IN LOCAL HISTORY
• 60 YEARS AGO — The first female to win The Sun’s Western Manitoba Sportsman of the Year is Lynda Kidd, Hamiota born and raised and now a Brandon College student. She is the 1964 recipient of the H. L. Crawford Memorial Award.
• 50 YEARS AGO — Randy Millwater and Dennis Wilkie got three goals each and Darren Bercier picked up the shutout as South End blanked Westridge 11-0 in a 10-year-old Community Centre Hockey League game.
• 40 YEARS AGO — Four goals by Ken Falloon paced the visiting Souris Elks to a 6-2 win over Deloraine Royals in a SouthWest Hockey League game. Wade Watson and Will Dooley also scored for the Elks, while Lee Ransom and Don Morrison replied for the Royals.
• 30 YEARS AGO — Darren Ritchie had three goals while teammates Wade Redden and Marty Murray added singles as the Brandon Wheat Kings defeated the Tacoma Rockets 5-2 in WHL action.
• 20 YEARS AGO — Bryan Kauk, a 17-year-old rookie right-winger from Brandon, found himself part of one of 10 deals made prior to the Western Hockey League trade deadline. The Medicine Hat Tigers traded the 6-foot-1, 170-pound Kauk and 20-year-old centre Paul Gentile along with a 2005 third-round bantam draft pick to the Kamloops Blazers in exchange for 20-year-old centre Jared Lukin, a fifth-year WHLer.
• 10 YEARS AGO — Dayton Heino scored twice for the Yellowhead Chiefs as they doubled up the visiting Central Plains Capitals 4-2 in the Manitoba AAA Midget Hockey League.
