Prez Len Rhodes as he announces record $845 thousand donated to minor,jr,amateur and grass roots football through 50/50. 4.5 million total. Pretty good legacy.
My wife : “Is there hockey tonight?
Me: “Yes. It’s the playoffs. There is hockey every night”
My wife:”sigh”
We will have the same conversation tomorrow.
Spent a lot of years on the Oilers beat with Robin Brownlee - had some great chats, heated arguments, good meals & a lot of laughs. Even got to be on the “Canadian Bobsled team” with him. Condolences to his family. Too soon man. Too soon.

Currently in a room with Terry Vaughn, Ricky Ray, Hec Pothier, Sean Fleming, Blake Dermott, Mookie Mitchell, Bryan Hall, Geroy Simon, Rick Walters and Tom Wilkinson among others. Pretty star struck. Most are wondering why I’m here

A new addition to our house this weekend My daughter got a puppy - meet Gryffindor. Aparently the name comes from Harry Potter or Star Wars or something else I don’t watch. I suggested Spot.

Sad news. A radio legend I was blessed to work with and know. If you have ever turned on a microphone and talked sports - John Short paved the way for you If you ever turned on radio and listened to sports talk - John Short paved the way for you.

So proud of this girl. I’m going to Winnipeg for football, she is going to Africa to volunteer at an orphanage/school. Big smile and a big heart. It’s going to be a long three weeks for me

My wife and I are currently deciding how to spend our day at home. She wants to clean out our closet and I want to clean out the PVR. The discussion continues.
Congrats to Michael Reilly on retirement. 13 was a rare mix - he won games & sold tickets My thanks for making every pre & post game show better with honest,insightful comments. One of the great EE players of all time. Literally on my Wall of Honour

I started going to the Westin/Fairmont Hotel in Winnipeg in 1992 when I started doing hockey. That’s when I first met Teddy. Since that day he always says Hi Mr Morley every time I see him . He has worked there for 41 years.

kicker Jon Ryan sharing hugs and tears with what I assume is family friends on the field now. Pretty good bet he has played his final pro game. What a career on both sides of the border.

Been planning a trip to London - Paris - Florence and Rome with my girls for over a year. Sitting at the table making calls and sending emails cancelling it all. There are tears.
