What an NCAA rule change might mean for junior hockey in Sask.

Previously, WHL players were declared ineligible to play NCAA hockey in the U.S.
Saskatoon police say criminal charges won’t be laid against the driver of a cement truck involved in a deadly collision with a cyclist last May.
On May 24, 2023, 33-year-old teacher, athlete and mother Natasha Fox was cycling at the intersection of Wiggins Avenue and College Drive with her two children behind her.
She was struck by the truck and killed. Her two children were not injured.
During a city council meeting on June 28, Fox’s husband made a passionate plea for improved traffic safety measures in the area.
“I’m here today not because I want to be. I’m here today because I feel I need to be. I’m here to make sure you know we can damn well do better,” he cried.
“The city knew there was a chance somebody might be seriously injured in that intersection, and now Natasha’s dead.”
City council voted unanimously for the city to conduct third-party safety audits, including one at the intersection where Fox died. The cost of those audits in 2024 is about $100,000.
Saskatoon police won’t say how the collision occurred, but added the family has requested privacy.
A request to SGI regarding whether the truck driver has been issued a citation or other form of discipline for any traffic violation in relation to the crash is also unavailable.
