The early portion of the MJHL season continues to be a case of so close, yet so far, for the Neepawa Natives, when it comes to accumulating victories. The team dropped to 0-4 on the regular season, after a 4-3 loss to the Selkirk Steelers on Friday Sept. 30. This contest, much like the others, has been a case of the players putting in a good enough effort to take the win, but just not getting the little bits of luck needed, at the right time, to sway things in their favour.
Yep, those were the days!

This is part two in a three part series about the places we loved growing up in Neepawa. It’s not just from my generation, but also from those younger and older. This week features mostly memories from Cam Smith.
Cam Smith: Our heroes
I remember the Salt Well picnics, where they held games and races for the kids of Salt Well employees. The Crabbe boys dominated most of the competitions. It was amazing how you could spend the whole day there. Thinking back, it seems like all the days were hot and sunny with very few rainy days. I guess it's human nature to remember the good days. We played baseball and soccer on the lawn in front of the creamery with Sparks (Rick Sparling), Jake (Ray Crabbe), Skinny (Ken Crabbe), Trev (Trevor Sinclair), Red,(Ed Fearns) and Garth King, to name a few. Every couple of times there, Mr. Boyle would come out and put the runs to us, but we'd be back the very next day.
