Go Sabres!
Preseason Hockey 9/28
2026-09-29
The Steinbach Sabres welcomed the Lord Selkirk Royals for a preseason game on Monday, Sept. 28 in Steinbach. The Royals got the first tally of the game as their F3 received a pass in the slot and made no mistake just thirty seconds into the game. The Sabres answered with two minutes left in the first period as Tristan Emerson sent a heat-seeking missile over the glove hand. The Sabres struck yet again in the second frame as Jackson Reimer stayed with a loose puck in a scramble and snuck it through the Royals' netminder. Shortly after the Royals evened the score with a powerplay marker early in the third period, Kyler Verestiuk left the penalty box and headed straight to the blue paint, where Jett Bueckert found him with a low-to-high pass for the go-ahead goal. The Royals pushed back again as a nice passing play tied the game five minutes later. The Royals notched a go-ahead goal of their own on the ensuing shift, which stood as the game winner. Final score: Lord Selkirk 4 SRSS 3. Next: The Sabres head to Morris from October 1-3 for the annual preseason tournament. Keep your stick on the ice!
Girls Soccer Last Night
2026-09-29
The girls battled it out hard last night taking on some super hard contact from Lorette. We ended the first half of the game down 0-3 after Lorette scored two penalty shots.

After half the girls made a comeback with 2 goals by Maggie Kennedy and 1 by Mirlande Kehler tying up the game and Saige Peters saved so many great shots through the entire game!

However, with only 2 minutes left in the game Lorette scored their final shot to push ahead. Not the outcome the girls wanted but the skills the coaches have been working with them on shown through as they held their own through the entire game!

Preseason Hockey 9/24
2026-09-25
The Steinbach Sabres met the Lord Selkirk Royals for a Thursday afternoon exhibition clash in Selkirk on September 24. Goal scoring was not at a premium in the first period as the Sabres roared out to a 5-1 lead. Nixon Duerksen opened the scoring five minutes into the game with his third goal of the preseason. Zach Carriere doubled the lead just over a minute later as he banked one off of the Royals' netminder from behind the goal line. Tyler Dueck sent a twisted wrister through traffic on a 5-on-3 to make it 3-0. Then, Zach Carriere wired his second of the game top cheddar for the second PPG of the shift. After the Royals added a powerplay goal of their own, the Sabres answered yet again as Nixon Duersken took a sweet feed from Grady Penner and outwaited the netminder. No goals were scored in the second period. Five minutes into the third, Tyler Dueck's second goal of the game was waived off due to a head contact penalty earlier in the shift. A request for video review from the Command Centre in Toronto was denied. The Royals tacked on another powerplay goal, but would run out of time to mount a comeback. Final score: SRSS 5 Lord Selkirk 2. Evan Maynard and Ryker Enns were solid between the pipes. Next: The Sabres host the Lord Selkirk Royals on Monday, September 28 at 4:00 PM in the final tune-up before the annual Morris Mavericks Preseason tournament on October 1-3. Keep your stick on the ice!
