Emma Jensen has assembled a foursome this year that is dominating the Manitoba Junior Curling Tour scene. Playing alongside Jaycee Terrick, Rebecca Friesen and Julia Milan, the foursome has won two titles this season already.

And those titles came in back-to-back weeks. To start their season, the foursome played in the Heather MJCT event and they ran the table. In the round-robin, they won all four games and outscored their opponents, 33-7. Two steals of two in their semi-final advanced them to the finals. In the finals, the foursome scored three in the seventh end and never looked back in a 6-5 win. 

Then the following week, the team played in the Swan River MJCT. They went 4-1 in the round-robin and scored 38 points, 28 of which came in just two games. They would go on to win their semifinal and final as they completed another great tournament with a first-place finish, their second in a two-week span. 

"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves last year knowing our time as junior players wasn't going to last that much longer but we shouldn't have," said Jensen. "We just went into those bonspiels ready to go. We communicated great and made the shots that were needed."

Next up for the team is their biggest bonspiel of the season so far, the Junior Women's 2022 World Qualifier which starts on Friday. The winning foursome in the six-team field will represent Manitoba at the national championships, with the winner of that event representing Canada at the 2022 World Junior Championship. 

Playing extremely well, Emma is looking forward to getting back on the ice with her team this season.

"Winning those two tournaments just helps us in the long run, knowing that we're playing so well," said Jensen. "It's a great feeling and we can't wait to get back on the ice this weekend, it's going to be some great competition."

In just 10 games in October, Tristen put up 21 points and as a result, he's been named the WHL Player of the Month.

Of Robins' 21 points last month, 13 were scored on special teams, including a league-best four short-handed points, one of which was a goal. With action in November now underway, Tristen leads the league with his 21 points, one more than Mikey Milne of the Winnipeg ICE.

Ryder Thompson suited up in 14 games with the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League last year and he recorded one assist.

And with the 2021-22 season well underway, Ryder is back with the Winterhawks. The former Parkland Ranger has become one of the team's most reliable defenders and that's extremely promising as he's still only a senior in high school.

Thompson was drafted by Portland in the fifth-round, 105th overall in the 2019 WHL Bantam Draft. This after he scored three times and added 20 assists in 20 games with Rink Hockey Academy U15 Prep.

"It's pretty surreal that I'm here, not that many people get the opportunity to play in this league," said Thompson. "Getting to play for such a tremendous organization in this great league, I'm very thankful for this opportunity and I plan to make the most of it."

Ryder also had three points across eight games last season with the Waywayseecappo Wolverines, a team he grew up watching. This season, the Wolverines are 10-4 and sit in second place in the MJHL's West Division. As Portland prepares to begin a three-game set in British Columbia on Wednesday, Ryder's 10th game of the season will come on Wednesday night against the Kamloops Blazers. 

And while the season rolls on, Thompson is certainly playing with some added confidence as he was one of three Winterhawks to be named to NHL Central Scouting's 'Preliminary Players to Watch' List ahead of the 2022 NHL Draft, one that Ryder is eligible for. The Russell native is recognized as a 'C' prospect which indicates players projected to be fourth, fifth or sixth-round candidates. 

Thompson says he isn't focusing on the rating much right now but it is a nice tip of the cap.

"I'm pretty proud and humble of being put on that list," said Thompson. "I'm just trying to use it as motivation so I get drafted, I can't let it get to my head."

Ryder has three assists this season and although he is pleased with what he's been able to provide so far, he knows know there is a long way to go.

"There is a lot of Ryder Thompson to show, I'm never really satisfied with where my game is," said Thompson. "Whether it's on the ice or off the ice, there is always a lot of room for improvement."

Portland is in third place in the highly competitive U.S. Division with their nine points, six behind both the Seattle Thunderbirds and Everett Silvertips.

Roblin's Brayden Dube has earned some recognition from the Manitoba Junior Hockey League, once again.

Already a Star of the Week this season, Dube has now been named the league's Rookie of the Month for October. The Seattle Thunderbird prospect continues to dazzle as a 16-year-old.

In October, he scored nine goals in nine games and added four more assists for a 13 point total. Dube was quickly elevated to the team's first line and he hasn't looked back. 

Meanwhile, Colby Jaquet has been named the MJHL's Defenceman of the Month for October. From Winnipeg, the 20-year-old is having a career season and October was a month in which he dominated. He scored four times and had 17 points in just 10 games.

Colby is fourth in league scoring this year with 23 points. That's just five behind Eric Fawkes who leads the league with 28 points.

"It was very special, it was a great night and a ton of people came down to the rink to support," said Jason Gibbs. "We just want to thank everyone that came out to support us, it really does mean a lot."

There was a raffle table, 50/50, a jersey auction and the highly popular Rangers Puck Toss was also back. Gibbs doesn't have the totals at this time; however, he says they believe a good amount of money will be donated to cancer wards in the region.

"It's such a good cause and we had people just donate money because of that," said Gibbs. "We expect to be able to give a fairly healthy donation to the cancer wards around the region." 

The Rangers will now practice twice this week ahead of a weekend set against the Winnipeg Wild. The team's next game at Credit Union Place is next Tuesday when they once against welcome the Wheat Kings to town. The Rangers are currently seventh in the league at 6-6-1.
