News & Updates 2008 (links to the past updates can be found on the bottom of this page)

  • May 5, 2008
    • Sorry.  Bad news.  I have to postpone the Night Game until June 13, 2008 due to an unexpected illness.
    • Please let everybody know, that the game is postponed.  I'm sending out notices to the Event Newsletter, but let everybody now about the date change.
    • I plan on making the June 13 bigger and better than before.  More Special F/X, fog, lights, Indiana Jones Theme props, paintmore mines, plus a few new weird things.  It should be spectacular.
  • April 30, 2008
    • The next Open Day is Friday May 9, 2008 "Indiana Jones Night Game".
      • 8 p.m. Chronographing
      • 8:30 p.m. Required Rules. All players must attend!
      • 9 p.m. First set starts
      • $20 per person entry fee (Members are free), plus HPA charge $6 ($5 for members)
      • Bring Flash lights
      • Special FX, fog, missions (sort of)
    • The Saturday Evening League will be starting after the Night Game, date TBA.
    • We now have our 3,000 p.s.i. Self-fill panel working, remember to bring your HPA tank to registration to be hydrodated & Visuallly Inspected Program (VIP), which means removing the cover to see the label.
  • April 20, 2008
    • The Open Day is on today.
    • Well there is not much snow and temperature is right around 0oC at 10 a.m., so the Open Day is on.
    • The new Airtek self-fill panel works great, and it's down regulated to 3,000 p.s.i..  So remember to bring your air tank for hydro inspection when you register and get your wristband, and you can fill your own tank.  The new Airtek W31HD Compressor works great, and my new yellow bulk tanks and fittings are very nice.
    • Fresh paintballs available today ($65 per case).
    • I have a few cases from last year, that will be sold at clearance prices ~$45 a case or $40 for members.
    • The Night Game on Friday May 9, 2008 will have an Indiana Jones theme to it.  I still need a few more props, like packing crates, if you have any please let me know.  Thanks.  George

    • The next Open Day will most likely be Sunday Mar. 16, 2008.  I'm away this week, so contact will be a little more difficult.
  • Feb. 24, 2008
    • Thanks to the 14 players who came out for the 0oC weather, plus a few visitors.  Lots of nice new markers: Ego, Eros, Shocker, Proto Matrix, and many old stand-bys.
    • I'll be away next weekend, but maybe March 9, might be a good next Open Day, depending on the weather.  It will be short notice as I'll get back the evening of March 8.
  • Feb. 22, 2007
    • Looks like an excellent turn out of at least 12-14 players for the Open Day on Sunday Feb. 24, 2008.  Temperature looks good at -3oC.
  • Feb. 21, 2008
    • Paintball Paradise Prince Albert will be carrying Recon Magazine.  The next issues should be here in 2-3 weeks.  It's a quarterly woodsball paintball magazine, that has become quite good in the last year.  They have amazing pictures.  It used to be a catalog for Special Ops Paintball (www.specialopspaintball.com), but it's been spun off from Special Ops and carries anything with woodsball or scenario paintball.  Special Ops is a heavy advertisier.

  • Jan. 22, 2008
    • Congratulations!!  There were a few additions to our paintball family in Jan. 2008
      • Jim & Sue Russell (Regina) on Jan. 5, 2008 had twins: Aaden James Andrew Russell (boy) and Sydney Angelina Marian Russell (girl).
      • Jason & Heidi Wingham (Vancouver) on Jan. 9, 2008 had a boy named Slater.
  • Jan. 19, 2008
    • I've had a good response to the Saturday Evening League (3 emails and at least triple that in actual numbers), so we will be having a Saturday Evening League.
    • My ideas are the following (if you have other please let me know).
      • Saturday Evening play after 6 p.m. until dark, or play on the Lighted Bin Field until 10:30 p.m.
      • Paintball price specials on cases of paint.
      • If there is an event on Sunday (tournament), it might be cancelled due to setting up for the event, or if there is enough help, it will just delay the start a bit.  If there is a Night Game, Saturday might be cancelled, depending on interest.  No play on the Oldtime Weekend.
      • Reffing would be rotated between players or designated refs/players on both teams, or first one(s) out refs the reminder of the game, or some such thing.
      • One week would be semi, and the next week would be pumpgun only, or something along those lines.
    • If you are interested in the Saturday Evening League, please email me.  This will help me in organizing it.  Also let me know, if you like semi or pump, or both.  Thanks.
    • New team website up, with a WW II theme.  Wyld Stallions from Saskatoon area.  Great bunch of guys that started playing as a team in 2007, and played in all the SPCC events and at the Big Game.
