Reach for the Top
2026-10-26
Do people seek you out to answer obscure questions? Do you annoy your teacher because you seemingly know everything? Put that knowledge to good use and join the SRSS Reach for the Top team! Reach for the Top is an inter-school trivia competition that pits one high school against another in a fast-paced, question-and-answer, buzzer-filled frenzy. We are looking for students in grades nine through twelve who have in-depth knowledge of the following topics: math, literature, science, history, geography, social studies, philosophy, music, drama, spelling, or pop culture. If you are interested, see Mr. Rohne in Bison 7 or Mr. Unger in Crocus 5 and sign up for our Google Classroom (potdwe5). Practices start in early November on Tuesdays from 4:00-5:00 pm. Bring a friend!

Husky Classic Hockey
2026-10-26
The Sabres Hockey team spent the weekend in Winnipeg competing in the 2026 Husky Classic Hockey tournament at the Hockey For All Centre. The tournament began with a round-robin battle against the Oak Park Raiders on Friday afternoon. Kyler Verestiuk deflected a shot through the five-hole as the Sabres tied the Raiders 1-1 in an impressive defensive effort. Evan Maynard stood on his head, stopping 28 of 29 shots. The Sabres needed to win by a specific margin on Friday evening as they matched up with the John Taylor Pipers for the second and final game of round-robin play. Grady Penner popped a couple of powerplay goals into the back of the net and Nixon Duerksen lit lamp from the heart of the slot as the boys in black and gold skated to a 3-0 win. Vander Fehr slammed the door shut, making 16 stops.

The Sabres laboured through a rough start to the A-side semifinal game against the River East Kodiaks on Saturday morning, digging themselves a 3-0 hole before finally getting the boots moving. Tristan Emerson 'niped twice from the top of the umbrella in the second period and Maddox McMechan added a third goal on the man-advantage in the final frame. The Kodiaks capitalized on an abundance of odd-man rushes and skated to a 7-3 win, sending the Sabres to the A-side consolation. The Sabres had a great bounce-back effort on Sunday morning at the crack of dawn as they met the Fort Frances Muskies at an hour that hockey was surely not meant to be played. Jett Bueckert opened the scoring in the first period as the Sabres poured on the pressure. Fort Frances answered on the PP, halfway through the second period. Oliver Campbell slipped a back door pass through the wickets to regain the lead, but the Muskies answered yet again with a shot from the slot shortly after. Tyler Dueck took a feed on a two-on-one and went back to the well as his patented forehand-backhand finisher was no match for the Muskies 'tender. The Sabres did not look back as Dueck added his second tuck of the game early in the third period and Hunter Schamber added some insurance on a cross-seam pass on a late 5-on-3. Final score: SRSS 5 Fort Frances 2. The Sabres placed third out of twelve teams.

Next: The Sabres host the River East Kodiaks for a rematch on Wednesday, October 28 at 4:00 PM in a game you won't want to miss. Keep your stick on the ice!

Hockey Update 10/21
2026-10-22
The SRSS Hockey team (1-1) hosted the Vincent Massey Trojans (1-1) in WHSHL regular season action on Wednesday afternoon at the Southeast Event Centre. The Sabres tallied the first goal of the game on the peeper as Hunter Schamber, who left his fingerprints all over this game, outwaited the netminder and fired his shot past the glovehand. The Sabres doubled the lead on a 2-on-1 as Kyler Verestiuk fed a pass over to Tyler Dueck, who used The People's Poke Check to beat the Massey netminder yet again. After a scoreless second frame, the Trojans pushed back with a breakaway goal nearly seven minutes into the third. Maddox McMechan had other plans as he sent a McSnipe from the top of the umbrella with eight minutes left to restore the two-goal lead. That would be all. Final score: SRSS 3 VMC 1. Vander Fehr was his steady self, stopping 13 of 14 shots sent his way. Next up: The SRSS Sabres head to the hockey for all centre for the 2026 Husky Classic, beginning with a pair of round-robin games on Friday against Oak Park (1:30 PM) and John Taylor (6:40 PM). Keep your stick on the ice!
