Strippers won division at N.D. tournament

The cabarets, which are a popular fixture of the tournament, will be held at the beer gardens April 14 and 15. DJ Dale Orsted will provide music during the first night, while the band Third Degree Birnz will play on the second night. They have performed at the cabaret in the past.

“It’s one of the biggest reasons we have this tournament, is to be able to give back to the community and support the community,” said Godfrey. “And the community really supports us in doing those things, so it’s really a two-way street.” conflict. Spring Bust is happening later than normal due to the timing of the Easter long weekend, so they are up against the start of the Regina Adult Safe League playoffs. Also, one team from last year doesn’t exist now and another team couldn’t get enough players. kind of stuff to expect,” said Godfrey. “They’re always current, plus they play some of the older rock-and-roll stuff and a little bit of country stuff, so everybody enjoys them, and we enjoy having them. They’re really helpful in terms of supporting the club.”

A Safe Ride Home program, sponsored by Baker Hughes, will be offered the nights of April 13-15.

Godfrey said he has received a lot of emails from people who are excited to come play hockey, enjoy the social element and attend the cabarets.

Still, they have two divisions of women’s teams, three divisions of over-45 squads and four divisions of over30 entries. Each division has four teams.

Despite the loss of four teams, Spring Bust remains the largest tournament of its kind in Saskatchewan.

The Estevan Strippers recreational hockey team finished first in their division at an over-50 tournament in Grand Forks, N.D., earlier this weekend.

Estevan went 2-1 in the round robin. They opened with a 7-5 loss to the St. Paul Bushwackers, but they recovered to defeat the Bemidji Old Farts 4-3 and the Portage Plainsmen 5-4 in a shootout.

The Strippers faced the Old Farts again for first in their division. Bemidji stormed out to a 3-0 lead. The Strippers battled back to tie the game at threes and scored the game-winning goal with 57 seconds remaining in the third.

The tournament has 60 teams involved in many different divisions. As Estevan was in the over-50 division, the average of the team must be at least 50.

The support shown for the cabarets allows the Strippers to donate to a variety of

“Our guys are looking forward to hosting it again, so it’s looking pretty promising,” said Godfrey.

People are encouraged to drop by the rinks and watch what will be some good hockey, he said, but it’s always a lot of fun.

During the past few editions of the tournament, there was 40 teams, but they lost an over-40 division because of a scheduling

“I haven’t seen one [that’s bigger], and if there was one in Saskatchewan, we would have attended it,” Godfrey said with a laugh.

Godfrey said they’re now working on last-minute details before the first game. It’s always a busy time in the weeks leading up to the tournament, as they need to get everything together, set up the Power Dodge Curling Centre, secure the prizes and make sure the teams are lined up.

Ellen Waugh

August 20, 1927March 23, 2023

Surrounded by the love of her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, extended family and countless friends, Ellen Waugh passed away on Thursday, March 23, 2023, at the age of 95. As we think of what we want to tell the world about Mom, four things come to mindstrength; resilience; hard work; and deep-in-the-belly laughter.

Mom characterized her life as being difficult at times - which is an understatement based on the numerous challenges she faced - and also filled with joy and fun. She was extremely proud of her eight children, 18 grandchildren, and growing number of great-grandchildren, and ever-so-grateful for the good friends and relatives who supported her throughout her life.

Ellen met and married Robert Waugh in 1948. After a brief stint living in Edmonton, Dad got a job as a mechanic on the oil rigs, and they began moving with a drilling rig through Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba - living in a 2-bedroom rig shack with two little boys (then two little boys and two little girls) until they settled in Lampman, Saskatchewan where four more children were born. Together they ran Waugh Enterprises Ltd. - an oilfield maintenance company that also through the years sold Ski-Doo snow machines, dug basements and waterlines, hauled gravel, sold gasoline, and did anything else that might help feed their family. Mom was the original “hybrid worker” - somehow managing to dispatch trucks, do the books, pump fuel, answer phones, and run the business while also cooking school lunches, sewing clothes, gardening, doing laundry, singing in the community choir, and coffeeing with important girlfriends. At 60, she went back to school and completed her caregiving certificate and thoroughly enjoyed her career supporting others. In retirement, she took many wonderful trips, played a lot of cards, made a lot of pierogies, told a lot of jokes, made a lot of quilts, entertained many people, and laughed a lot. She was - truly - amazing!

In 2012, Mom moved to Kelowna, B.C. where her much-loved sister Kay Boyko and daughter MaryJane Drouin and numerous grandchildren lived - a decision she says was one of the best of her life. She spent this last decade telling jokes, playing cards, hosting meals, and feeling satisfied with her life. Her parting words were:

“Forgive past hurts and look to a better future. It is not healthy to hold old grudges; we grow up and change.”

Ellen was predeceased by her husband Bob in 2006, and her son Doug in 2012. She is survived by her children Gord (Joanne), Dianne, MaryJane, Rick (Sonja), Charlene (Gary), Roberta (Scott), and Janine (Kirby); 18 grandchildren (Jason, Lori, Byron, Rylan, Jenna, Danielle, Cailan, Kirsten, MacKenzie, Samantha, Adam, Kendra, Cameron, Logan, Evan, Hailee, Jordana, Vanessa); and numerous great-grandchildren.

A celebration of Ellen’s life took place on Tuesday, March 28, 2023 in the social room of her Kelowna, B.C., condominium. A private family burial will take place at a later date at Elm Lawn Cemetery, Lampman, SK.

John Bonokoski 1925 - 2023

John quietly passed away on March 14, 2023 at St. Joseph’s Special Care Home, Estevan, Sask. at the age of 97. He was the second youngest of 14 siblings. John is survived by his wife of 75 years, Lucille; daughter Lila (Bill) Nicholson; son-in-law Steve Foster; 8 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren.

His last few years were spent at the St. Joseph’s Special Care Home in Estevan.

John began curling as a young man and continued in Estevan where after retiring he added golf to his sports. He filled in much of his time reflecting on his belief in the Catholic faith, and of course there was time spent with his TV keeping up on sports and visiting with friends over coffee.

The Prayer Service was held on Sunday, March 19, 2023 at 7:00 p.m. at Hall Funeral Services, Estevan and the Funeral Mass was celebrated on Monday, March 20, 2023 at 1:00 p.m. at St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church, Estevan, with Rev.
