Cubs season ends after losses in the Soo
Sue Nielsen Speaker Reporter
TEMISKAMING SHORES — After what the coach described as a “challenging” year, the New Liskeard Cubs’ season officially ended last weekend.
The 2024-2025 Great North U18 AAA League held a play-in round for the fifth, sixth and seventh place teams in Sault Ste. Marie March 7-9.
The Cubs placed seventh overall in the regular season with a record of 12 wins, 19 losses and one overtime loss. The U16 Soo Jr. Greyhounds were fifth and the U16 North Bay Trappers sixth.
The Greyhounds defeated the Trappers 5-2 on Sunday to advance to the Great North’s postseason tournament in Timmins March 12-16, where the top five teams will compete for the league championship.
It was a “hard way to end the season,” noted coach Jonathan Blier in a telephone interview.
The Cubs played each team once on March 8, losing 8-0 to the Trappers and then getting outrun later that day by the Greyhounds 5-2.
New Liskeard’s season may be best detailed in the statistics where they tallied 108 goals for but allowed 145 goals against. The team played with a physicality that led them to acquire 535 penalty minutes, sixth out of the nine teams.
Blier emphasized the challenging aspect of the team’s season

AC15 supports community in memory of Alexa Corneil
Sue Nielsen Speaker Reporter
TEMISKAMING SHORES — Sixteen women’s hockey teams are gathering in Temiskaming Shores from March 21-23 to celebrate the enduring legacy of a gifted female hockey player, Alexa Corneil.
But it’s also an occasion to raise funds to support community improvements such as Shaver Park in North Cobalt.
Corneil was a multi-sport athlete but hockey was her passion.
She tragically passed away in 2017 at the age of 19 due to a heart arrhythmia, but her legacy of promoting women’s hockey locally lives on when the puck drops for the fifth edition of the AC15 Memorial Hockey Tournament at the Don Shep-herdson Memorial Arena.
Corneil began playing minor hockey for the Temiskaming Shores Minor Hockey Association Pinkhounds, always wearing sweater #15.
“It’s going to be an unforgettable night with great live music, dancing, and plenty of fun,” said AC15 tournament organizer Emily Hall, who was also a friend and teammate of Corneil.
“Our goal is to continue to grow and keep the momentum going for years. We believe we can get 20 teams next year.”
The organizing committee is thrilled to invite all teams, friends, families, and sponsors to join them for the weekend.
TOURNAMENT GROWTH
New this year: games will take place at The Shep in New Liskeard and at the Shelley Herbert-Shea Memorial Arena in Haileybury.
“We are excited to be granted access to both arenas this year, which has really helped us grow the tournament. We’re also welcoming 16 women’s teams which is the largest group we’ve had so far. We are excited to have teams coming from all over Ontario and Quebec.”
EVENT LIST
She wants people to know that, besides the great hockey, there are several key initiatives taking place during the weekend.
There is an online auction being offered via the AC15 Facebook page, a 50/50 draw will take place, a raffle featuring Boston Bruins and Minnesota Wild jerseys donated by Justin Brazeau, a raffle table with prizes donated by local sponsors, and a celebrity hockey game takes place featuring the Mighty Docs (local health care professionals) and the local members of the Ontario Provincial Police on March 21 at 7 p.m.
There are also AED/CPR training sessions, a social and dance at the Bun Eckensviller Memorial Community Hall, a beer garden will be available in lobby at The Shep hosted by Tri-Town Ski and Snowboard Village volunteers, and AC15 merchandise will be for sale.
There is a more in-depth one hour AED/CPR skills program being offered this year, which to the Corneil family is an important part of the weekend’s activities and could help save a life in a critical situation.
If people can’t make it to the games they can still help the cause by taking part in the
silent auction or donating directly via e-transfer to ac15hockey@gmail. com.
Charitable receipts will be provided for any amounts over $20.
The Saturday night dance features the talents of local musicians Richard Benoit and Carl Falls.
“Last year’s dance was a huge success and it was wonderful to see everyone come together to have a great time off the ice,” said Hall.
BRAZEAU JERSEY
The area’s favourite National Hockey League star, Justin Brazeau, and his family are back to support the AC15 fundraiser again this year.
He was traded at the deadline to the Minnesota Wild and he’s donated a jersey to help raise funds for the tournament. Brazeau will sign both jerseys when he comes back home this summer.
To get your tickets, private message or text 705-648-5666 with your name and phone number. All e-transfer are sent to ac15hockey@gmail.com.
Last year the tournament scored $24,000 for the North Cobalt Shaver Park upgrades, part of a $50,000 commitment from tournament organizers to the City of Temiskaming Shores.
“All the money raised during the weekend will go back into the community to support initiatives that Alexa would have cared deeply about,” added Hall.
Local Loon making waves in the pool
Sue Nielsen Speaker Reporter
TEMISKAMING SHORES — Colton
Flaxey and his teammates from the Temiskaming Northern Loons Swim Club (TNLSC) are making big waves in the pool this year with their swimming prowess.
The TNLSC is a competitive swim club for children and youth ages six to 18, using the Waterfront Pool and Fitness Centre in New Liskeard as their base.
Flaxey, 11, is a Grade 6 student
at New Liskeard Public School in his fourth year swimming with the Loons.
As soon as he was old enough to swim his parents say he was interested in being part of the local swim club.
His strong events include the backstroke and freestyle.
He dove into his season with a great showing in the Canadian rankings including placing seventh in the 200-metre (m) freestyle, eighth in the 400m freestyle and 13th in the 100m freestyle for his age bracket.
Colton Flaxey
His most rewarding accomplishment came when he
competed at the Ontario Age Groups meet held in Markham two weeks ago and placed fourth in the 200m freestyle.
There were 89 clubs competing in the Markham meet.
The Loons achieved eight Ontario Swimming Championship qualifying times and nine personal best times.
Flaxey loves swimming in competitions and he is grateful to his fellow teammates and coaches for their support of himself and all the swimmers in the club.
Teammates Jada Utas and Sophia Mayhew also attended the Markham meet where they represented the club very well.
Colton is a multi-sport athlete who plays basketball and he loves to downhill ski. His swimming hero is American swimming legend Michael Phelps.
He and his fellow Loon swimmers will be back in the pool for a competition in July in Etobicoke for the Ontario Youth Championships.

The 2025 NHL trade deadline day has come to a wild end, as had been predicted, so some big names move on to greener pastures while other clubs get a handful of junior draft picks in June for hopefully a great future. It really began with Chicago Blackhawks defenceman Seth Jones who wanted to be moved, so the Florida Panthers will be his new home. Chicago retains 26 per cent of his current wage and a gets goaltender Spencer Knight and a 2026 first round pick.
Tampa made a great move nabbing centre Yanni Gourde from Seattle, which saw transactions going both ways. Florida didn’t stop there by getting goaltender Vitek Vanecek from the Sharks as Patrick Giles is now in San Jose.
Boston looks to be selling as Trent Frederic, Max Jones and Petr Hauser join the Oilers for Max Wanner and draft picks. In another key move our hometown Bruin
STRAIGHT FROM THE HIP
Justin Brazeau is now a member of the Minnesota Wild as Boston picked up a couple of players.
Brock Nelson joins Colorado, the Oilers now have defenceman Jake Walman, meanwhile the Jets picked up forward Brandon Tanev from the Kraken, then brought in defenceman Luke Schenn.
Ottawa traded Josh Norris and Jacob Bernard-Docker to Buffalo who gave up Dylan Cozens and Dennis Gilbert. The most talked about player, Mikko Rantanen, who was in Colorado, was traded to Carolina and now moves on to Dallas for Logan Stankoven plus two first round picks.
The Leafs picked up their new centre Scott Laughton plus draft picks both ways, plus Boston d-man Brandon Carlo. More trades are to come so next week I’ll tell you who won and who lost!
OVERTIME
• If there is one Toronto Maple Leaf that deserves a raise
Mike McArthur
it’s Matthew Knies by a country mile. Never mind Tavares and yes Mitch Marner (if the Leafs win two rounds in the playoffs maybe), but Knies reminds me of the great Frank Mahovlich who was a natural goal scorer and never quits. Knies was tied for third in the NHL with 19 goals at five-on-five and likely is looking for $7 million a year, but knowing how the Leaf management reacts he would get offered $5 million or $6.5 unless your name is Auston Matthews who is in a slump making millions more. Knies hopefully gets a fair deal or jumps ship, taking his talents to a franchise that will appreciate him.
• On hearing of the tariffs from

stuff
48. Bodybuilder’s place
Trump and what it will do, especially to this country, I did think what it could do to all professional sports teams that play in North America and elsewhere. It has to hurt the bottom line and after reading the concerns from NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, especially that all salaries are paid in American dollars and that our seven Canadian franchises account for 25 per cent of the league’s revenue. He is hoping this can be cleared up with a quick resolution to what he believes is a “policy issue” between the two countries. This also affects the NHL’s sponsors, which might change if it’s not dealt with as well. The league expects to exceed $7 billion this year with a strong attendance at 96.7 per cent capacity in 2024-25 plus record ratings. It may be just bad timing with all the tariffs piling up that Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment (MLSE) is cutting 80 jobs or 10 per cent of its workforce as part of a company-wide restructuring plan. Hard to be -
lieve what with the total value of this organization, one of the richest in the NHL.
• Pete Rose was his own worst enemy after being one of the top players in every baseball park he played in. He was nicknamed “Charlie Hustle” for his talents. Now, after not being allowed into Baseball’s Hall of Fame for gambling issues and turned away by different league commissioners, the President of the USA says he’ll pardon him. Rose told many folks after he passed away he would get in the Hall from up above, which would satisfy him and his family.
• Finally, Major League Baseball’s exhibition games are in full swing, so fans really don’t need to be in Florida as many games are on Sportsnet, etc. It will give you a pretty good chance to see the new and old faces in all the lineups, so enjoy.
SPORTS SHORTS Cubs season ends
The New Liskeard Cubs battled hard all season long through some challenging times with injuries resulting in a shortened bench.
They went to a three-team tournament in the Sault last weekend and lost both games, thus ending their 2024-2025 season.
In the Great North U18 AAA League, you can’t be a contender unless you have a full roster of players.
Even the U16 teams in the Great North were strong this year.
Just look at the U16 Soo Jr. Greyhounds who punched their ticket to the Great North Championship in Timmins starting this week by winning the mini Sault playoff.
I liked what Cub coach Jonathan Blier said about the team and the community when I interviewed him last Sunday.
He said the Cubs and the players are to be viewed well beyond what they do on the ice, with a lens towards the entire community.
He said the support the team receives from sponsors and fans made him and the players feel like they were a part of a family.
Kudos to you, Jonathan, and the team. Better luck next year!
BRAZEAU TRADED
I had been looking for Justin Brazeau in the Boston Bruins games and hadn’t seen him of late.
I feared that the big fellow was injured but such was not the case.
As the National Hockey League trade deadline loomed last week, you sort of knew a trade was imminent concerning our hockey hero.
And finally it was announced that Brazeau was being traded to the Minnesota Wild.
Someone on Facebook posted
the trade news and it was interesting to see the comment left by one individual.
He said Brazeau was a “suitcase” player.
Yes, he has a suitcase full of awards and accomplishments so far from his Ontario Hockey League and professional career.
Good luck Justin!
PATRIOTISM
In my Sport Shorts column last week I said Wayne Gretzky disappointed me because of his actions at the 4 Nations Cup. Canadians from coast to coast are levelling criticism against the Great One since that tournament. Gretzky’s affiliation with Donald Trump as tensions between Canada and the U.S. continue are the bone of contention with some people.
Hockey superstar Bobby Orr came to Gretzky’s defence in a story published in the Toronto Sun and even Gretzky’s wife, Janet, spoke up about her husband.
But it’s unsurprising that Orr would support Gretzky when he (Orr) took out a full-page newspaper ad last October endorsing Trump’s presidential bid.
Actually, for me it began well before the 4 Nations Cup when Gretzky cozied up to Donald Trump at Mar a Lago and when Gretzky wore a Make America Great Again hat as Trump’s buddy. At best, it is confusing as to which side Wayne is on. Is he endorsing Trump and his hurtful tariffs against Canada or is he defending Canada?
So instead of Gretzky’s wife and friend speaking for him, when is Wayne going to speak for himself?
When is he going to denounce Trump and his attacks on Canadian sovereignty and defend his homeland?
Hey Wayne, you miss 100 per cent of the shots you don’t take. Go ahead Wayne, score one or two for the true north strong and free.

Apollos leave mark at OFSAA volleyball championship
Sue Nielsen Speaker Reporter
TEMISKAMING SHORES — Perhaps they were the “underdogs” heading to the OFSAA Girls volleyball championship, but they played their hearts out nonetheless.
The Ecole secondaire catholique Sainte-Marie (ESCSM) athletic program is celebrating an incredible season for the team that qualified for the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) Senior Girls A Volleyball Championship, held in Toronto March 3-5.
“OFSAA was a perfect way to end our volleyball season,” said Apollos coach Richard Walkingshaw in an email interview.
“We might not always compete when the northern teams go to OFSAA, but deep down the coaches know that the multiple hours spent in the gym were well worth it. I had a great group of girls this year that made coaching them a breeze. I am already thinking of next year’s season.”
The Apollos had a winning season with 21 wins and seven losses in league play.
They earned a berth at OFSAA from a championship win at the North Eastern Ontario Athletic Association (NEOAA) Championships held February 19.
The Apollos were seeded 17th out of 20 teams at OFSAA.
“Our girls were very competitive at OFSAA,” said ESCSM coach Richard Walkingshaw in an email interview.
It was his hope going into the tournament that his team would be competitive and have a good showing.
He said his team began the provincials by losing two straight
sets to Hamilton District Christian School who were ranked fourth.
“We then stole a set from the 10th seed Ecole secondaire catholique St. Charles Garnier, but probably could have won that match if we would have maximized our mental lapses.”
The team’s third match was against the 13th seed and they won three sets guaranteeing the Apollos a consolation quarterfinal game.
“We probably played our best volleyball of the year in the quarter-finals but we made a couple of mistakes that cost us (appearing in) the semifinal game.”
The Apollos are an experienced, well-rounded team of multi-sport athletes who have a high drive for winning.
“The girls had a blast at OFSAA in Toronto. We started off with the banquet on Sunday evening. We played some very competitive games, managed to squeeze in some shopping and hung out together during our down times,” said Walkingshaw.
He says the bond they have built as a team is almost like family and there was no quit in his team at OFSAA.
Local cadet corps takes their best shot at Zone event
Sue Nielsen Speaker Reporter
DISTRICT — Area cadets took their best shots at the North Bay Zone Marksmanship Meet, held February 22.
The 2344 Algonquin Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps from New Liskeard and the 355 Polaris Squadron Royal Canadian Air Cadets from Englehart competed in the event.
Individual cadets participated in different levels of competition showing off their shooting skills at the all-day competition.
Cadets range in age from 12 to 18 and take their training in their army, air or sea cadet squadrons from across the Northeast region.
The Canadian Cadet Movement Marksmanship Championship Series (CCMMCS) is conducted annually in four stages: Corps/ Squadron Selection, Zone Competition, Provincial Competition and National Competition.
“Once the results are tabulated from four other zones in Northern Ontario a team will be picked to compete in Trenton, Ontario,” said Algonquin cadets Captain Daniel Desilets in an email interview.
“The Trenton competition will be held to pick Team Ontario that will compete at the Nationals being held at the Ontario Convention Centre this coming July,” he said.
The cadet marksmanship program aims to teach cadets safe and proper firearm usage for
recreational purposes.

Why you should avoid eating (too) quickly
(NC) Oral cancer includes cancers of the mouth, lips, tongue or throat. It is a serious, potentially life-threatening condition. However, if detected early, it can respond well to treatment.
Do you tend to devour your entire plate in a few mouthfuls? Do you know someone who gobbles down their meals at lightning speed? If so, you should know that this habit can be harmful in several ways. Here’s how.
Firstly, when you eat fast, your taste buds have less time to appreciate the taste of the food. This is unfortunate because eating should be enjoyable. Fast eaters also tend to eat larger portions, mainly because the brain needs time to feel full or satiated.
Several risk factors contribute to the development of oral cancer. These include tobacco use, excessive alcohol consumption, prolonged sun exposure to the lips, and infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV). By quitting smoking, reducing alcohol intake, and getting vaccinated against HPV, individuals can lower their risk.
Firstly, when you eat fast, your taste buds have less time to appreciate the taste of the food. This is unfortunate because eating should be enjoyable. Fast eaters also tend to eat larger portions, mainly because the brain needs time to feel full or satiated.

Regular appointments with an oral health professional are just as important and can be crucial for early detection of cancerous lesions. Dental hygienists perform oral cancer screenings at each visit and can identify suspicious changes that require further investigation.

Lastly, fast eaters tend to feel more tired after meals, which can affect their mood.
TAKE YOUR TIME!
Additionally, many people who eat quickly take large mouthfuls and don’t chew their food well. This can cause choking and digestive issues, such as bloating, gas and cramps.
Between visits, people should perform selfexams to check for signs or symptoms of oral cancer. These include persistent mouth sores or red and white patches that do not heal within 14 days, lumps or thickening of tissues, and difficulty swallowing. If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to seek professional advice promptly.
Learn to eat more slowly to avoid these problems. For example, you can try setting yourself the goal of taking at least 20 minutes to eat your meals. You can also try putting down your utensils between each mouthful.

Understanding the risks and taking proactive steps can help protect against oral cancer. Regular oral health care appointments, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, using lip balm with UV protection and being aware of symptoms are key to maintaining good oral health.

Cubs season ends after losses in the Soo

in his comments.
“In all my time in hockey, this has been the most challenging season of all,” said Blier.
“We did not play a single game with a full lineup that we picked to make this team this season. We played games with four and five players out of the lineup. It was tough and there were hard days. This past weekend it was hard for the players and us coaches. But you move forward and you take the positives from what you have gone through. Hopefully those players, when they face adversity in their lives, they will have learned from their time in hockey to handle those situations.”
U16 TRAPPERS 8 CUBS 0
Coach Blier said the 8-0 defeat was a game that he would rather put behind him.
“It was a tough one. It might have been one of our worst games we played this season but we tried to forget it and move on to the U16 Greyhound game.”
North Bay’s Cedar Montreuil had a standout game scoring five of his team’s eight goals against the Cubs.
The Cubs became ensnared in a four-goal deficit in the first period when the Trappers had two goals came from Montreuil and singles from Emerik Bray and Ty Dubreuil.
In the second period it was the Montreuil show again when he netted a pair of goals to give his team a 6-0 lead heading into the final frame.
In the third period, Phillippe Lafontaine and Montreuil scored singles to end the game 8-0 for the Trappers.
Matt Leitch and Cooper Peever shared the goaltending duties for the Cubs, while North Bay’s Bruce Laronde was credited with the shutout win.
The Cubs were given five minor penalties, with three 10-minute misconducts assessed to Maverick Hill.
The Trappers were assessed five minors.
U16 JR. GREYHOUNDS 5 CUBS 2
“We were in that game and I thought we played well,” said Blier of the 5-2 defeat at the hands of the U16 Jr. Greyhounds.
The game was evenly matched in the first period when no team scored a goal.
The score was tied 1-1 after the second period when the teams

traded goals.
Scoring for the Cubs was Cameron Olsen, assisted by Thomas Rannou and Ethan Roy.
The Sault goal came from Wyatt Jarratt.
But the Greyhounds kept coming in the third period with goals from Adam Pszeniczny, Brett Archambault, Nico Bossio and Jarratt.
The lone scorer in the final frame for the Cubs was Kyle Cloutier, unassisted.
Each team had four minor penalties in the game.
The Soo’s Tanner Carriere got the win while Matt Leitch took the loss in net for the Cubs.
“We put in a good effort in that game.”
LOOKING AHEAD
Blier said overall his coaching staff will debrief in practice this week.
“There are lots of lessons to be learned from our season. I have had some winning years and some not so good years. Hockey gives you life lessons and hopefully the players will have learned from this season. We will take a fresh look at next year’s season,” he said.
“We hoped to make leaders of our players and through the ups and downs they learned things about themselves. The end of a season is hard. A season like ours builds resilience and some players will return, some will go on to University or the (Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League) to play and we hope they have learned things and are better for it.”
The coach thanked the Cubs administration, the volunteers, the players, his fellow coaches, the fans, the volunteers, the media and the community for supporting the team.
“The Cubs are a community team and it is like a family the way we are supported. Thanks to everyone who helped us along the way,” said Blier.
He mentioned he will be watching how the Timmins Great North Championship tournament plays out next weekend, but he isn’t going to Timmins to watch the games.
Blier said he will be returning to the team next season as the bench boss. He will begin to put together the new Cub roster during the spring training camp being held the first week of May.

Junior Saints win basketball title, NEOAA next
Sue Nielsen Speaker Reporter
TEMISKAMING SHORES — The Saints defeated the Apollos to advance to the North Eastern Ontario Athletic Association (NEOAA) Junior Girls Basketball Championships in Timmins on November 7.
When the final buzzer rang October 28, the score was 2819 for the Timiskaming District Secondary School (TDSS) Saints.
It was an upset victory for TDSS, who went into South NEOAA, hosted by Ecole secondaire catholique Sainte-Marie (ESCSM), as one of the underdogs.
The Saints led for most of the game from the tip-off onward.
The Apollos were the favourites as they finished first in SNEOAA league play with five wins and one loss - and they were playing on home court in front of their fan base.
The Saints finished their season with four wins and two losses but continued to improve game after game.
The other teams in the league were Kirkland Lake District Composite School and Englehart High School.
The Saints are coached by Lorna Desmarais and Katrina Code.

COLEMAN TOWNSHIP — It was a great day for cross-country running.
Athletes from Timiskaming District Secondary School (TDSS) and Englehart High School (EHS) were among the 138 competitors at the North Eastern Ontario Athletic Association (NEOAA) Cross-Country Championships, held at the Temiskaming Nordic Ski Club on October 22.
TDSS had 14 runners qualify to compete against the best crosscountry runners in the province at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) Cross-Country Championships, being held in Ottawa on November 4.
Representing the Saints are
Nathan Barton, Emerson Spence, Liam Leblanc, Tanush Julka, Halo Lunn, Madelyn Stewart, Myles Desilets and Andrew Cull.
They all qualified for OFSAA as individuals, noted coach Courtney Barker.
EHS had a group of 16 runners this year and qualified Senior Girls Karly Charlton, Addison LaCarte, Kate Parker, Reese Blackburn and Macartney Boisvenue.
Also Novice Boy Ryan Tankard qualified for the provincials.
“We unfortunately did not do as well as previous years, despite the dedication from our athletes,” said EHS running coach Mike Anderson in an email interview.
“Many athletes missed qualifying for OFSAA by one or two places. There was some really great competition all around this year and I am still proud of our team.”
All runners were part of a field of athletes seeking cross-country glory during the event that had sunny skies and unseasonably warm temperatures on the day.
Groups of runners from each school claimed a spot around the grounds of the ski club to plot strategy and pump each other up. BEAUTY OF A DAY
Organizers of NEOAA were TDSS teachers Thomas and Courtney Barker, who were assisted by other teachers and retired teachers, making it a memorable day of running on the beautiful trails with fall foliage in full bloom.
“Everything went very smoothly, the weather was fantastic,” said Courtney Barker in an email interview.
“We could not have asked for a better day. Many of the same volunteers from our (October 8) invitational helped with NEOAA, which is why everything goes so smoothly. We were all involved in sport in some way throughout our lives growing up as student athletes, and in our careers moving from athletes to coaches and volunteers.”
She said the fact that each volunteer had a connection to

Cubs look to rebound after 5-4 loss to Kap Flyers
Sue Nielsen Speaker Reporter
TEMISKAMING SHORES — The New Liskeard Cubs lost 5-4 to the Kapuskasing Flyers during Friday night’s home game.
The Flyers were winless in Great North U18 League play heading into the October 25 game at the Don Shepherdson Memorial Arena.
The stars aligned for the Flyers when they made a third period push scoring two goals to take the game 5-4.
“Collectively we did not play well enough to win the game,” said Cub coach Jonathan Blier in a telephone interview.
be more aggressive, not even aggressive but push the pace more.”
“There was a lot of stuff I didn’t like about the game. In the end I just find we need to be better on the one-on-one battles and make sure we stick to our plan, we need to be better on puck support and be more active. We have to
Blier said his team created a lot of chances to score during that game but they also missed a lot of scoring chances that the Flyers ended up capitalizing on to win the game.
The Cubs needed a win under their belt after going winless at the Ottawa Showcase Tournament the weekend before and having a tough weekend on the road in Sudbury with previous league games.
Coach Blier is not discouraged,

Etiquette 101
The second major cross-country run hosted by Temiskaming District Secondary School took place last week on the beautiful trails at the Temiskaming Nordic Ski Club.
It was the North Eastern Ontario Athletic Association (NEOAA) championships, held under sunny skies. Runners from across our Northern region could qualify to compete at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) CrossCountry Championships being held in Ottawa November 4. Congratulations to all the runners from near and far who qualified for OFSAA.

running team taking most of the top spots in all the divisions. Those runners may be some of the best cross-country runners in the north and province, but some definitely lacked running etiquette.
At a certain point in the sixkilometre course for the senior runners, there is a large hill that runners have to climb and then navigate coming down the other side.
A large group of Thériault Junior runners were standing half way up that hill waiting for their runners to come over the hill. They were cheering loudly for their teammates, but when they stepped out onto the middle
of the course in front of two Englehart High School runners coming down the hill, that was not cool.
And there were more runners coming along as well so it was not only terrible etiquette, it was dangerous for the runners coming down that hill at a fast clip to have those kids casually walking along in the middle of the course in front of them.
Those runners who stepped out onto the course clearly in the way of oncoming runners that day were Juniors so we may cut them a bit of slack, but not much more.
FERNANDO VALENZUELA
The news that Fernando Valenzuela, the famous Dodgers pitcher, has died at age 63 is sad.
I remember watching him pitch, that look to the sky, his screwball pitch and big smile was wonderful.

CROSSWORD
Baseball World Series could be finished.
It is exciting to finally be able to watch the World Series between the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers. There’s a ton of ex-Blue Jay players involved in this championship, but none that catch my eye more than Teoscar Hernandez of the Dodgers. He’s been on fire for L.A. this season after being on the freeagent market where the Jays decided they didn’t need his talents. He finished second only to Shohei Ohtani on the Dodgers in both homers and RBIs in 2024. I hope he tears the cover off the ball during the series.

STRAIGHT FROM THE HIP HOG LINE REPORT
I know the NHL season is only a month old, but after seeing most of the teams, or reading the makeup of them, I can tell you those teams that are NOT a Stanley Cup winner beginning with Buffalo followed by Detroit, Chicago, Columbus, Montreal, Ottawa, Utah, Calgary, Philadelphia, Anaheim and San Jose. I could add a couple of more, but for now I’ll stick with my first predictions.
Mike McArthur
The big fuss by Max Pacioretty when he was told he was a healthy scratch a week or so ago leaves many Leaf fans wondering - what’s his problem? This guy was given a professional tryout by management and made the club, but let’s remember his age, the number of games he has missed over the past few years as he should thank his lucky stars he is where he is. In fact, he has suited up again since sitting out and now must prove he still has a little more gas in his tank.
Hopefully he is still around for Christmas and the playoffs.
I wish those Toronto sports media folks that cover the Maple Leafs would just let Berube coach this team his way as that’s what he is paid to do. The problem I see is that some players think they know more than him, which hopefully will lead to their playing elsewhere. Toronto’s biggest problem is consistency and that’s why they have a tough guy to instill this in every game! Just how good the Leafs looked a couple of weeks ago against Tampa Bay sums up what they can do under a new coach. By the way, Pacioretty is now moved to the injury list, which I figured might happen considering his age and past injuries. Good luck Craig.
OVERTIME
• I remember when Gordie Howe played hockey with his sons Mark and Marty in Houston during the short-lived World Hockey Association where many former NHL players jumped ship from the NHL for more money. Also, I remember the Sutter brothers playing together with many teams in the NHL so, when I saw 20-year-old Bronny James playing his very first NBA league game
LOCKER ROOM CHATTER
With Chip McDivott
Haileybury Golf Club (HGC) members are reminded of the annual general meeting which goes Sunday, November 10, at 1 p.m. in the dining hall at the clubhouse.
with his father LeBron, it was very special, even though many critics think James has too much power, even when the franchise drafted Bronny. James is by far one of the best to ever play basketball in the world so what’s the big deal? If Bronny can play in this league and deserves to be there I say good for him. Like Tiger Woods’ son Charlie, the pressure to live up to a father’s talent is tough and Bronny is in the same boat. I would think if both young guys can handle the fans and media it’s great. Good luck to them both.
• The CFL playoffs are just around the corner with Montreal the team to beat. The teams that got somewhat better include the Argos, Winnipeg and don’t count out Saskatchewan or B.C. Anything can happen as the fans are sure in for some upsets.
• The next time you hear anyone give the Toronto Raptors a cheap shot based on this year’s chances of making the playoffs and being close to having one of the worst teams, let’s remember back to 2019 when they captured the championship and put Toronto on the map. And now just think of the franchises that have never won any sort of a title as of today. I’ll start with Brooklyn followed by Charlotte, Indiana, L.A. Clippers, Memphis, Minnesota, New Orleans, Orlando, Phoenix and Utah. So, take a deep breath and enjoy what we have and remember things hopefully will get better as they re-build this team.
• And finally, what does it take to re-sign Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to a new Blue Jays contract, especially after winning the Sporting News AL Comeback Player of the Year award? Yes, he deserves the raise and so do the majority of fans that love to see him play either at first base or at third or at the plate with his awesome talent. The ownership MUST step up now and get him on the dotted line.
With Angus McStone
A big thank you to the ice crew under S. McLean for the ice installation for the 2024-25 season at the Haileybury Curling Club (HCC), and to the Afternoon Open Curlers that joined in to help get the lines down in the only Line Dancing competition you will ever see on a sheet of ice.
Tonight (Wednesday) is the first of two open houses for the club. Ice will be available from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. to come and throw a stone or two. Beverages, of course, are available. Register yourself and get ready to go.
A second open house will be held Friday, November 1, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Great chance for the first date night of the curling season! Come on down.
All teams for both Men’s and Ladies’ draws will convene for the first round of friendlies on Wednesday, November 6 and 7, to kick off the year.
RENOVATIONS COMPLETE
Pretty much everything on S. Hearn’s wish list has been completed in the club.
The kitchen has been upgraded with commercial grade stoves and ovens, a large refrigerator and dishwasher. Tons of storage for place settings and cutlery.
The main clubroom received a new coat of paint, with LED lighting installed throughout.
What you won’t notice are the changes to the ice making equipment. A new chiller was installed along with a new condenser. Everything points to a great start to the new curling season.
THE DRAWS Afternoon Open Curling will scheduled to begin October 29 (guess you’ve missed it if you weren’t there) but will skip October 31 for obvious reasons.
First stone goes at 1:30 p.m. so please no later than 1:15 to allow teams to be made up.
Regular Men’s Draw is 7:30 p.m. on Wednesdays, while the Mixed Draw goes Thursdays at 7:30 p.m.
Your feedback at the bar would help, as the club entertains the idea of moving a Thursday draw to Friday to change things up a little.
FEES
Fees are up a little this year, and are all taxes-in, Northern Ontario Curling Association membership fee included, along with a 2026 AGM dinner ticket. Student rates are $235 for the year. New members may join for $300, which is also the rate for Afternoon Open Curling.
Entry to either the Mixed League or Men’s League is $375, while the All Access Membership is $450.
Cross-country runners on the trail to OFSAA
Continued from 1B athletics makes it work so well and “that aspect makes us all love to be out running the meets as we enjoyed the sport ourselves. I greatly appreciated everyone’s help,” she said.
QUALIFYING
From the NEOAA championships, the top two teams
consisting of five runners and one spare and the top five individuals qualify for OFSAA.
There are 18 regional associations across the province from which athletes may qualify.
Barker continued to acknowledge all the volunteers who help out with cross-country running events.
“Another big thank you to all of the teacher coaches for their time and energy spent coaching over the season. Without any volunteers or coaches school sports would be impossible, so we are very grateful for everyone that is involved,” she noted.
Junior Saints win basketball title, NEOAA next
Continued from 1B
loss the Apollos had was against us at the beginning of the season,” said Desmarais after the game.
“It was their home court and they had the better record. But we kept coming at them and our rebounding was good. We really picked our game up at the end. We played with a solid zone defence today.”
She said the games between the two teams all season long were very competitive and close
in score.
It was still undecided as of Monday whether the Apollos would be going to NEOAA as the wild card entry.
The convenor of NEOAA had to make that decision and it wasn’t
available by the time The Speaker went to print.
Because Junior teams don’t advance to provincial championships, the Saints are looking to make NEOAA their crowning achievement.
Business to be covered from the current season includes:
• President’s Report
• Financial Statements
• Proposed Budget for 2025
• Setting of Membership Rates for 2025
• Election of officers for the board of directors
It has been a good year for the Haileybury Golf Club. Participation from volunteers has been tremendous. The AGM is a good opportunity to see what your executive has done and plans to do.

HUDSON EUCHRE
New Liskeard opened the scoring with a goal from Captain Ryan Miller.
Bid euchre at the Hudson Hall is now at 1:15 p.m. on Tuesdays, all are welcome.
NORTHDALE EUCHRE
Perhaps the story of the game was the performance of Miller, who got a hat trick by scoring in each of the three periods of play.
When the first period buzzer sounded to end the period, the Cubs were in the lead 1-0.
Bid euchre is played every Saturday at Northdale Manor in New Liskeard at 1 p.m. Use the parking lot entrance to attend.
HANDS AND FOOT
Assisting on the Miller goal were Thomas Rannou and David Sayeau.
The card game Hands and Foot is played every Monday at 1 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion in Haileybury. Everyone is welcome.
DUPLICATE BRIDGE
Miller once again opened up the scoring in the second period getting the Cubs out to an early 2-0 lead, but the Flyers responded with goals from Lex Lamontagne, Nichola Hallet and William Fournier.
The Cubs scored one more goal off the stick of Jayden Webster to head to the dressing room with a 3-2 lead.
The local Duplicate Bridge Club meets in the Lions Den behind the Lawrence “Bun” Eckensviller Community Hall in New Liskeard Thursdays at 7 p.m. Partners are available, call 705-647-7198 for more information.
HAILEYBURY GOLF CLUB
The third period saw Miller once again chip in the first goal of the frame and his third of the night. Assists went to Cameron Olsen and Maverick Hill.
But that was all the scoring New Liskeard could muster while the Flyers found their groove and scored two more goals to win the game 5-4.
Scoring for Kap were Lamontagne and Fournier.
The Cubs took nine minor penalties versus the Flyers’ eight.
The coach said there were a lot of penalties but the game wasn’t rough.
Fall golf continues at the Haileybury Golf Club, but power carts are not available. The annual general meeting is scheduled for Sunday, November 10, at 1 p.m. in the clubhouse. Members are invited to attend. To be discussed: financials for 2024, a budget for 2025, election of officers for 2025 and setting membership rates for 2025. Agenda items should be sent in writing to Kelly Howard at kellyhoward5611@ gmail.com by October 20. Nomination forms for the board of directors is available on the website at www. haileyburygolfclub.com.
“One of the good things is we create chances but we missed chances to score. We need to be better on capitalizing on our chances and we will work on penalty kills and power plays in practice because Kap scored on power plays. Special units are some of the stuff I have seen with the team that we can improve on,” said Blier.
Looking to reach new heights in advertising?
“I believe in the group we have and unfortunately sometimes you need these wake-up calls. (Because we didn’t) play like we can we suffered a loss and gave Kap their first win. They stayed in the game and when they had a chance to capitalize in the end they did. You have to be prepared to compete for 60 minutes or you will find out the hard way.”
Contact Brenda or Christine for more information.
Blier said the team is still dealing with flu-like illness and on the injured list are Owen Norris and goalie Matt Leitch.
IT’S A WIN-WIN SITUATION WITH A TALL TWIST!
“Leitch is close to coming back, maybe in a week or two,” said the coach.
New Liskeard will host the North Bay U16 Trappers Friday, November 1, and then head to the Big Nickel Tournament in Sudbury November 7-10.
“The Big Nickel Tournament was a turning point for our team last year when we played the number one team in the province. We came back with a fresh outlook and began to win games. Hopefully that is what will happen to us at that event.”
Educate your kids about bullying
Empathy: How to combat bullying through kindness
Understanding and sharing the emotions of others is what empathy is all about. When it comes to bullying, you can gain valuable insight into someone else’s struggles and emotions by putting yourself in their shoes. Here’s how to fight bullying with empathy.
and encourage people to share their unique perspectives and experiences.
It’s important to teach your children about bullying. Here are three tips for starting the conversation at home.
TEACH THEM TO IDENTIFY IT
others are being mistreated and demonstrate empathy for those who are different.
LISTEN. Take the time to genuinely listen to others, especially those who may feel isolated or vulnerable. By showing empathy and understanding, you can create a safe space for people to share their experiences and feelings.
Bullying can take many different forms. Ensure your children understand that mistreating someone is wrong and can have serious consequences at home, school and in their community. If your children learn about bullying, they’ll be able to identify the behaviour and understand if it’s happening to them or someone else.
TALK ABOUT IT OPENLY AND OFTEN
REACH OUT. If you notice someone being bullied, offer a helping hand and let them know they’re not alone. Even small acts of kindness can have a significant impact on someone’s life.
The more you talk to your children about bullying, the more likely they’ll tell you if they see or experience the behaviour in action. For example, if your children witness bullying on a TV show, use it as an opportunity to discuss what bullying is and why it’s wrong.
LEAD BY EXAMPLE. Treat everyone with respect and understanding. Your actions can inspire positive change and create a ripple effect of kindness and compassion.
BE A GOOD ROLE MODEL
ENCOURAGE INCLUSIVITY. Embrace diversity and create an environment where everyone feels valued and accepted for who they are. Celebrate differences
Children will imitate the behaviour you model. Show your kids how to treat people with kindness and respect by doing so yourself. In addition, be sure to speak up if

RAISE YOUR VOICE. If you witness bullying, don’t hesitate to intervene. Simply standing up for someone can diffuse a harmful situation and create a sense of safety and security.
Taking the time to understand others will lead to a kinder and more compassionate society.
