Some personal news: tomorrow, May 28, will be my last episode of Free For All Friday. After 7 years hosting a national show on @iHeartRadioCA , @NEWSTALK1010 , @CFRAOttawa , @AM800CKLW , and many more, it's time. A thread on what this show meant to me, and what's next. 🧵
A nice tribute on #HNIC from @FriedgeHNIC and @Ron_MacLean recognizing David Branch.
The story from @AttackOHL alum Jonah Gadjovich really hit home. Dave was best known as Commissioner of @OHLHockey, but he was also a very thoughtful person who genuinely cared about others 🎥
Deeply saddened to learn of David’s passing.
For nearly five decades, his leadership helped shape generations of athletes and left a lasting impact on junior hockey across Ontario. My condolences to his family, friends, and the entire hockey community.
I got to know Dave Branch as a minor hockey coach and someone who cared deeply for development. Our breakfast meetings often covered both headlines in hockey and grassroots. Patsy, Barclay, Kyle and Wade…my deepest sympathies. I will miss the stories and his laugh.
Tough day. Forever grateful for my time working for Mr. Branch, who really did inspire those around him with his genuine love for the league and the players that make it so great.
Got to see two of my favourite Ottawa people at the @HardRock Ottawa guitar smash…. @ChiefHutt and GO @Senators GO owner Michael Andlauer. And yes they were both excellent guitar smashers!
Due to inclement weather, Trafalgar Castle School is CLOSED today and all classes have been cancelled. Stay safe, stay warm and have some fun in the snow!

For their official start to Beyond the Castle yesterday, our Grade 12 students ventured to @FlemingHSAD School of Art & Design to put their artistic & #engineering skills to the test & learn the art of making chain jewelry and ceramics!
We're excited to welcome our students back to school tomorrow & are sharing some #mondaymotivation with them to get them pepped! January 1 may have passed, but remember that you can make a fresh start, set new goals or start over whenever you want & however many times you need.
