Saskatoon is getting a direct flight from here to...to...where is it going again, Joe? #yxe

Thank you, Stout

@ScottRoblin and I go back to our Medicine Hat days. It's hard to find someone more dedicated, hardworking, and passionate as him. It was truly an honour to work alongside Scott and call him my friend. Saskatchewan sports media is lucky to have him!

[Scott Roblin @ScottRoblin]

After three and a half amazing years, my time at @GlobalSaskatoon has come to a close.

Excited for a new opportunity ahead, but will miss a station which believes in local sports reporting and allowed me to grow every day.

Truly the best years of my career so far.

What Stranger Things meant to me:

Stranger Things wasn’t just a TV show to me. It was something that stayed with me every single day for years. I thought about it when I woke up, when I went to sleep, and even when there was no new content at all. It became part of my life in a way no other show ever has. Watching the final episode felt like saying goodbye to a piece of my childhood, my routine, and a world that helped shape who I am today.

This show changed my life in ways I never expected. Because of Stranger Things, I found something I truly loved talking about. It gave me a voice, a purpose, and a connection to people all over the world. I built everything I have online because of this show. Every theory, every video, every late night thinking about what might happen next — it all mattered. It wasn’t just entertainment. It was passion.

The ending hurt, but in a beautiful way. It felt complete. It felt earned. It reminded me that the whole story was always about believing — believing in your friends, believing in love, and believing even when things seem impossible. That message stayed true until the very last moment, and that’s why it worked for me. I didn’t need everything explained. I just needed to feel something, and I felt everything.

What hurts the most is knowing nothing will ever replace it. There will be other shows. There will be other stories. But there will never be another Stranger Things. It holds a special place in my heart that can’t be filled. Still, I’m grateful. Grateful that I got to experience it. Grateful that I got to grow alongside it. And grateful that I got to share that journey with so many people.

Even though the story is over, it will never really be gone. I can always go back and rewatch it. I can always remember how it made me feel. Stranger Things will always be a part of me — and I’ll always believe.

No matter how #BALvsBUF ends, this game is already an all-timer.

It's week 1. I love football.

@ScottRoblin Hope this guy gets a shot!

[Gates Guarin @GatesGuarin]

...and I'm glad we're making a difference.

Keep supporting local news. The stories we tell matter, and I look forward to telling me ones in a new city soon.

[Gates Guarin @GatesGuarin]

Moving to a new city can be tough. You make a ton of connections, especially in my line of work. But I got into broadcasting because I wanted to tell stories of all kinds - not for praise or glory, but to let others know there are great people in the world...

[Gates Guarin @GatesGuarin]

This industry can be hard, but knowing people are supportive of the work we do makes it all worthwhile in the end. It's community members like the ones I just met that also make it very hard to leave. People depend on us to give them the information they need...
