History
The early first nations started playing team sports with lacrosse. Immigration, rural communities and one room school houses soon saw organised sports and competitions being held in sports such as baseball, basketball, Association football or soccer, track and field and ice hockey. Broomball was recorded as being played in Saskatchewan as early as 1909. Horse racing and harness racing were two popular events as many early settlers were avid and expert horsemen.
