The Prince George Cougars have made their list, and there's no doubt they're not only checking it twice, but three and four times. The Cats' preparations are in advance of the Western Hockey League's annual bantam draft, set for Thursday in Calgary.

The Gnats are back on the pitch. That is, Prince George's men's rugby side that's lacing up for another season competing in the 15-aside B.C. Rugby Union Central Interior Division.

The calendar may say it's early May, but that's not preventing the Cariboo Cougars from lacing up their skates later this week at the Elksentre. The spring identification camp for Prince George's B.C.

Lauren Matheson was disappointed with her time in Saturday's 100-metre sprint. "It was almost 14 seconds," Matheson told Bill Masich, her coach with the Prince George Track and Field Club.

She may only be 11 years-old, but Jadyn Arnett can now call herself a national champion. Arnett won the bantam girls singles title at the national Youth Bowling Canada (YBC) five-pin championship Sunday in Toronto.

Samantha Thomas may be a provincial champion, but she was more than happy to compete at home at the Prince George Invitational on Sunday.

B.C. rolled to the 2015 Canadian Wheelchair curling title Sunday with an 11-1 victory over host Quebec.

Gymnasts will put their routines to the test at the Prince George Invitational and Zone 8 championships this weekend. The meet, hosted by the Prince George Gymnastics Club at its home gym at Exhibition Park, begins today at 9:30 a.m.
