If you're a sports fan, there is so much going on locally this weekend that it's almost a good thing there is no NHL so these events can get the attention they deserve!

I'm sure we can all agree that tomorrow is an amazing day for football...right? A high of -12 with a chance of snow...awesome! If the kids can play in the cold, why can't we watch? Exactly.

1 o'clock at Walsh Field in Bonnyville on Saturday, November 10th the bantam Bonnyville Bandits will be hosting the St. Albert 49ers in the Tier III semi-finals. The winner will be off to play the winner of the Olds Bulldogs and Calgary Wildcats game. That'll go down next Saturday!

1 o'clock at Soholt Field in Cold Lake on Saturday, November 10th the Cold Lake Royals high school football team will be hosting the West Central Rebels in the Tier IV semi-finals. The winner will be off to play the winner of the Ardrossan Bisons and Sexsmith Sabres game. We'll get to that game next Saturday too.

As for the WFL Champion St. Paul Lions? They're in the Tier III semi-finals against the Stettler Wildcats this weekend!

In the NEAJBHL, the Cold Lake Ice are in Vermilion to play the Tigers tonight and home to the Vegreville Rangers tomorrow night. 8 o'clock puck drop at Imperial Oil Place.

The St. Paul Canadiens are in Vegreville tonight to battle the Rangers.

Finally, in the AJHL the Bonnyville Pontiacs look to break the tie in the standings with the Grande Prairie Storm. They have two games against them this weekend with a 7 o'clock puck drop for both today and tomorrow at the RJ Lalonde Arena in Bonnyville.
