Oakden, Vikings claim gold medal

Posted: 10:38 PM CDT Friday, Sep. 19, 2025

Hunter Oakden shot an 8-under 64 to win the Manitoba High Schools Athletic Association boys’ provincial golf title at Oak Island Resort on Friday.

The Vincent Massey sophomore also gave his Vikings the eight-shot cushion they needed to claim the team title over St. Paul’s High School.

Massey’s Daylan Duncalfe shot 75, with Kale Jones carding 78 for a total of 1-over 217 while St. Paul’s finished at 225.

Hunter Oakden, from left, Daylan Duncalfe and Kale Jones of Vincent Massey won the MHSAA provincial boys’ golf title at Oak Island Resort on Friday. Submitted)

It’s the first Vikings golf banner since Hunter’s father, Dean, led the program to three consecutive championships from 1990 to 1992.

Jewel Lafleche led Jeanne-Sauve to the girls’ crown with an 86 to win the individual event by two.

Hunter Oakden also had the top score in Massey’s qualifying as 40 boys tried out for four spots. Oakden shot a 7-under 64 at Wheat City Golf Course to reach the zone championship. A day later, he shot 70 at Wheat City to beat Jones by one. Duncalfe fired 73, with Cole Lobreau shooting 74 to round out the squad.

At provincials, the top three of a team’s four scores count. However, Lobreau didn’t participate, leaving the Vikings without the buffer other teams had.

OFSAA Student-Athlete Sports Subsidy Appliciations Now Open

Written by admin on September 17, 2025. Posted in Provincial and Territorial News. No Comments on OFSAA Student-Athlete Sports Subsidy Appliciations Now Open

Student-Athlete Sports Subsidy

Participation in school sport is important and students learn many life skills, so we want all students to have equal opportunity to experience school sport. Thus OFSAA is offering fall, winter and spring grants for students who have difficulty finding the monies to pay their athletic fee for league competition.

*NEW* Online Submission Form – Please read the below information carefully.

Important Information for schools:

The most current application form must be filled out in full, and then be uploaded to the online submission form to complete your application.
One online submission form must be completed per student grant request.
The committee will review each application carefully to determine grant eligibility. They will consider the social and economic barriers as identified in the application, so it is important that the parents include comprehensive information on their current financial situation.
The maximum amount a student may receive is $135, however it is based on the number of applications we receive.
Funds are limited, so schools should evaluate the students applying and submit forms for those that are most in need.
The endorser should be a person aware of the student’s financial situation and needs, and of the breakdown of the athletic fees (school and sport specific). An Athletic Director or Physical Education Department Head may best fit this role.
Funding is only approved for inter-school participation fees for regular league play. This grant is not intended to cover any costs associated with exhibition matches, tournament play, or additional costs incurred from qualifying for championships.
Only member schools and student-athletes of OFSAA qualify for the subsidy.
Upcoming application deadlines are:
- Fall: October 31, 2025
- Winter: January 31, 2026
- Spring: April 30, 2026

The application form can be found here and must be used to apply for funds in 2025-26.

The fillable application PDF can be found here

Subvention pour les étudiants-athlètes sportifs

La participation au sport scolaire offre des expériences enrichissantes et hautement formatives. La FASSO tient à niveler les chances dans ce domaine en offrant des subventions aux élèves qui ont de la difficulté à couvrir les frais d’inscription à une ligue sportive. Le formulaire de demande se trouve sur le site Web de la FASSO. Le formulaire est obligatoire pour demander une subvention cette année.

*NOUVEAU* Formulaire de soumission en ligne – Veuillez lire attentivement les informations ci-dessous.

Informations importantes pour les écoles:

Le formulaire de demande le plus récent doit être entièrement rempli, puis téléchargé sur le formulaire de soumission en ligne pour compléter votre demande.
Un formulaire de soumission en ligne doit être rempli par demande de subvention étudiante.
Le comité examinera attentivement chaque demande afin de déterminer l’admissibilité à la subvention. Il tiendra compte des obstacles sociaux et économiques identifiés dans la demande. Il est donc important que les parents incluent des informations complètes sur leur situation financière actuelle.
Le montant maximum qu’un étudiant peut recevoir est de 135 $, mais il est basé sur le nombre de candidatures que nous recevons.
Les fonds sont limités, les écoles doivent donc évaluer les étudiants qui postulent et soumettre des formulaires pour ceux qui en ont le plus besoin.
Le parrain doit être une personne au courant de la situation financière et des besoins de l’étudiant, ainsi que de la répartition des frais sportifs (spécifiques à l’école et au sport). Un directeur des sports ou un chef de département d’éducation physique peut être le mieux placé pour ce rôle.
Le financement est uniquement approuvé pour les frais de participation inter-écoles pour les matchs réguliers de la ligue. Cette subvention n’est pas destinée à couvrir les coûts associés aux matchs d’exhibition, aux tournois ou aux coûts supplémentaires engagés pour se qualifier pour les championnats.
Seules les écoles membres et les étudiants-athlètes de FASSO sont admissibles à la subvention.
Les prochaines dates limites de candidature sont les suivantes :
- Automne: 31 octobre 2025
- Hiver : 31 janvier 2026
- Printemps : 30 avril 2026

SSNL Launches Safe Sport In Education Course

Written by admin on September 16, 2025. Posted in Canadian Sport Features. No Comments on SSNL Launches Safe Sport In Education Course

The Provincial Government is partnering with School Sports NL to launch the Safe Sport in Education course for NLSchools student athletes in grades 7-12.

The Safe Sport in Education course is locally developed and designed to equip students with the knowledge and tools to foster safer, more respectful sporting environments within their schools.

Starting this month, all NLSchools student athletes will be required to complete the Safe Sport in Education course and submit their course completion certificate along with a signed NLSchools and School Sports NL Athletic Contract in order to join team activities. The course will be available through the Centre for Distance Learning and Innovation (CDLI).

As this is the Year of Sport, this initiative aims to promote key values such as teamwork, good sportsmanship, ethics, inclusion, and safety in athletic programs in Newfoundland and Labrador.

The Provincial Government supports opportunities to recognize and celebrate the many benefits of participating in school athletics. From fostering lifelong friendships to encouraging physical and mental well-being, sports play a vital role in schools and communities.

Quotes
“As we continue to mark the Year of Sport in Newfoundland and Labrador, we are proud to launch the Safe Sport in Education course in partnership with School Sports NL. This locally developed program empowers our student athletes with the knowledge and tools to foster respectful, inclusive, and safe sporting environments. By embedding these values into school athletics, we’re not only enhancing the student experience but also strengthening the role of sport in our communities.”
Honourable Bernard Davis
Minister of Education and Early Childhood Development

“Sport has the power to shape character and build community. By introducing the Safe Sport in Education course, we’re ensuring that student athletes not only grow in skill, but also in respect, inclusion, and integrity – values that will serve them well both on and off the field.”
Honourable Fred Hutton
Minister of Tourism, Culture, Arts and Recreation

“As a long-standing partner in delivering school sport programs across Newfoundland and Labrador, School Sports NL is excited about the launch of the Safe Sport in Education course. Students benefit in so many ways from their involvement in school sport programs and it is imperative that we ensure they are as safe as possible. The Safe Sport in Education course is a valuable new resource designed to do just that.”
Karen Richard
Executive Director, School Sports NL

The Course is now live on CDLI. Check out our FAQs and NL Schools “How to Access” guide on our website. https://www.schoolsportsnl.ca/
