SJHL partners with STARS for new 50/50 Lottery

The Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) is pleased to announce that it has partnered with STARS air ambulance to form the STARS/SJHL 50-50 Lottery.


The Lottery will last through the remainder of the 2019-2020 SJHL season. Each SJHL team will host a STARS game night, in which 50-50 lottery tickets will be sold. Half of the proceeds will go to the winner, and the rest will be divided equally by STARS and the SJHL.

Bill Chow, President of the SJHL, stated, “STARS has made a significant impact across Saskatchewan, saving many lives with their air ambulance service. We hope that the 50-50 Lottery partnership with STARS helps raise the funds needed to replace the STARS air ambulance fleet in Saskatchewan.”

Since its inception in 1985, STARS has flown over 42,000 missions across Western Canada. Last year alone, STARS flew 812 missions in Saskatchewan. The proceeds to STARS from the SJHL partnership will support the non-profit’s fleet renewal efforts in the province through a community-based initiative called The Pegasus Project.

“Just as the SJHL was built for communities by communities, so was STARS. Both organizations want to invest in our communities and so the progressive 50-50 fundraiser is a good way, said Tammy Beauregard, development officer with the STARS Foundation.  “The 50/-0 is a win-win for both organizations and a lucky winner!”

In addition to ticket purchases at the games, people can support the initiative and get a chance at winning by going to SJHL5050.ca to purchase tickets.

 The 50-50 lottery runs until March 6.

Stampeders' win 5th straight after big home ice victory over OCN

The Swan Valley Stampeders earned their 5th straight victory in a big way on Wednesday night after a 7-2 win over the OCN Blizzard at the Centennial Arena.

Ryley Lanthier would open the scoring for the Stampeders in the 1st just 2:33 in as he chipped in with his 4th marker of the season to make it an early 1-0 lead.

The Blizzard would respond though quickly as Aidan Litke would finish off a nice passing play from Ryan Butler and Boston Bird for his 2nd career MJHL goal to pull OCN even at one goal apiece.

But the Stamps came back with 3 unanswered off the sticks of Luke Beerman (12), Tommy Cardinal  (12) and Daunte Fortner (4) to give the home-side a 3 goal lead at 4-1 after 20 minutes of play.

Swan Valley would continue their offensive outburst very early in the second as just 3:37 in, Crosby, Minnesota product Josh Maucieri would walk in from the OCN blue-line and snipe home his 4th of the campaign over the left shoulder of Zack Cloutier, then after that Frazer Dodd added another to make it a 6-1 Stamps advantage, 8:34 into the middle frame.

The two teams would exchange goals towards the 2nd half of the period off the sticks of Jaxon Blight (OCN) and Nathan Carl (SV) to wrap up the scoring summary on this night.

Mikael Foucher made 27 saves on 29 shots in the Swan net to earn his 14th victory of the season while Danick Rodrigue started the game for OCN & allowed 4 goals on 18 shots through 1 period before Zack Cloutier came in and turned aside 18 shots in relief.

The Stampeders' will wrap up their pre-Christmas schedule on Saturday night when they entertain the Portage Terriers at the Centennial Arena.
