Teenage girls in Alberta are signing up for football like never before: official
Football Alberta says it's seeing a record number of teenage girls taking an interest in the sport. CTV News Edmonton's Evan Kenny has the details. Edmonton's top women's football team, the Edmonton Arctic Pride, took part in the league championship for the first time over the weekend, falling to the Saskatoon Valkyries. It was the Edmonton team's first season in the Western Women's Canadian Football League. Head coach Marcus Henry is still proud of his team and is excited to see what they can do next year. 'With this first year and how well we did, I think it's going to draw a lot of attention and build the game even more,' he told CTV News Edmonton. 'I'm already thinking about next season. I think we're gonna have a lot more athletes out now, and my goal is to win the championship.' Bibi Suzuki quarterbacked her team to the finals. She's been playing for the past seven years and remembers discovering Edmonton's top women's team. 'To know there was a women's team I could join when I was older just brought comfort to me,' she said. It's a big reason many other girls are staying on the gridiron Football Alberta has been open to women for some time, mainly in older levels. It says it's now seeing more high-school- and junior-high-school-aged girls signing up to play. 'Women are really taking to the game, they've got a lot of great leadership, we're developing a lot of great coaches and it's been really fun to watch,' Tim Enger of Football Alberta said. 'If people want to play football, regardless of their gender, we'll find a place for you.' Five years ago, Football Alberta added an under-18 provincial women's team. Because of the sport's growth, the organization is adding an under-16 team. 'It's growing like a weed at this stage, which is really positive,' Enger said. 'We've got two strong leagues now that are going in both Edmonton and Calgary areas that both expand to some of the rural areas as well. Red Deer has a team in the Calgary league.' It's a new generation Suzuki is excited to be a role-model for, just like ones she had while learning the game. 'I remember thinking, 'Wow, I want to be like her so much,' and to be that kind of person for somebody is – I feel really proud,' Suzuki said. She'll take some of those younger players under her wing on the Arctic Pride next season, this time, looking to finish the job in the championship.

Goldeyes hosting first-ever Autism Acceptance Game in effort to make baseball more inclusive
CTV's Daniel Halmarson has more on the Winnipeg Goldeyes' initiative to help introduce kids with autism to baseball. The Winnipeg Goldeyes are working to make baseball more inclusive with a new concept for Thursday's game. The team is hosting its first-ever Autism Acceptance Game as a way to introduce kids with autism to the sport by meeting them where they're at. That means the ballpark will be quieter and safe spaces have been set up to take breaks from the crowd. Five-year-old Cyrus Banjavich lives with autism and is taking in his first Goldeyes game. It will be extra special for him as he is also throwing out the first pitch. 'His independence is really, really impressive. I'm so proud of this little guy,' said Cyrus' dad, Geoff. He said sports have been a way for Cyrus to connect with the world around him. 'I found that sports seemed to be a bridge for him to understanding and understanding a lot about himself too.' Geoff said Cyrus started with swimming lessons and watching hockey. He was able to watch the Manitoba Moose at their Autism Acceptance Game earlier this year. 'I thought (what) was amazing, is how everything came together with so much support for these little guys. And I thought, 'Why don't we do this for the Goldeyes?'' It didn't take much convincing for the baseball team and St. Amant Foundation to jump on board to celebrate acceptance and inclusivity. 'This game, it's for the kids,' said Tania Douglas, the executive director of St. Amant. 'It's for people with autism and everything is set up for them to be able to have a great night and be included with everybody else.' The Goldeyes are making sure everyone will feel comfortable. 'We have sensory kits at the fan services booths with earplugs and fidget toys. We have our family lounge that, if things get too loud or overwhelming, they can take them in there and relax for a bit,' said Andrew Collier, the general manager of the team. Banjavich said these types of experiences are invaluable for kids like Cyrus and open up a world of possibilities, one step at a time. 'The more inclusivity that we have for our kids this way, the more options they will have in this world. And that's what I want him to have, all the options,' said Geoff. All proceeds raised through 50/50 and buying items like plushies will go to the St. Amant Foundation to support their autism outreach programs.

Argonauts to host rival Tiger-Cats at BMO Field on Friday
Derek Slywka is paid to break up passes and prevent touchdowns. Article content He also knows what to do when the football is in his hands. Article content Article content The rookie safety scored two return touchdowns last week in leading the Toronto Argonauts past the Ottawa Redblacks 29-16 for their first win of the season. Article content The six-foot-three, 215-pound Slywka recorded a 105-yard fumble recovery and a 120-yard blocked field goal return, becoming the first CFL player to register 100-yard defensive and kick-return TDs in the same game. Article content Article content Running with the ball, however, isn't foreign to the 24-year-old Waterloo, N.Y., native. Article content He played both ways in high school — including some time at quarterback — and was converted to receiver by the NFL's Indianapolis Colts last summer after signing with the club as an undrafted free agent out of Ithaca College. Article content 'When you're training as a receiver you're working all of the ball drills,' Slywka said. 'You're catching the ball all the time and you really can't drop it, that's kind of your job. Article content 'Growing up I played both ways, I grew up in a small town and I've been doing that my whole life. That helps, so when those off-schedule plays are happening, you don't really feel out of place.' Article content The CFL season has already seen 13 TD returns — six via interception, four fumble returns, two kickoffs and a missed field goal. That included a pick-six by Calgary's Damon Webb on Thursday night versus the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Article content There were 20 in 2024, but only two at this point last season. Article content Article content The record is 45, set in 1995, and the league is on pace for 46 in 2025. The mark for nine teams is 43, established in 2004. Article content Toronto (1-3) hosts archrival Hamilton (1-2) at BMO Field on Friday. The Tiger-Cats are coming off a 35-17 home win over Montreal last week as starter Bo Levi Mitchell recorded his 100th regular-season win in 144 career starts, achieving the milestone faster than any player in CFL history. Article content Hamilton's defence also figured prominently in the win. Canadian rookie linebacker Devin Veresuk had a pick-six in his first start, while defensive lineman Julian Howsare recovered a fumble in the end zone for a touchdown. Article content Slywka's returns came in just his fourth CFL contest. And although he's also registered 14 tackles, a special-teams tackle and interception, his performance versus Ottawa was a coming-out party of sorts as Slywka's missed field-goal return went viral on social media. Article content 'The goal is always the goal,' Slywka said. 'It's to get the win and then also find ways to have opportunities to make plays yourself.
