SIDNEY — What happens when you bring back three Ranger alumni players to battle it out on the ice? Some of the best hockey action to come to the Ranger Arena. Please join us on Friday, Nov. 13 and Saturday, Nov. 14 as we welcome back to the rink Garrett Youngquist, Shayne Smith and Jarret Averett as the Yellowstone Quake takes on the Great Falls Americans. Smith and Youngquist graduated from Sidney in 2024 and joined the Quake that fall. Averett graduated from Sidney in 2025 but has been playing for the Americans since 2024. All three of these young men knew that after they finished playing for the Richland Rangers they wanted to continue playing, so naturally the next step was junior hockey — playing at the NA3HL level. In the 2025‑26 NA3HL season, Averett played 9 games for the Great Falls Americans, recording one goal, zero assists and one point with no penalty minutes.

An old friend refuses to use someone's new name. Do you correct them at the reunion?

At a reunion, an old friend repeatedly uses the name a former classmate had years ago. They say shared history gives the old name affectionate meaning; the classmate has clearly introduced themselves with a different name.

When does preserving your shared past deny who someone is now?
