Golden Ticket Sports Centre has massive impact on local sports scene in short time

When the Golden Ticket Sports Centre officially opened back in July of 2022, few would have expected the impact the new multi-sport facility would have on the Moose Jaw sports community. In a few short months, the brainchild of co-founders Tanner Brightman and Chris King became a regular stop for basketball and volleyball teams, taking advantage of the brand-new gym and all the programs it had to offer.

And that’s not even including the other sports under the former Hillcrest Sports Centre’s roof, with the Golden Ticket quickly become a pure hub of activity almost from the moment it opened. In October of last year, a ceiling leak caused irreparable damage to the gym floor, resulting in the facility’s closure for the better part of seven months as the court was replaced and Golden Ticket took the opportunity to perform other needed building upgrades.

When things return to action during this spring of 2023, athletes will find a brand new court, new lighting throughout the building and a handful of other improvements to make things even better than they were before the damage.

On top of the gym programs, Golden Ticket also hosts Sowden Flanagan Baseball Training, which offers a host of programs designed to improve skills of baseball and softball players alike, with the facility plenty busy year-round.

Then there’s Gottselig Athletic Performance, which opened last fall with a focus on training athletes across all sports and quickly evolved into a popular program for those looking to take their game to the next level.

The Moose Jaw Tennis Club also operates an indoor court throughout the winter months, offering players a chance to stay active and keep their game sharp until they can get back outside.

Golden Ticket also formed a competitive volleyball club this past fall, hosted a new adult dodgeball league, put together a fall youth basketball league and plan to offer a new competitive basketball program to replace Moose Jaw Minor Basketball next season.
