THE THUNDER BAY BORDER CATS ARE GETTING READY TO KICK OFF THEIR SEASON AS THEIR PRACTISES ARE IN FULL SWING BACK AT PORT ARTHUR STADIUM, THE BOYS

of summer have returned to the stadium with some new and familiar faces. The border cats had their first day of trading ahead of their season opener next week so we could get a first glimpse of the new and returning recruits. >> Joe sadowski was there and has the details. A new season means a fresh start for the thunder bay boared cats and all the pressure to make a run to get back to the postseason. >> I don't really feel the pressure. I don't pressure is not really a thing that exists to me after barely missing the playoffs in the first half of last season and struggling in the second half due to half their roster leaving the boeser cats are entering the twenty twenty four campaign with a newly constructed team that manager jim kelly says are committed to play all 68 games. >> I think these guys realise kind of how important it was to how much it means to make it through an entire summer up here. You know, it's it's almost an award. It's a reward to be able to make it through a northwoods like summer. >> Another aspect of this team that gm kelly said would be their strongest area is their new arms on the mound in thunder bay native and starting pitcher jack peno who had an astounding eight and one record with the university of creighton this past season. Pino is getting the start for their home opener next friday and says he can't wait to take the hill on opening day. >> Definitely. I mean last summer was awesome to kind of start home opener and I was pretty nervous for the last one so hopefully I won't be as nervous this year but it's definitely a it's a it's an honour and I love pitching when I have familiar faces the crowd so the first thing he said was , you know, coach, I'm going to be there earlier than I thought I was and I said ok, good when you be here I'll be there day one he said he said home opener questionmark. And I said absolutely and he said good can't wait to break the new radar gun. The border cats kick off their season this monday for a four game road trip before their home opener on may 31st at port arthur stadium for a two game stint against the minnesota mud puppies joe sadowski tbps sports undercity speedway was buzzing thursday night as the season opener for the racing season kicked off following wednesday's thunderstorm. The skies cleared just in time for the track to be in perfect racing condition. Knough van pelt was at the racetrack and has the details. Dirt was flying and engines were roaring as the long awaited racing season officially began around 2000 fans made their way to thunder city speedway to cheer on local racers and track manager todd robinson was pleased with how the night when I think it went well a few hiccups along the way. Lots of new drivers and we've got some new officials but we're we're we're going to get better for scheer and we did ok considering we had the deluge of rain that we thought we'd be washed out here for sure. >> But the track was really good tonight the feature races started with the was soda midwest modified division and following some confusion after the yellow flag was flown when a car spun out in the final lap it was thunder bay's david simpson in the number seventy car who crossed the finish line first for his first win of the season at the thunder city speedway. Next up was the wasso to st. Wsox race where roslyn's pwhl lived up to his name as he held on to a big lead and was able to capture the checkered flag while almost lapping the car in last place. The third feature of the night was the was sold a superstar wsox and thunder bay's colton norske in the thirty three car made his hometown proud starting the race and fifth he worked his way to the front crossing the finish line with a lengthy lead and ending up back in a familiar spot on winners row during the hornets raisis hunter marshall in the number five car flipped right over, forcing a complete stoppage. The night saw many caution flags raised with cars spinning out and raisis restarting. Robinson says this isn't abnormal for opening night and he expects it will improve as the season goes on you'll see less cautions where the guys actually get a little better and they figure out how to get around the corners and how to race around either. So they don't wreck and things like that. So yeah, it's it's it's a moving target there and we'll get there. >> The marquee race of the night was there a soda modifieds and after going neck and neck with riley matthews for multiple laps the wily veteran joel cryderman in the fifty one car pulled ahead just before the final lap to take the checkered flag and then the final race of the night michael shaley won the hornets feature the new drivers will you'll see an incremental increase in their abilities as the season goes so it'll be far different by midsummer you'll see some of these new guys really shining racers will be back in action every wednesday for the rest of summer with a june invitational happening the fourth weekend in june knough van pelt tbps sports the biggest regional swim meet of the year is now underway at the kennedy games complex at the twenty twenty four everlast thunderbolts grand prix features two hundred and thirty five swimmers from the local clubs along with outoftown

He came to winnipeg in twenty twenty two as an assistant coach and served as interim head coach twice this year after bonus stepped away for personal reasons, leading the team to an eleven five into record. We'll stay on the ice but shift over to the whl where game three of the walter cup finals was underway in minnesota after boston grabbed game one at home. Minnesota answered back shutting them out before returning home looking to move one win away from the first ever walter cup minutes into the contest it's thunder bay's mckayla have doing the dirty work picking this out from behind the net and puts it right to taylor hizzy who scores izi five goals now in the playoffs and it's one to nothing into the frame now and it's minnesota keeping up the pressure. The rebound right up front is cindy brought she buries it rots first of the post season and just like minnesota out to nothing after one boston would get one back in the second but will jump to the third where it's cava looking for that muchneeded insurance jansens on the person canada has whitrow josh todayand controlling the back goal of the playoffs.
