Yeah, I’m behind on this a bit but there was no way I would let this go because it’s one of the worst things ever perpetrated in sport.

The wait is finally over for Kiah Vail. She can play varsity women’s hockey again.

And so begins another season of what we hope will be plenty of curling for the country and the national championships that come with it.

Last season, the Yk Rec Hockey League kicked things off with 25 people allowed to play. It made for short benches, interesting shifts and the loss of a couple of teams because of the rules.

Going into the Home Hardware Pre-Trials in Liverpool, N.S., Kerry Galusha figured it would be a tough battle to get one of the two spots up for grabs in the main event later this month in Saskatoon.

Anyone who knows anything about Yellowknife will know that it’s a community which always looks after its own when it comes to fundraising or donations.

This week, Kerry Galusha and her rink are hard at it looking to win themselves a spot at the Tim Hortons Canadian Trials and a possible trip to the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China.

Recreational groups were forced to put their activities on hold for at least two weeks as the Town of Hay River suspended access to the community centre last week.

It’s no secret Team Galusha has been on a roll this season.

It seems like what’s old is new again when it comes to sports and recreation.
