On Jan. 21 the Neepawa Curling Club held their annual Youth Bonspiel. We had an excellent turn out with a total of sixteen entries in two divisions. There were six teams for the 17 and under division and ten teams for the 14 and under division. It was great to see the curling rink so busy with that many youth curlers and their supporters. Overall it was a very successful bonspiel with really good curling and sportsmanship on display.

Erica will commence her studies in the fall of 2018 and join her former Chief teammates Fredrickson and Anderson on the Cougars’ Hockey squad. McIntosh is an imposing defenseman whose edgy play often exaggerates her 5’9” stature. She is an effortless skater with the ability to carve her edges hugging the blue line on the attack.

The next night, Neepawa was beaten once again, this time by a 7-1 margin to the Minnedosa Bombers. In the showdown with Killarney, Matt Lowry and Ward Szucki scored for Neepawa. Following the defeat to the Shamrocks, the Farmers were then bested by Minnedosa.
