Lorette Scorpions Win Championship In their third season back in the Winnipeg High School Hockey League, the Lorette Scorpions have won the Winnipeg High School Hockey B-division championship on March 4. Riley Nagy, a Grade 12 forward, scored the winning goal with five minutes left in the third period to lift the Scorpions to a 3-2 victory over the defending champion Shaftesbury Titans on Sunday at the MTS Iceplex. Lorette won the bestof-three series 2-0 after posting a 3-2 shootout win on Saturday. Nagy, Kevin Holden and team captain Jesse Fraser were members of the team under head coach Laird Laluk when the Scorpions started up again three years ago after a lengthy absence from the WHSHL. “This is just unbelievable; it means so much to us. I really thought it would take another two years after I was gone before we’d win the cup. I’m so happy I got to be a part of it,” said Nagy. “Everyone on this team made a huge commitment to the program; we’re on the ice at 7 a.m. three days a week for practice and two games a week. Our coaches have had such a good influence on us and our grit — that’s what made the difference for us this year.” Frazer was also named the Winnipeg High School B-division tournament most valuable player. Fresh off their first win since the reintroduction of high school hockey at Lorette Collegiate, the Scorpions won the Winnipeg High School Hockey B-division championship. The Lorette Scorpions made it to the playoffs in its first year and to the final four last year.
RM of Hanover Shows Off Completed Projects By Marianne Curtis In the middle of February the RM of Hanover council had an opportunity to show off a trio of recently completed infrastructure projects located in three separate communities in the municipality. On February 18, RM of Hanover Reeve Stan Toews and members of the council spent a day visiting three new water and wastewater projects located in Grunthal, Kleefeld and New Bothwell. They were joined by Provencher MP Vic Toews. “I was pleased to visit three new infrastructure projects that have benefited from that funding in my riding of Provencher,” stated Toews. Back in October, Toews informed the RM of Hanover that they had been approved for $5.7 million in low cost loans for the projects. Funding for the projects was approved under the Municipal Infrastructure Lending Program.
