Preseason Hockey 9/22
2026-09-23
The Steinbach Regional Sabres hit the road to Winnipeg for an exhibition rematch with the St. Paul's Crusaders. Neither team could find the back of the net in a defensive opening frame. The Sabres struck first as Nixon Duerksen swatted home a loose puck five minutes into the second period. The Sabres added to their lead in the third as Duerksen tickled the twine for the second time with a finish on the back door. Also feeling generous on this particular day, Duerksen then slipped a pass to Jackson Reimer in the heart of the slot, who made no mistake as he chose the high-blocker, making it 3-0. The Crusaders answered immediately with a perfectly placed shot off the rush to cut the lead to two goals. Another push from the Crusaders led to a breakaway goal, making it a one-goal hockey game with 28 seconds to go, but the Sabres held on for the lead. Final score: SRSS 3 St. Paul's 2. Evan Maynard, Ryker Enns and Vander Fehr combined to make 17 saves in the win. Next: The Sabres head to Selkirk for another exhibition game on Thursday, September 24 at 4:00 PM. Keep your stick on the ice!

JV Boys Soccer
2026-09-22
The JV Boys Soccer team jumped into action last week with two exciting games. On Tuesday (Sep 15th) they battled CLC in a fierce 1-1 draw after going down a player to a red card. Kelvin Quarm won and converted a penalty after putting the pressure on. Players of the game include Collin Reimer, Satiety Mazhara and Kelvin Quarm.

Last Thursday (Sep 17th) the team took on their second game of the season with an away game against CRGC. It was a great defensive effort as the team made adjustments on the fly. Unfortunately, the boys hit the post a couple of times and were not able to find that final pass against their more senior opponents. The game ended 0-0. Players of the game include Collin Reimer, Satiety Mazhara and Tim Komorov.

Next games take place Sep 22 at 5:30 in Landmark and Sep 24 at 5:30 in Lorette.
