Hugh Sutherland School Kodiaks senior girls volleyball player Bella Robinson spikes the
ball during the Kodiaks’ game against the Prairie Christian Academy Sabres at Hugh
Sutherland School on Sept. 23. The game was part of the Carstairs Kodiaks & Didsbury
Dragons Senior Girls Invitational Volleyball Tournament held over the weekend.
Cremona’s own 15-year-old Kyle
Crosbie is hoping to get the opportunity to play for the Kelowna Rockets
in the WHL after being drafted earlier
this year.
He has been playing hockey since he
was four years old and would like to
eventually play in the NHL.
“I carried around a hockey stick at 20
months old and all I remember is that I
wanted to play hockey,” said Crosbie.
“The game is fun and competitive
and requires teamwork to succeed.
It’s a fast-paced game and is the game
I love.”
He found out he was selected by the
Kelowna Rockets on May 5, the day of
the WHL bantam draft.
“I was fortunate to make the Alberta
Cup team and represent the central
team in April, which is a huge tournament that gives WHL scouts and managers the opportunity to see talented
players before the draft,” he said.

The competition at the Carstairs
Kodiaks & Didsbury Dragons
Senior Girls Invitational Volleyball
Tournament was tough indeed with
many of the top ranked 2A teams in
Alberta competing. The final saw Spirit
River knock off Rundle College from
Calgary.
Both local teams competed hard
against tough competition and ended
up facing each other in the 7th-place
game in consolation finals. Hugh
Sutherland of Carstairs came out on top
beating Didsbury in two matches, 25-22
and 25-12. Central Alberta Christian
finished first in the consolation beating
Ardrossan in two matches, 25-21 and
29-27.
Cremona finished sixth in the
consolation falling to Three Hills in
two sets (25-12, 25-20).
In their other consolation games,
Didsbury lost two of three matches to
Cremona and two straight to Central
Alberta Christian. Meanwhile, Hugh
Sutherland fell in two of three to Three
Hills and two straight to Ardrossan.
Both Hugh Sutherland and Didsbury
finished fourth in their respective
pools. Sutherland lost to Central
Alberta Christian, Prairie Christian
Academy and Spirit River in Pool A,
while Didsbury fell to Ardrossan, St.
Joseph’s Collegiate (Brooks) and F.P.
Walshe in Pool D.

Prairie and from as far
south as Lethbridge.
Spirit River won the
tournament after taking
Rundle College in the
gold medal game.
Carstairs and Didsbury

showing amongst some
very competitive teams

And the kudos kept
rolling in long after the
tournament was over.
“Thank you once
again

are amazing and you
continue to showcase
your schools and your
community incredibly,”
Paulgaard recited from
an email he received
from Scott Reiling, the
coach of the Vauxhall
team.
that usually play against
each other only in
provincial playdowns, he
said.
Paulgaard said the
sheer number of capable
volunteers
including
everyone from venue
coordinators and website
updaters to spaghetti
supper helpers, made the
tournament a success in
both towns.
“We’ve got fabulous
facilities in both schools
and great people. It was
a great collaborative
