If the boards at Henderson Arena could talk, they may not speak too highly of Kris Versteeg. That’s because during his tenure in the Lethbridge Athletic Association from 1998-2002, the boards at Henderson often bore the brunt of Versteeg’s frustration.
“I still remember smashing my stick over the boards over there and living a few minutes in that penalty box,” said Versteeg with a grin. “It brings back a lot of memories.”
But on Tuesday all seemed forgiven as the arena unveiled a banner commemorating the born-and-raised Lethbridge resident’s recent Stanley Cup win with the Chicago Blackhawks as well as his LAA years where it all started.

The Southern Alberta High School Volleyball League’s fall meeting is tonight. Never let it be said the group takes time in going from the board room to the court. Regular season action starts next Tuesday!
Participation will be finalized tonight (hopefully), but it would appear there will be 11 girls and 10 boys member institutions this time around. Chinook High are newcomers in both genders joining Catholic Central, LCI, Winston Churchill, Coaldale Kate Andrews, Picture Butte, Magrath, Taber St. Mary’s, Taber W.R. Myers and Cardston. Raymond girls are also set to compete.
Regular season matches are most often held on Tuesdays (girls) and Wednesday (boys.)

The University of Lethbridge Pronghorns women’s hockey team was a dismal offensive unit last season.
For what seems like the umpteenth consecutive season, they finished in the bottom two of league scoring and failed to capitalize on several key chances late in the season while still fighting for a Canada West playoff spot.
