District Rosters have officially been announced for the 2018 Saskatchewan Winter Games. Games are being hosted from February 18th-24th in North Battleford, SK and will consist of 2003/2004 male and female hockey players.

District 7 is otherwise known as "Rivers West" and covers the major areas including Kindersley, Rosetown, Biggar, Lloydminster, Meadow Lake, and the hosts from North Battleford. Players from the District were given a chance to try out for the games, and a selected roster was chosen.

Colby Watson was one of seven goaltenders to try out in the District, and was one of the two goalies selected to play in the Winter Games.

Lisa Watson, his mother, talked about the try-out process that her son went through and how much Colby has been watching his diet as he strives to get better.

"He has always been very focused on his diet and exercise. Every day he focuses on workouts, as well as stretching since he is a goaltender. For goalies, there are only two spots available on the team and with seven different goalies trying out, it makes it challenging to find a roster spot."

The young goaltender from Eston currently plays on the Elrose Aces Bantam team in the Hi-Way 14 Hockey League, and has yet to lose a game he has started this season.
