The Innisfail Midget A Flyers are moving on to the semifinals in the Central Alberta Hockey League playoffs. The flyers swept the Medicine Hat Hounds 2-0 in the best-of-three quarter-final series, winning Game 1 at home 2-0 on Feb.

Innisfail and area skaters will have an opportunity to learn from one of Canada's best during a one-day workshop in early March. Ben Ferreira is a three-time Canadian national medallist, including the 2004 Canadian Senior Men's silver medallist.

The Innisfail Eagles are one win away from dethroning their archrivals and making history for local hockey.

The Sundre tier 3 midget Huskies are aiming to finish their season on a high note.

The Olds Broncos had nothing but admiration for the Medicine Hat College Rattlers, whose women's basketball team visited Olds College a mere two days after one of their members had died from injuries sustained in a car crash early last week.

Several hockey players from Olds and area played in the 2016 Alberta Winter Games this month. Cara Corsiatto and Charlie Wright were representing Zone 2 in the male tournament, winning silver.

Andreas Troschke won a gold medal in the youth weight throw at the 2016 Hershey Canadian Indoor Championships on Feb. 21. He threw for 21.45 metres, his second best performance.

Broncos centre Kyle Huffman has seen a lot in his time at Olds College.

Ask the Grizzlys what it will take to end the longest losing streak in recent memory and they'll tell you, inevitability. The last time Olds won a game was Jan. 22 in Camrose.

It took until the final weekend of the season, but Olds College's women's volleyball team is heading to the playoffs.
