That’s more like it. The New Westminster Hyacks put a two-game losing skid behind them with a lot of flash, dash and thrills en route to a 42-29 victory over the Seaquam Seahawks last Friday.

Already gifted a golden ticket – as hosts of the Canadian national championships – the Douglas College Royals women’s soccer team now faces its final rehearsal.

Tamara O’Brien stood at the top of her sport. Just when she should be enjoying the fruits of her international labours, the Shasta Trampoline Club gymnast found herself in the fight for her life.

It was back to basics at practice. The New West Hyacks aim to make it carry over indefinitely, too. With their one bye week behind them, and on the heels of their first two losses of the B.C.

Being in the right place at the right time is always a good practice. For New Westminster’s Nicholas Toews, it’s taken just a bit of an adjustment.

Tennis has long been at the vanguard of social issues: from Billie Jean King’s battle for equal rights in the early 1970s to transgender player Renée Richards fighting for entry into the U.S.

The loneliness of the long distance runner isn’t as lonely as it once was, if you’re wearing a New Westminster Secondary jersey. The school’s cross-country program is enjoying a minor boom of interest as it heads into the second meet of the season.

It may seem a lot cooler in the air, but it’s heating up on the gridiron. The New Westminster Hyacks garnered a repeat win in the Kushnir Boot rivalry game with South Delta, returning home after a 20-6 victory.

A deep, well-rounded roster with lots of returning veterans provides plenty of promise for the Vancouver Northeast Chiefs as they launch the 2018/19 B.C. Major Midget Hockey League season.

It was a tale of two games – well, actually, four halves – but when the smoke cleared it could be said that the Douglas College Royals were lucky to earn a split. If anything, the Capilano University Blues may have just been a tad unlucky.
