Congratulations Coach Holly!

Thank you, Coach Holly Jones!

This National Coaches Week, we’re celebrating Holly’s positive spirit and the encouragement she brings to NWT Biathlon. From teaching new skills to making Eco-Aims relay races fun, they help athletes learn and believe in themselves.

“They have made a difference by telling me I can do this.” Positive, kind and fun. Thank you, Holly, for helping young athletes grow in confidence and enjoy their sport!

Have your say!

As the NWT government considers whether to put in a bid to host the Canada Winter Games in 2035, it is asking residents to share their thoughts.

Yellowknife and Hay River competed in the last Polar Cup of the season today! After a long cold winter, it was great to wrap up the season with a sunny and warm race!

Our biathletes know how to finish the season in style - and the race in some cases!

Avery's strength and perseverance is astounding. Thank you, Cabin Radio for sharing her story and the ongoing road to recovery. The Groenewegen's are such an important part of our Biathlon family ❤️

In the NWT, relay races are synonymous with team outfits, today that meant tutus and leis! We obviously had to show off at this year's Whitehorse 2026 Arctic Winter Games

Today's relay race was a wonderful way to wrap up the games. Athletes got to compete in a team, Coach Charlie raced (in jeans no less!!) and Maisey Murray (ex-AWG athlete and Yellowknife Biathlon Coach) was out cheering loud and proud! Oh, and it wasn't ridiculously cold!

Athletes are now off to celebrate and prepare for tomorrow's closing ceremony!

Mass start day!

Yesterday, athletes enjoyed a well-deserved rest day. They explored the town, learned a lot at the MacBride Museum of Yukon History, went thrifting, and even squeezed in some much-needed shoe shopping. A day well spent!

Today they competed in the mass start events — one of the most exciting formats in biathlon. All athletes start at the same time and complete penalty loops for every missed shot, which often makes the finish line the true decider of final positions.

Jaxin Coombs once again came out on top, completing his 5 km race in an incredible 21 minutes. Logan Doll also found his way back onto the podium, claiming his third ulu of the Games.

The rest of the team delivered strong performances as well, battling it out on the course and showing great resilience on the range. Special congrats to Carys Lyall and Jenny Murray who both shot 4/5 on target on the windy range! Every athlete put together a race to be proud of.
