Melville's Puhl announced as a 2022 inductee into Houston Astros Hall of Fame

 




It's been a honor he's been waiting for, for awhile but Melville-born Terry Puhl will soon be able to call himself a Houston Astros Hall of Famer.

The franchise announced Thursday that Puhl will be one of the inductees into the Hall, with ceremony happening this August 13th.

"It's an extremely incredible to be recognized, it's something I've admittedly waited quite awhile for and honestly I got quite emotional when I got the call and I don't get emotional," Puhl said in a phone interview from Houston.

His 15-year baseball career began in 1977, playing 14 of those seasons with the Astros with his lifetime numbers being a .280 batting average, with 62 home runs and 435 RBI’s

But the 65 year old's career started a number of years back in Saskatchewan. 

"There was a number of hard-work men that set up a great structure in Melville that allowed a lot of us around my age to get the opportunity to play at a high-level where we had some great success in a National championship with Melville in 1973 that vaulted my career.." 

Nowadays, Puhl is in 16th season as the Head Coach of the University of Houston-Victoria baseball team, but even though he calls the Houston-area his now Adult home he's still proud to call Melville his hometown.

"Melville is where it started for me, it's where I grew up and started in the game, I still have a lot of friends in the area and I always look forward to my trips back to Saskatchewan."

2022 Sasktel Men's Tankard relocated to Whitewood

The 2022 SaskTel Tankard Men's Provincial Curling Championship has changed locations, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

CurlSask announced the event - originally scheduled at the Co-operators Centre in Regina - has been relocated to the Whitewood Community Centre in Whitewood. The tankard will still be held February 9-13.

According to a news release, the decision was reached jointly between CurlSask and the Regina Host Committee "due to the risk of hosting a large scale event in an urban centre location. Organizers felt the relocation was the safest option to allow the competition to be contested."

"We are so thankful for the incredible work of the Regina Host Committee led by Bob Sonder and Shannon England, all the volunteers, sponsors and venues had put in to host the 2022 SaskTel Tankard and we look forward to working with them in the future,” CURLSASK President Jim Wilson said in the release. “Implementing contingency plans are never easy, especially under short notice, but we are extremely excited to work with Chad Kelly and his committee in Whitewood under unique circumstances to host another successful SaskTel Tankard.”

The following pre-qualified teams are confirmed to compete in Whitewood: Team Dunstone (Regina), Team Flasch (Saskatoon), Team Hartung (Langenburg), Team Deis (Fox Valley), Team Jacobson (Saskatoon), Team Knapp (Regina), Team Meachem (Swift Current), and Team Kleiter (Saskatoon).

The remaining four teams will have a chance to qualify through the SaskTel Last Chance Event January 20-23, held at the Nutana Curling Club in Saskatoon.

The dozen teams that qualify will compete in a self-seeded triple-knockout event with a four-team page-playoff, and the winner will represent Saskatchewan at the 2022 Tim Horton's Brier set for March 4-13 in Lethbridge, Alberta.

It's the second time Whitewood has hosted the provincial men's curling championship, as the most recent event was in 2019.

“We are once again thrilled to welcome Saskatchewan’s best men’s teams back to the community of Whitewood,” Chad Kelly, Chair of the Whitewood Host Committee, said in the same release. “We are honoured CURLSASK believes in us to host this prestigious championship and most importantly, we will do everything we can to provide a safe environment for all the competing teams.”

Yorkton Terriers kick off 2022 with road win over Melville

 TERRIERS 4, MILLIONAIRES 1

The Yorkton Terriers now have points in 6 straight games, after a 4-1 victory over the Melville Millionaires to kick off 2022.

The Terriers' got off to a good start in the 1st scoring two late goals late in the period as 20 year olds Erik Boers and Tanner Sklaruk to give Yorkton a 2-0 lead after the first.

In the 2nd, the Terriers added to their lead at around the half-way point as Greg Nelson would chip in his 1st goal as a Terrier to push the lead to three through 40 minutes.

The two teams would exchange goals in the 3rd period as Kishaun Gervais gave Yorkton a 4-0 lead before Jonathan Krahn got the Mills on the board but that's as close as they would get.

Terriers' G Kael DePate turned aside 30 of 31 shots to earn the victory, while Jared Thompson made 32 saves in the losing cause.

The Terriers' will return to action on Tuesday night when they visit the Weyburn Red Wings. GX94 will broadcast the game, with "Legacy Co-Op" Terrier hockey with the pregame starting at 7:20 and the play by play kicking off at 7:30PM.
