Alyssa Loeppky, 5, skates with the Nivervlle Skating Club and attends Niverville Elementary School. Alyssa started skating in October 2014 and has made a lot of progress since her first days.

The high school soccer season has drawn to a close.

The Clipper Ice Sports hockey season is in full swing. CIS has a record number of children participating in hockey this season. Niverville is also fortunate to host a regional Bantam AA girls hockey team which features many local players.

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. 

New this year at the Niverville Arena is free public skating and Sticks & Pucks. Public skating is proudly sponsored by Maple Leaf, Chicken Chef, Southern Comfort Mechanical, Von Ast Construction, Artel Farms, and The Great GORP Project.
