Montreal Canadiens alumni will take on a team of local Old Vets on Friday, Dec. 5 at the Barrhead Arena.

The R.F. Staples senior boys’ volleyball team continued it strong season, claiming top spot at an Edson tournament this weekend. “It was a successful weekend,” said head coach Steve McKenna. “Thee kids had a good time and learned some things.

Trailing 14-6 at the half, it seemed like the Westlock Thunderbirds’ 2014 season would come to a screeching halt on Saturday against the Wainwright Commandos.

The Barrhead Midget Renegades, Tier 4, team hosted the Winfield Ducks on Friday, Oct. 31 at the Barrhead Agrena.

The Barrhead Midget Steelers won't be playing any home, or away games in the near future, or at least for the time being. With the season still not assigned, the team is left sitting on the bench about where there season is headed.

A new club record was one of the accomplishments made at the recent Sinclair Challenge competition at the Athabasca Weightlifting Club. The Challenge, held Oct.

It isn’t often that you see two teams mingle together at the benches to listen to one coach give a brief talk before game. Then again, this year’s Bantam B teams in Athabasca are flowing a bit of a new program.

In the end, one quarter cost them a shot at another game. The Athabasca Pacers football team went to Wainwright last Saturday to face the Commandos in a Wheatland Division II quarterfinal game and couldn’t find their legs fast enough.

Athabasca’s other PeeWee hockey team is doing their best to not only play well and win, but to have fun also.

Sports are not always about winning, and that is the message the Barrhead FunTeam Hockey is sending. FunTeam Alberta is an association that was created by Dr. Randy Gregg in 1990 to teach kids the importance of being on a team.
