Abbotsford golfer Nick Taylor finished tied for 15th at the Samanah Classic in Morocco this week.

Last summer in Abbotsford, Leland Irving and Brad Thiessen handled the goaltending chores for a group of local pros who skated together on a regular basis. With the way both netminders have been rolling this season in the AHL, it's safe to say those summer scrimmages were relatively low-scoring affairs.

A tremendous goaltending performance from Nicholas Taylor drew the Port Moody Black Panthers even with the Abbotsford Pilots in their second-round playoff series.

The Abbotsford bantam Tier 1 Hawks pulled off a major upset at the Lower Mainland Final Four tournament on the weekend, knocking off undefeated Burnaby Winter Club to claim the title.

It was a banner weekend for Abbotsford's volleyball community, as six local high school grads celebrated national university championships.

Riley Lamb and the Abbotsford Pilots got off to a flying start to their second-round playoff against the Port Moody Black Panthers.

The University of the Fraser Valley women's basketball team was hoping their first trip to the Canada West Final Four would play out like the movie Hoosiers. In the end, their weekend adventure more closely resembled Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

One night after seeing a late lead slip away against the Oklahoma City Barons, the Abbotsford Heat came up with some late-game heroics of their own against the Houston Aeros.
