Four Sask. players named to Canada world junior hockey championship team
Dec 14, 2024
Berkly Catton, Brayden Yager, Caden Price and Tanner Howe were all named.
The hottest rivalry in sports right now is the Winnipeg Blue Bombers versus the Montreal Alouettes.
Forget Yankees/Red Sox or Canadiens/Bruins or Bears/Packers! By outscoring the Bombers 21-0 in the fourth quarter, the Alouettes upended the CFL’s top team 38-37 and made their next meeting, Oct. 12 in Winnipeg, a must-watch.
The lasting image from Saturday’s game came when Montreal quarterback Vernon Adams wrenched off the helmet of Adam Bighill, then swung it at the Winnipeg linebacker’s face. That somehow went unpenalized. There was already extra drama simmering below the surface because Bombers tailback Andrew Harris was returning from a two-game suspension for a positive drug test. Als defensive end John Bowman taunted Harris about cheating. Harris and Bowman had strong, anger-fuelled performances, but in the post-game scrums there was still lots of animosity.
As the saying goes, if you don’t like this one, you don’t like football.
