Three local athletes will be honored the annual Prince Albert Kinsmen/Raiders Sportsman Dinner on Oct. 19.

Comedian Kelly Taylor will host the evening at the Art Hauser Centre, with five-time Stanley cup winner and Hockey Hall of Fame inductee Grant Fuhr set to make an appearance as a celebrity guest speaker.

This year’s honourees come from the worlds of volleyball and curling.

P.A.’s male athlete of the year Daulton Sinoski is a four-year veteran of the University of Saskatchewan’s Huskies Men’s volleyball team. Daulton represented team Saskatchewan at the Canada Games in Beach Volleyball. The young athlete also excels academically and received an Indigenous Student Achievement Award from the U of S earlier this year.

Kara Thevenot, lead for the Silvernagle curling team, is the female athlete of the year. Her team is ranked sixth in Canada and eighth in the world. In January they won bronze at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Nova Scotia. The Silvernagle team has been invited to join the National Team Program and Thevenot and her teammates have their sights set on securing a spot at the 2021 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials.

The event, which drew large crowds from across Canada, was broadcast on TSN, and thanks to its success, the Prince Albert Golf and Curling Centre received much needed infrastructure upgrades.

The evening will feature live and silent auctions, a prime rib dinner and opportunities to win prizes. All proceeds will go to the Prince Albert Raiders Education Fund and the Kinsmen Club of Prince Albert charities.
