Inside Harvard Media's Relentless Commitment to Sports

When Saskatoon-born goaltender Darcy Kuemper was selected to represent Canada at the Milano Cortina Winter Games in February 2026, it was a national story.

For Harvard Media, it was also a hometown story.

SportsCage covered Kuemper's selection as a hometown milestone because Saskatchewan fans had followed his journey long before he represented Canada on the international stage.

Harvard Media has built its sports coverage around the belief that local sports deserve the same attention and care as national headlines. 

Whether the story involves an Olympian representing Canada, a junior hockey club rallying its community, or the Saskatchewan Roughriders preparing for kickoff, Harvard Media shows up early, covers the story where it starts, and stays with it as it grows.

That same commitment has shaped Harvard Media's sports coverage, building a portfolio that follows athletes, teams, and communities through every stage of their journey.

Supporting Saskatchewan Sports Beyond the Headlines

Darcy Kuemper's Olympic selection reflected the same approach Harvard Media brings to sports every day by covering the hometown teams, junior leagues, and communities where those journeys start.

Harvard Media's relationship with the Yorkton Terriers of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League put that commitment into practice. 

GX94 and Cruz FM, two Harvard Media stations serving the Yorkton region, organized a community ticket campaign that rallied fans behind the club. 

The initiative earned a WAB Gold Medal for Community Service Radio, recognizing coverage that strengthened support for the team through local media.

The campaign demonstrated that Harvard Media's role extends beyond reporting results by helping strengthen the connection between local teams and the communities that support them.

How Harvard Media Keeps Local Sports Stories in the Conversation

Community support grows when different platforms keep important stories visible and give fans multiple ways to engage with them.

GX94 and Cruz FM carried the campaign across the Yorkton region, using their local radio reach to encourage listeners to rally behind the Terriers. 

SportsCage regularly covers Saskatchewan teams and leagues alongside the province's biggest sports stories, giving local teams visibility within the broader sports conversation.

SaskToday later reported on the campaign and its industry recognition, documenting the initiative and its outcome for readers across the province.

Together, Harvard Media's local radio stations, digital news platforms, and dedicated sports brands give fans more ways to stay connected with the teams, athletes, and communities shaping sports across Saskatchewan.
