Hockey Players From Saskatchewan

The word "Saskatchewan" comes from the Cree word "kisiskatchewanisipi," which means "swift-flowing river."

In the province of Saskatchewan there are over 100 000 lakes, rivers, and bogs, and three major river systems that empty into Hudson Bay.

Over one-half of the province, or approximately 3450 000 km2, is covered with forests. Of the total forested area, 2,165,000 km2 are classified as commercially productive forest land and contain both hardwood and softwood species.
