I am so grateful my new role will allow me to remain here. So, this isn't a goodbye, but rather an "I'll see you around". I will still be here. You just won't necessarily hear my voice as often.
Well, I guess the cat is out of the bag. Tomorrow is my last day with Golden West. After 12 years (minus 5 months in 2022), I am moving on to a different opportunity that will allow me to work from home for the most part while still staying in an industry that I love.
From having my dream of being a play-by-play announcer come true, to spending 12 years helping the people of Weyburn know what is happening every morning, to covering events from the Sask Oil & Gas Show to the Weyburn Beavers, I have grown to love this city.
@SuePatrick2441 I'm more concerned with plays that are dangerous/have resulted in lengthy suspensions in other leagues. Those need to be called every time.
I don't criticize officiating in hockey, publicly, very often... But if any injuries happen in tonight's WEY-NIP game, the referees need to bear some of the blame. So far I have seen 3 CFBs, two pulldowns on breakaways, a blow to the head and an attempted judo throw all uncalled.
The baseball journal of Weyburn's Lea VanDeSype now has a place at the head office of the @BlueJays.
Her son Brent VanDeSype says, "She is there and her spirit is going to guide this team to a championship this year."

@mblairYQR Interesting to see how this would impact minor and high school ball as well. Especially places like Regina, where the schools play at Mosaic.
Another milestone this year will be 150,000 goals in the history of @theSJHL.
@SJHL_IceWolves is 89 goals away from 5000 in team history, while the sixth goal of the season for the @estevanbruins will be the 13,000th in team history.

Some big milestones for SJHL teams in wins are on the horizon.
@SJHL_IceWolves are 6 from 600
The @SJHL_NorthStars need 28 to hit 1600
@SJHLTerriers need 14 wins to reach 1500
@FFBombers are 11 from 1100 wins.

Some interesting stats from last night's @weyburnredwings . The 12-0 win over Notre Dame was the largest margin of victory in @theSJHL since Nov 8/07 [EST (13) vs BAT (0)], and the 12 goals was the first time a team has scored that many since Nov 20/09 [FF (12) vs WEY (1)].
Angelo Zol's 5th shutut is the most by a Red Wing goaltender in a season since Jack Burgart had five 10 years ago.
This was a game for the ages not only for the Red Wings, but the SJHL.
@VINTAGESASKO The school's board of directors seem to be the one who made the decision, at least that's how the release is worded. My guess is being in a division where the closest opponent is a 3-hour drive played a factor in the costs.
With the puck set to drop on the 2024-25 @theSJHL season, here is a look at some big milestones for some of the teams.
The @weyburnredwings can become the second team to reach 1700 franchise wins with 25 victories this season.
