IF you’re looking for an early opportunity to cheer an NHL team in Manitoba before an official NHL game gets played, Don Cherry wants you.

The producers of the film The Don Cherry Story: Keep Your Head Up Kid – The Sequel are looking for volunteer extras to fill seats when the TV miniseries shoots in Winnipeg at the MTS Centre on Thursday, June 2, from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. and in Portage la Prairie at the PCU Centre on Friday, June 10, from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.

The job does not pay, but the first 200 registered volunteers to arrive at the arena will receive an exclusive commemorative Don Cherry T-shirt, and every registered volunteer who attends the movie shoot will be entered into a grand prize draw.

Because the scenes in the movie are set in the fall and winter, volunteers are asked to dress in seasonally appropriate clothes, and period clothes whenever possible. The game at the MTS Centre is set in 1979 and the game at the PCU Centre is set in 1969. A prize will be awarded for the best outfit on both nights.

Volunteers are asked to register online at www.formstack.com/landing/1189-1081387.

Around the NSL: Everything comes down to the final week of the regular season

Grace Anne Paizen 4 minute read 8:06 PM CDT

It all comes down to this.

The final week of the Northern Super League’s regular season has arrived and the standings are anything but sorted.

There will be no Supporters’ Shield repeat for AFC Toronto, the Montreal Roses will battle the Ottawa Rapid in a winner-takes-the-regular-season contest, and fourth place is up for grabs between the Halifax Tides and Vancouver Rise.

How did we get here? Let’s break down the implications of all three regular-season finales after a tumultuous Week 26.

Brandon senior hockey player files suit against opponent, league, Hockey Manitoba over serious injuries, lost income

Morgan Modjeski 3 minute read Yesterday at 2:01 AM CDT

A Brandon man is taking a fellow hockey player and two sport organizations to court after he was seriously injured on the ice, alleging it caused him hardship and lost income.

In 2024, Devon Leblanc played for the Virden Oil Kings, a senior amateur team in the Tiger Hills Hockey League, which is a member of the Hockey Manitoba association.

Leblanc’s age is not made clear in the court filing, but an online roster suggests he’s 38.

Leblanc alleges Bryce Enns, a member of the Killarney Shamrocks, bodychecked and assaulted him during a game between the two teams on Nov. 28, 2024.

‘Big win’ kept ag tariffs off table: trade rep

Gabrielle Piché 4 minute read 7:16 PM CDT

Retaliatory tariffs on American agriculture was a possibility earlier this year, according to Manitoba’s U.S. trade representative.

Richard Madan says he banded together with various groups — Manitoba Pork, Keystone Agricultural Producers, cattle representatives — to rally against the move.

“We mobilized quickly,” Madan said during a trip to Winnipeg on Thursday.

Madan said he’d heard tariffs on agriculture were “on the table” upon speaking to Janice Charette, Canada’s chief trade negotiator to the U.S., in Washington.

Ryan Reynolds wasn’t wearing his Deadpool suit, but that didn’t stop Mayor Scott Gillingham from wanting to talk about films with the Vancouver-born Hollywood movie star.

Reynolds, who appeared at IG Wealth Management's 100th anniversary celebration Wednesday at the RBC Convention Centre, took to social media afterward, sharing a photo of himself with Gillingham and trumpeting the province’s tax incentives.

“An incredible place to shoot,” the Instagram post read.

On Thursday, Gillingham said the actor, best known for portraying an irreverent, erratic anti-hero on the big screen, is a “really nice gentleman.”
