Rebuilding a sport culture on the Burin
GRAND BANK, NL – Since returning to the Burin Peninsula a year and a half ago, I’ve noticed that things are very different from when I was growing up here. Little by little, many of the things that once defined our communities have disappeared—stores, homes, traditions, heritage, and even sports. Seeing this motivated me to get involved in anything I could that might help stimulate new growth and community engagement. Unfortunately, I have often been met with complacency and resistance. It seems that since the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdowns of 2020, many people have simply stopped believing that positive change is possible. Participation in community and…

Blues Rebuild at Saint Lawrence Academy Basketball
ST. LAWRENCE, NL – After several challenging seasons, the 2025–26 campaign proved to be a defining rebuilding year for the Saint Lawrence Academy Blues basketball program — and one that may mark the beginning of a long-awaited resurgence. For many on the Burin Peninsula, the Blues name still carries history. From the 1960s through the early 2000s, basketball was a prominent sport at Saint Lawrence Academy, with the program earning a respected reputation at the provincial level. In recent years, however, participation declined and the program slipped from the spotlight. This season changed that narrative. The year began modestly as a young roster worked to find…

When Did We Start Losing Our Passion?
St. Lawrence, NL – I’m not oblivious to the fact that, at times, I’ve lived vicariously through my child. You see, in my own sports career, I played—or at least tried to play—just about every sport that was available. There were even a time or two when I attempted to start teams or introduce sports that didn’t exist in my corner of the world, often with little to no success. I was never what you’d call especially talented. But one thing I never, ever lacked was passion. I loved sport. I gave it everything I had. I probably spent more…

Rebuilding the Heart of Small-Town Sport
When the Culture Fades: Rebuilding the Heart of Small-Town Sport ST. LAWRENCE, NL – Sports dynasties are never meant to last forever. They rise, they dominate, and eventually they fade as generations change. That much is expected. What is far more troubling is not the loss of championships but the loss of the culture that made those championships possible in the first place. I come from a small town that once lived and breathed soccer. With a population of roughly 1,200 people, we were known, proudly, as the soccer capital of Canada based on our success per-capital. Provincial banners, national…

SSNLs Inclusion Illusion
When Does SSNL Stop Talking and Start Changing? ST. JOHN’S, NL – Over the past several years, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing some truly special moments in high school sports across Newfoundland and Labrador. From softball diamonds to soccer pitches, from basketball courts to volleyball gyms, I’ve seen firsthand the passion, dedication, and pride that student-athletes bring to their schools and communities. But somewhere along the way, that admiration has been replaced by frustration. Because the more I’ve watched, the more I’ve listened, to athletes, coaches, and parents alike, the clearer it has become, the system isn’t working. The…

Back-to-Back Titles for Saint Joseph’s
TWILLINGATE, NL – 2026 marked the culmination of a remarkable journey for the Saint Joseph’s Jaguars. For most of its history, Saint Joseph’s had never been known as a basketball powerhouse. That all changed in 2025, when, for the first time in school history, the Jaguars hosted and won the Provincial 1A Boys Basketball Championship in nothing short of storybook fashion. Trailing by 15 points, they stormed back to claim a dramatic two-point victory and make history. What made that championship run even more special was that the team lost no players afterward. At a school with only around twenty…

When Will The NLSA Truly Represent All The Province?
By Jason Pike. Year after year, it becomes increasingly obvious that provincial teams representing Newfoundland and Labrador—particularly under the Newfoundland and Labrador Soccer Association (NLSA)—are not putting forward the best possible product. And perhaps they never will, at least not under the current system. Because let’s be honest: the teams selected to represent our province in soccer don’t truly represent the province at all. If anything, the organization might as well be renamed the Avalon Peninsula Soccer Association, because if you’re not from St. John’s or its immediate surroundings, your chances of making a provincial team are slim to none.…
