The Su-Valley Rams will be keeping their sticks on the ice and playing out their

Karla Brown is a walking machine. After spending two and a half years walking across the United States, she is now embarking on a journey that will take her from Prudhoe Bay down to Argentina.

“And that began my journey,” Brown said. “I walked out that hospital door and kept

On game night, Delta hockey fans were in a festive mood as many watched the game from the warmth of their cars parked around the rink and others braved the six below zero
