On October 9-10, Niverville Collegiate and Providence College hosted a pair of volleyball tournaments for the Junior Varsity and Varsity boys teams.

The last time we saw our beloved Winnipeg Jets, they were licking their wounds from a first-round playoff sweep at the hands of the Anaheim Ducks. Many names have changed on the roster since then, but unlike most teams it wasn’t a big trade or flashy free agent signing that switched things up. Most of the changes have come from within, as some of their top prospects were able to claim spots on the opening day roster after a strong preseason.

Last month I wrote about my journey of walking more, getting up to 10,000 steps per day. I’m still reaching my 10,000 steps, and usually going out for walks at 10:00 at night. But I wanted to try something new, something way out of my comfort zone, an activity I never thought I would try. In fact, I’ve told myself countless times that I would never, ever try it. 

Local race care driver David Richert took two Winnipeg Jets and an Olympian gold medalist for the ride of their lives on September 10 at the Gimli Motorsports Park. Jets centre Mark Scheifele, goalie Michael Hutchinson, and freestyle skier Dara Howell hit speeds upward of 170 kilometres per hour.

This fall, the Town of Niverville has set aside funds to give the Niverville Curling Club some much-needed renovations to its aging facility.

Since 2003, Ray Dowse has spearheaded the annual Niverville Masters golf tournament. It started with 20 players, but over the years the event has grown significantly. There are now 42 players and a waiting list.
