The MJHL club dropped a pair last weekend, first at home to Virden on Friday, Nov. 25 by the score of 3-2. Less than 24 hours later, Neepawa was upended in Portage la Prairie 7-4.

While 16,000 people packed the MTS Centre for WE Day on Nov. 18, the previous evening’s event was a little more intimate. Prior to WE Day, 150 students and teachers were invited to special dinner honouring the province’s most giving schools and students. NACI’s HOPE group, which has donated $25,000 to global projects and another $10,000 to local projects in recent year, was invited.
