Moose Jaw

Scotland took gold at the men's World Curling Championship after a dramatic victory over Switzerland in Moose Jaw, Canada.

“One thing I’ve learned through all these years is to do what you do best,” Bostaph, 60, says in a separate phone interview from Moose Jaw, Canada.

Firkus was named the Canadian Hockey League Player of the Year on Saturday, one day after his Moose Jaw Warriors lost to the host and eventual champion Saginaw Spirit in the Memorial Cup semifinal, 7-1.

At the end of his third full season in Moose Jaw and fifth overall, Firkus is the first player in the organization’s history to be named the CHL Player of the Year after leading the CHL with 126 points in 63 games.

After an extremely productive stretch that included a 20-game point streak, he went through a relative dry spell in early 2023 with the Moose Jaw Warriors.
