Airdrie’s BMX racing superstar Abygale Reeve is feeling strong and ready for the World Cup season ahead, after spending the last two months in Colombia training with two-time Olympic gold medalist Mariana Pajón.

Boychuk said the high number of players from the Xtreme who were selected by WHL teams this year was a testament to the team's dominance in 2022-23.

According to head coach Steve Kemp, the win was noteworthy in the fact the Raiders have historically struggled to compete against the Cowboys in recent years.

Throughout the evening, players from the ACAA's four teams received individual awards, ranging from most improved, to coaches' choice, to the heart award, to the official Most Valuable Player (MVP) for the 2022-23 season.

Members of the Airdrie Stars Hockey Academy will be hoping the odds are ever in their favour this weekend, when they compete in the local organization's annual Hunger Games tournament. 

“It felt very much like we’d already done the work and all we had to do was execute it. It was such a relaxed, confident race because we knew we had the speed. We just had to show it one more time and the gold would be ours.”

The host Mustangs took an early 3-0 lead over the visiting Lakers, quickly taking control of the game in the opening few minutes.

The W.H. Croxford Cavaliers senior boys' rugby team took on a team from Calgary's Westmount Charter School on April 27.

Despite still being less than a decade old, the Cavaliers athletics department has managed to establish itself as a valid and consistent competitor in the Rocky View Sports Association, as well as the 4A South Central Zone.

An unprecedented number of Airdrie-based football players will compete in this year's Football Alberta Senior Bowl – an all-star game featuring the best of the best Grade 12 players from across the province.
