OP-ED: With Rogers closing 1130 NewsRadio (CKWX-AM) and returning the station’s licence to the CRTC, one of Canada’s largest metropolitan areas no longer has a #radio station devoted around the clock to gathering, verifying, and delivering local news.

This is bad news on many fronts. There are a lot of good people who work hard that just had the rug pulled out from underneath them. This also leaves a void in a market that deserves better for its sports fans. We have some great podcasts, but no collective hub for fans.
Participation or Competitive Sport?

Well-intentioned parents can derail development. Stop “joysticking,” ditch car-ride coaching, and lead with support. The simplest phrase might be the best: “I love watching you play.” Watch episode 11 of Better Sports Parents with @ScottRintoul. https://t.co/Cz1n7wL02B
John Garrett was the best person to around. He always had a smile, a funny quip, a story to share. He knew the game intimately, but knew it was still a game, something meant to be fun, and he made it more fun.
I’m so saddened by this loss, and my heart goes out to his family. ♥️
@BeefJyrki@FarhanLaljiTSN Really interesting take. I don’t interpret it the same way, but your perspective is forcing me to think through the episodes. Thank you for sharing and supporting. 👊

@BeefJyrki@FarhanLaljiTSN Thanks for the feedback. We're trying to explore issues that are relevant for all families and kids. FWIW I think most families would prefer community options but either feel pressure to go private or don't have another option depending on the sport or their geography.
Had an excellent conversation with @FarhanLaljiTSN on Better Sports Parents this week that included a discussion about the skyrocketing costs in youth sports.
