Manitoba's team for the Western Canadian Team Championships headed out to Saskatoon over the past weekend. Despite being delayed by some nasty weather, they battled fiercely and tested their mettle against the best in the west. With their intimidating battle cry of, "We are the buffalo!" and their incredible team spirit, they rallied to place in each junior category.
Congratulations to the U15 team for taking bronze, the U17 team for taking bronze, and the U19 team for taking silver!
