In game one in the bestof-five series on Feb, 25 in Gladstone, the Lakers were able to hold the Farmers off the scoreboard for a full 60 minutes, winning by the score of 4-0. Jesse Toth opened up the scoring with a pair of goals in the first period. In the second, Cory Yeroschak and Jory Geddes contributed with goals, to help the Lakers cruise to victory.

Gladstone took over in the third, however with four unanswered goals, making the final 8-3. Geddes added two more goals to earn the hat-trick, while Riley Bruce and Ethan Winters added the others on the night. Once again, it was Derwin collecting the win in net for Gladstone, with 34 saves.

Minnedosa Bombers ground Wawanesa’s Jets

By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press

It’s been a relatively smooth path through the Tiger Hills Hockey League (THHL) playoffs, so far for the Minnedosa Bombers. After knocking out the Pilot Mound Pilots in two straight games in the opening round, Minnedosa has followed that up with an equally impressive effort versus the Wawanesa Jets.

In the first game of the best-five five scheduled series, Minnedosa earned a 4-1 at home. Shane Jury, who leads the Bombers in playoff points, scored a pair of goals and added one assist in the game. Ricky Kowalick and Matt Saler had the other goals on the night for Minnedosa, while Kyle Johnston had the only goal for Wawanesa.

Game two on Saturday, Feb. 25 in Wawanesa proved to be the first real challenge the Bombers have had to face in the post season, as they trailed 3-1 going into the third period. Up until that point, Ryan Heino had the only goal for Minnedosa. In the last 20 minutes of regulation, Minnedosa’s scoring prow- ess returned, as Sales had a pair and Clay Bergeson scored, what would be the game winner, with just 3:27 left in the period. A late push by Wawanesa with the extra attacker was unable to find the equalizer, as Minnedosa would leave town with the 4-3 win.

The third, and what would end up being the final game of the series was played back in Minnedosa on Tuesday, Feb. 28. This game and series, would be put to rest by Minnedosa’s Shane Jury, who scored a natural hat trick for the Bombers to secure a 4-2 win. Clay Bergeson collected the other goal for the Bombers on a power-play late in the third period. With the series win, Minnedosa moves on to the East Division final to face the winner of the Gladstone/Neepawa series.

October 7, 1988 - February 10, 2023

Age 34 years

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Joshua Buchanan on February 10, 2023, at Stormville, New York.

Joshua will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by his Dad Greg; Step Mom Diane; his sister Roxanne; niece Delilah; brother Joel; grandpa Macklin; grandma Irene(pre-deceased); uncles Myles(Cathy), Randy(Val), Neal (Brenda); aunt Kerry(Ken); as well as his cousins Shawn, Stacey, Shantel, Brianna, Brett, Jannelle, Erika and numerous family and friends.

Joshua-Shane was born in Ottawa, Ontario where he spent most of his life. Josh loved his family and friends, he would go out of his way to help them and anyone in need.

I can recall several trips to the principal’s office because Josh stood up to some bullies picking on another kid. The short end of the stick usually went to Joshua, but that never stopped him from taking a stand against the bullies out there. He believed you could change anything for the better!

Joshua loved to joke around and have fun with family and friends. He loved music, reading, learning different languages and other cultures. He loved cars, travel and Josh enjoyed hiking, going for walks, canoeing, skiing and he loved to bowl just like his grandpa Mac! Joshua’s selfless nature will be deeply missed by all who knew him and I’m sure he is still helping others in need.

Psalm 100: 3-5

3. Know that the Lord, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.

5 For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations.

Cremation will take place in Ottawa, Ontario. Final interment will occur late in spring at Sidney Cemetery in Sidney, Manitoba.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made at https:// gofund.me/268597e5 which is titled Help Raise Funds For Josh’s Funeral Expenses or to Greg Buchanan, Box 22, Sidney, MB R0H 1L0 Cards and prayers are cherished!
