Why Sports Are the Glue That Holds Saskatchewan Together

There’s a sea of green at Mosaic Stadium on a Saturday night. 

Thousands of fans wave Rider flags, bundled up against the cool fall wind. The occasional cow bell can be heard ringing a few seats over.

Suddenly, the scene shifts. 

A college player is at bat in Swift Current. 

Down a run, the 57’s are rallying in the bottom of the ninth at Mitchell Field. The crowd is smaller, but the passion is just as strong.

Then, we change location again. 

This time, it’s kids on an outdoor rink (the ODR), sticks in hand, racing the puck around the ice until the sun dips behind the prairie horizon.

No spectators. No scoreboard. Just the love of the game.

This is all Saskatchewan sport.

Sports in Saskatchewan are part of our identity. 

From recreational shinny to the professional ranks, sports is a commonality that holds our province together. No matter the distance, background or generation, these are the stories that connect us, the memories that last, and the conversations that never run dry.

And that's why we need a dedicated news source for Saskatchewan sports. A place where Sask sports lovers can get the conversations, play-by-plays and more. To keep up to date on our passion. To connect to something bigger than ourselves.

That’s why we developed the SportsCage Insider Report. And it’s why Sask sports fans subscribe to it.

The Stories You Don’t Hear Elsewhere

We all know national sports channels focus on the big leagues and sports content for the masses.

They rarely bring up Saskatchewan sports unless it's about our Saskatchewan Roughriders.

And that’s fine. We get it. 

National outlets have to cover what will interest the majority of Canadians.

But here in Saskatchewan, there’s a demand for local stories. Teams, players, and fans are all a part of Saskatchewan's vibrant sports scene. And that deserves its own spotlight. 

That’s why our community needs a news hub that not only provides coverage of our local sports, but also brings the people of Saskatchewan together.

Stories like the Regina Riot and Saskatoon Valkyries, building dynasties in women’s football. The Moose Jaw Miller Express and Weyburn Beavers, filling the stands on warm summer nights. The AAA hockey teams crisscrossing the province, where future stars sharpen their skills and small towns cheer them on.

These are the stories the SportsCage Insider Report was built to tell.

Meet the SportsCage Insider Report

Every morning, the SportsCage Insider Report pulls together the local sports stories that matter most to our province and puts them right in your inbox.

Think of it as a gathering place: a spot where fans from across the province come together to get the latest sports news about the teams that are closest to home.

You'll hear about the U of S Huskies chasing another title, the WHL teams battling it out on the ice, the Rush taking the floor in the NLL, the curlers sweeping their way to glory in rinks big and small, and of course, you’ll get all the big Riders updates.

Trusted Voices, Straight to Your Inbox

When it comes to local sports, the voices who tell the story matter just as much as the games themselves. 

That’s what makes this newsletter different.

It’s not written by strangers in some big-city newsroom. 

Thanks to years of great reporting, the people behind the SportsCage Insider Report are the voices you’ve been listening to, arguing with, and trusting for years.

Why does that matter? 

Because these aren’t faceless reporters. They’ve played here. They’ve called the games. They’ve lived the wins and losses right alongside you.

Local Sports Coverage That Brings It All Together

The beauty of sports in Saskatchewan is how many different games, leagues, and stories make up the scene. 

And the Insider Report ties it all together in one place.

One morning, you might be reading about Trevor Harris and the latest roster updates on the Riders. Next, it’s the Valkyries celebrating another championship. Then it’s draft day news, like when Saskatoon’s own Roger McQueen heard his name called by the Anaheim Ducks with the 10th overall pick in the first round of the 2025 NHL Draft.

From the CFL to the WHL, women’s football to lacrosse, the Insider Report keeps you in the loop on every story that matters here at home.
