There’s a ton of sports going on this week in Prince Albert. Here are some things local sports fans should be aware of.

Thursday

The Carlton Crusaders and St. Mary Marauders senior football teams are both playing at Max Clunie Field, but not at the same time. Instead, it’s a rare high school football doubleheader. The Marauders will go first at 4 p.m., playing Mount Royal. Then the Crusaders will play Walter Murray at 6:30 p.m. Both P.A. teams are searching for their first victory of the season.

The Prince Albert Skating Club is holding their own take on the CBC figure skating show Battle of the Blades at 4:45 p.m. at the Art Hauser Centre. It will feature the club’s figure skaters and some minor hockey players taking part.
