Cathy has a long successful history of competitive curling at the local, provincial and national level. She was a member of the 1996 Canadian Mixed championship team skipped by Randy Bryden, along with his brother Russ and Cathy’s sister Karen. She again competed in the Canadian Mixed championship in 2003, the Canadian Seniors championships in 2013 and 2015, and this year placed third in the Canadian Masters championship.

Karen had great success as a high school curler, as a member of the team that won the Regina Christmas Bonspiel in 1985, and as the skip the following year of the team that represented Canada in competition in Germany. She competed at the university level, and in 1996 played with her sister Cathy and the Bryden brothers to win the Saskatchewan and Canadian Mixed Championship. After 20 years of competitive curling, she coached and expanded Learn to Curl programs in schools in Yorkton, Whitewood, Moosomin and Balcarres.

Andy has coached all age groups and genders in Yorkton over a span of more than 30 years, and nearly every coach in the organization has either been coached by him or benefitted from his mentorship. He served on the board when the Yorkton United Football Club was founded in 2001, and later became its technical director. In 2008 he was recognized by SaskSoccer as Grassroots Coach of the Year. He coached teams representing Saskatchewan at national championships in 2007, 2008 and 2025, having won provincial championships to qualify.

Jeff grew up in Yorkton and played junior curling here, later mentoring young teams. He was on the Pat Simmons rink that won four consecutive men’s provincial championships from 2005 to 2008, earning them a berth in the Canadian Brier and winning bronze in 2008. He is a four-time provincial Tankard champion and runner-up three times; qualified for 10 consecutive World Curling Tour Grand Slam events; ranked in the top 10 in world rankings in multiple years and was the 2005 champion in Japan at an international tournament at the Nagano Olympic site.

The Yorkton Regional High School Raiders senior boys basketball team played 31 games during the season in tournaments and exhibition games in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, compiling a record of 29 wins and two losses – losing those two games by a total of three points. They went on to provincial championship play, defeating Prince Albert Carlton, then Swift Current by a one-sided 73-44, a margin of victory not repeated since.
