It’s official: the Île-des-Chênes Minor Hockey Association (IDCMHA) will have ten home teams this year. After four weeks of practices, all teams were on the ice for the first Saturday of the regular season—eight at home and two away.

Niverville’s second annual Winterfest & Market is well on its way. On Saturday, November 19, families can experience a fun-filled day to get into the winter and Christmas spirit.

If you’ve met a modern 11-year-old girl, then you probably know the kinds of things Caydence is interested in.

Another hockey season is upon us here in Niverville/Ste. Agathe! We are extremely fortunate to have yet another record year when it comes to registration numbers. To put it in perspective, Clipper Ice Sports (CIS) is almost at the same number of children registered to play as the City of Steinbach this year. We also have something we haven’t had for quite some time: a Midget team. Another bonus this year is four Novice teams (in the past, we’ve had just three). 

If you’ve ever attended a Red River Rage R4U ringette game, you’ve most likely heard the team chant: “Our team is red hot!” This year, with ten girls aged four to eight, that chant will be shouted with lots of energy. The R4U program aims to give girls under eight the equal opportunity to develop skating and ringette skills

I spend a lot of time outdoors during the beautiful summer months and put aside my high-intensity exercise routine. With the weather cooling off and the sun setting before I’m done work, I find it hard to get motivated to go for even a simple walk, never mind exercise. But now that summer is officially over and winter is here, I think to myself, No more excuses. It’s time to get back into the fitness routine.
