)
Feb. 24 at the Bob Snodgrass Recreation
Centre, before returning home a day
later to host the Red Deer Steel Kings
(7-20-2). Puck drop is set for 1:30 p.m.
PEEWEE BREAK
The Wheatland Braves (16-14-10) en-
joyed a weekend off as they try to right
the ship that has seen them drop their
last two contests. They will appear in ac-
tion once this weekend, when they take
on the Okotoks Oilers Green (13-12-4)
Feb. 25 at Murray Arena.
