Playoff hockey can be cruel some times. Case in point, the Victoria Grizzlies. The Alberni Valley Bulldogs have the Grizzlies in a hole in their best-of-seven first-round sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½

VICTORIA 7 PRINCE GEORGE 3 The Prince George Cougars’ Don Cherry blazer-inspired jerseys were loud at CN Centre on Saturday night.

The Camosun Chargers women’s basketball team, which missed the playoffs the past four seasons, finished second in the Pacific West Athletic Association.

You don’t have to tell the Victoria Grizzlies that the playoffs are a whole other game.

sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½â€™s 2-3 record in the Americas’ Rugby Championship was instructive. The 33-17 victory over world No. 26 Chile in Santiago on Saturday, combined with the 45-5 win over No. 27 Brazil two weeks ago at Westhills Stadium, proved that No.

At least it felt a little bit like home. Four athletes from the Triathlon sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ national training centre in Victoria went from training on rain-slicked Island roads to a hot-weather rainstorm in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, on Friday.

Undersized in stature, but not in heart, front-row veteran Ray Barkwill will earn his 50th cap Saturday when the Langford-based Canadian national team concludes the Americas Rugby Championship against Chile in Santiago (8 a.m. PT on TSN3).

PRINCE GEORGE 2 VICTORIA 1 (OT) The Victoria Royals got the most precious thing possible for a hockey team this time of season — the X beside their name in the standings to denote they are a team headed to the playoffs.

With a new ownership group comes a new logo this season for the Victoria Highlanders of the United Soccer League’s Premier Development League.

ALBERNI 5 VICTORIA 4 (OT) (Bulldogs lead series 1-0) Victoria Grizzlies GM and head coach Craig Didmon said this week that the sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ Hockey League playoffs are a long road and there’s always going to be speedbumps along the way.
