I first listened to Jim Robson as a kid in Edmonton on radio broadcasts of Canucks games. Years later, I had the pleasure of spending an afternoon with the legend at his home in Kits while I was working on a Canucks book. A truly gracious man. RIP and condolences to his family.

Big time @PB_Uncommitted player to watch this week in Toronto.

Also up to 90 on the hill in Sylvan Lake, arm strength translates to the hot corner.

Hitter. 👍👍

@KevinisInGoal That is a great painting! Loved Dryden when I was a kid.

Our new report finds BC’s frontline government social workers are understaffed, lacking training and unable to get timely access to community supports that hamper their ability to care for our most vulnerable young people.

@baynationhoops It was streamed on the spectrum basketball YouTube channel

[Jeff Rud @Rud60]

@Michael26143821 @romelwilliams @chris_synesael @baynationhoops @Sportvictoria2 For sure. And a huge defensive presence.

[Jeff Rud @Rud60]

@romelwilliams @chris_synesael @baynationhoops @Sportvictoria2 No Hudson Trood, who is Dover’s big. Didn’t see the game but he is a huge part of their success

@LeyneLes I have been cut off by an atmospheric river. Soon, I will be eating the cats.

[Jeff Rud @Rud60]

@LeyneLes I’m tired of all this political dog-Ma

[Jeff Rud @Rud60]

@LeyneLes Bohdi wouldn't have cut you off, Les. :)

[Spectrum Boys Basketball @SpecSrBoysBball]

Gio De Gracia and Coach Verde representing Spectrum in the BC AllStar Game. Well done! #SpecWhat

Luke adds grit, character, and BUCKETS to our backcourt!

“Toughness+determination personified” -@Sky_Smith_

This young man is going to be so so good for the Aggies!

Thanks, @HuffmanCoach

[Jeff Rud @Rud60]

@baynationhoops They shouldn’t call it an all-Canadian game when it isn’t. I realize the strength is in Ontario and Quebec but there are players elsewhere too.

Our guy Luke!!
