I have a lot of fun doing play-by-play, and 2025 was very enjoyable

I was privileged to call another Stonehouse Cup final at the end of the PJHL season, as well as some JPHL action (including eventual 3rd overall WHL pick Liam Pue). Also some bonus UBC Baseball in the summer!

[KB @Yogi_Bear17]

I can’t stop thinking about this

[Gregory Balloch @GregBalloch]

@JoshuaHowsam They only deal with starter's lines

Big time NHL 08 “create a team” vibes

The New York Islanders' new AHL affiliate in Hamilton will be named the Hamilton Hammers 🔨

[Gregory Balloch @GregBalloch]

This happened in a Jays game last week and everyone was similarly as confused. A ball that bounces then hits the netting is apparently live and in-play.

[Talkin' Baseball @TalkinBaseball_]

HOW was this not ruled a ground rule double for Ohtani?

[Gregory Balloch @GregBalloch]

The reason people like this kind of stuff (fun t-shirts honouring them) is because it takes time and effort to pull off. That's what makes it meaningful and endearing.

Slapping something together by typing a prompt + uploading an existing pic is the antithesis of this.

Thanks for the 20 years, here's an AI-designed shirt (Check out how bad the rings look)

[Chris Johnston @reporterchris]

The 🇨🇦 players came to the rink today wearing shirts honoring massage therapist Andy Hüppi -- a beloved figure inside the Canadian program.

Hüppi is working his 20th world championship for Canada and plans to retire afterwards.

@LachInTheCrease Over 7M people in the GTA, man. That's almost 20% of the population of the entire country centralized in one area. Ottawa is a nonfactor, their market doesn't overlap.

@mayaxeverysport Goalies changing on the fly needs to happen more in general IMO https://t.co/tPUnLn7WdH

[IW Magazine @IWmag]

Per IW sources, Hamilton is finalizing a deal with the PWHL to become one of its next expansion franchises. San Jose and Las Vegas are among the other potential cities in the race. https://t.co/kK2GkQmgLa

@samanthacp_ They shut down the Oak st bridge at 9:30 am on a weekday last week for one of these 🤦‍♂️

[Gregory Balloch @GregBalloch]

@JoshuaHowsam @DinoRoiati .242/.294/.332 in his last ~400 PAs. 86 hits but only 20 extra base hits. Just completely zapped of power, sad to see.

“Today is the first time I’ve uttered the word ‘Cheech’ and not smiled”

- John Shorthouse on @Sportsnet650 relaying the words he received from Chris Cuthbert after hearing about John Garrett’s passing

A statement on the passing of John Garrett:

Classic Ottawa: Vezina-level goaltending, but lifeless offence.

Wait a minute

[Everyday Sens @EverydaySens]

Linus Ullmark's playoff performance:

Game 1 | .933 SV%, 2.94 GSAx
Game 2 | .939 SV%, 2.11 GSAx
Game 3 | .926 SV%, 2.14 GSAx
Game 4 | .929 SV%, 0.97 GSAx

Sens scored 5 total goals and got swept. I'm not even sure how that's possible with this level of goaltending.

One more for the Goldies

@ElliottWolfeJ Here’s an option if you felt like adding 3-4 hours of biking to your daily routine:

@blashdril But have you considered:

[Gregory Balloch @GregBalloch]

The Flyers should straighten their logo out

[Gregory Balloch @GregBalloch]

@jmoss16 @ElliottWolfeJ Why would a franchise that would create 10x the revenue and have 10x the popularity be the backup plan

[Gregory Balloch @GregBalloch]

@Tomas_TDE Death by 1000 paper cuts, way cooler

[Gregory Balloch @GregBalloch]

A very exciting day for the @deltaicehawks! There will be a completely new structure for Junior A and B hockey in British Columbia next season.

[BC Hockey Conference @thebchc]
