Local Sports for Wednesday February 3

Former Fort Frances Sabre A.J. Wensley scored the game's only goal, coming in the shootout, as the Sioux Lookout Flyers beat the Fort Frances Lakers 1-0 at the Ice for Kids Arena last night.

The Lakers were outshot 47-27 with goaltender Jameson Shortreed stopping three shoot-out attempts by the Flyers before Wensley's game winner.


Two new records have been established in the Arrowhead UltraMarathon.
