The University of Alberta Golden Bears blanked the U of S Huskies 5-0 in the opening game of the best of three Canada West final on Friday night in Edmonton.

Former Prince Albert Raider Jordan Hickmott had two goals for the Bears, while Brett Ferguson, Johnny Lazo and former Saskatoon Blade Travis Toomey added singles. 

The Bears outshot the Huskies 45-12 in the hockey game. Ryan Hofield made 27 stops in the Huskies net before making way for David Reekie who made 13 saves in the third period.

The Saskatoon Blades' win streak has reached 18 games after a 4-1 win over the Brandon Wheat Kings at Credit Union Centre.

With the victory on Friday night, the Blades' Lorne Molleken became just the second coach in WHL history to get 600 wins. 

It’s going to be an exciting weekend for Weyburn’s Graham DeLaet at the PGA Tour’s Honda Classic.

He shot a second round 68 on Friday which puts him at seven under for the tournament. That’s just two shots of the lead held by Luke Guthrie.

The story of the day though belongs to world number one Rory McIlroy.

He walked off the course after eight holes citing a sore wisdom tooth. He also said he wasn’t mentally with it. He was seven over par for the day when he walked off.

Brody McKnight's tour of the CFL continues. 

The kicker, who was originally drafted in the first round by the Alouettes in 2011, traded to Edmonton for a first round draft pick in 2012, is now a Saskatchewan Roughrider. 

Heading to Edmonton will be a pair of fifth round draft picks. The Riders are also picking up a sixth round draft pick. All of the picks in the deal are for the up-coming CFL Canadian Draft. 

The Vancouver native played in only three games last season. 

As the old saying goes, better late than never.

The CFL handed out the 2012 Coach of the Year award Thursday in Regina in front of a room filled with executives and employees from across the league.

Not surprisingly when all was said and done, the Argonauts Scott Milanovich was named the winner, after guiding Toronto to the Grey Cup in November. He beat out the Lions Mike Benevides and the Stampeders John Hufnagel for the award.

It’s a good start for Weyburn’s Graham DeLaet at the PGA Tour’s Honda Classic.
 
He carded a five under 65 to sit in a tie for second place after his first round.
 
DeLaet got off to a good start putting up four birdies on the front nine.  He followed that up with two more birdies and a bogey on the back.
 
So far this year, DeLaet has won $223,824 which puts him 61st on the money list.
 
A win this week would get him into this year’s first major: the Masters.

The Saskatoon Blades defeated the Calgary Hitmen 3-2 in a shootout on Wednesday night at Scotiabank Saddledome.

Nathan Burns scored the lone goal of the shootout, while Brett Stovin scored twice in regulation time. Stovin broke a scoreless tie in the second period, then gave the Blades a 2-1 lead early in the final frame. Stovin now has nine goals this season.

Andrey Makarov made 41 stops in the Saskatoon net.

Spencer Humphries and Brady Brassart scored for Calgary.

It's been a busy week for CFL Commissioner Mark Cohon.

He's been in Regina for the CFL Congress meeting with all of the business types in the league...but Cohon still isn't too busy to meet with the fans.

Cohon actually spent Wednesday evening meeting fans at the Press Box Sports Bar in Regina.

The CFL regular season is still a few months away, but Regina is a hot spot for the league.

All this week the league's brass are in the Queen City for the CFL Congress, where they've been discussing some of the issues facing the league right now.

A topic that appears to be taking up a fair bit of time is social media -- both the good and the bad.

One of the issues certainly isn't new, is the idea of closing some practice time every week to not only the fans, but the media too.

The Saskatoon Blades were 4-0 winners in Red Deer on Tuesday night.. Andrey Makarov made 24 stops for his seventh shutout of the season. Brendan Walker had first and third period goals, and has now tallied 27 over the 2012-2013 campaign.  Lukas Sutter and Nick Zajac had second period goals for Saskatoon.

The Blades outshot the Rebels 51-24.  In the second period, Saskatoon outshot Red Deer 24-3.
