This is Paige.
Her family came from Paris, ON to see Mikey play. He didn't. He saw the sign and got her an signed stick. Even better - He took her skating on the canal w/the team Sat. They raced. She won. She'll see him play today.
More ppl should be like Mikey.
@canucks
Though he didn't need to, Don paid for a Rangers season ticket in each year since he "stepped away" from the mic. He wouldn't go into the media room when he wasn't working. It's the Don Cameron Media Room.
That's about all you need to know about Don Cameron, the man.

Classy move by the

to honour Cole Cameron in his final regular season game in the

. He played 127 regular season games and 28 playoff matches as an Attack.
@OHLRangers
Holy shit.
This is a must-read thread. Yes, it's American, but we all know it's happening in our backyard too.
I'm hoping our elected officials are making it easier for those Canadians in need.
1. I've never had a hard time sleeping. But the past three nights I have slept a total of 3 hours. I'm writing this so I can sleep.
I am very angry. And I've realized during that having the space to be angry is a privilege because many people are too busy being terrified.
Someone threw a fish on the ice after a Steelheads goal.
Refs were waiting for an arena attendant to come get it, but Axel Bergkvist wasn't waiting. Picked it up barehanded.
Gold.

for letting me learn from the guy that learned from the best. See you soon.
Walter Gretzky's greatest legacy will be how many different people you hear/read say, "I met Walter once..."
He was just as famous as Wayne, and ALWAYS gave everyone the time to chat, and take a picture.
Here's mine:
I never should have left Vancouver. The Soo is cold. My hand hurts sending this. My beard is frosted. And

Not one email to media, or tweet, about the suspensions.
The classic post to the website.

Warning: Political tweet ...
Our province is going to elect a guy that ran with ZERO plan, and wholeheartedly supports the racist, homophobic, bigot of a US President. Wow. 🤦♂️ We are heading in an awful direction as a human race.

Regardless of how much we disagree - which is a lot - we can agree on this:

No one wanted the Rangers.
#OHL
And, we're seeing why. They look incredible... so far.
Cozz with his fourth career playoff shutout, in 21 games.
Series 2-0 Kitch.
Except for schools. And 25-per-cent capacity at nonessential businesses.
So, my niece and nephew can go into their classroom (and recess) with 30 other kids, while I go to HomeSense BUT, I can't go for dinner and a beer with my girlfriend on a patio.
This makes COMPLETE sense.
Luke Richardson goes home with the game sheet for his 50th

Three games at the Bayshore this year for his buddy

with some foreshadowing.
He walked by us pre-game, grabbed my pen and said, "I have a stat for you."
The
@DallasStars
prospect just scored two hours later. 3-0
@OHLRangers
He doesn’t JUST yell about missed offsides and “tricky-tacky penalties,” while telling me to calm down on the puns.
Congrats to my broadcast partner
@farwell_ohl
on this prestigious, but well deserving, award!
Mavs have also signed forward Jake Henderson. The 6-3, 214lb St. Louis native had 15 points in 27 games for Wilfrid Laurier University this season and brings some size to the lineup. He's not expected to play tonight however.
#kcmavs
Had a few ppl reach out, so...
No, I will not be back on
@OHLRangers
broadcasts. After almost 15 years with the station I found out via email, Friday.
#OHL
I'll explain the entire story later, but those close know who called the shot, and why I've expected it.
An unbelievable hockey game in Flint tonight.
"Thank god we traded for Jacob Ingham," said HC McKenzie.
Ingham made 45 saves and the
#OHLRangers
flipped Flint 4-1, snapping their 15-game winning streak.

"There's heroes and there's legends. Heroes get remembered, but Legends Never Die."
Absolutely SHOCKED at news of Don Cameron's passing. Honoured isn't even close to how I felt getting to call Game 6 of the West Final with

Me: "It's

GF: "What's Festivus?"
Me: *Drops head*
GF: "Isn't that a Friends thing?"
Well, we now what is leading off the Airing of Grievances.
When I first started doing games with
@farwell_ohl
I remember asking Mike, "Why do we do this?", or "why do we go this way?"... the answer was always, "It's the way Don always did it." Good enough for me.

How about Cambridge's (
@SpiritHockey
) Tristan Lennox tonight?
17-year-old had 41 saves on 45 shots, in the loss to the Storm.
#OHL
More impressive? He stopped 25 of 27 shots from Guelph's top-two lines: Ratcliffe-Suzuki-Schnarr
Toropchenko-Hawel-Gogolev
Pinelli gets three games... as the OHL's "Spinning Wheel of Suspensions" continues.
How that's three games, I'll never know. Wild.
#OHL
Keep in mind, normally, in playoffs the suspensions are cut in half (2 games in reg szn = 1 in p/o)
I know there's more to think about tonight, but it's extremely difficult broadcasts like this
#HumboldtStrong
pre-game where
@tsnjamesduthie
sets himself apart. Can't imagine how emotionally straining this would be.
Bastian, a Kitchener kid, was 12 when Skinner started his final season with the
#OHLRangers
, scoring 50-goals and 90 points.
Pretty good chance Bastian cheered him at The Aud. Now, not so much.
#OHLStories
Lost in all of this diving nonsense - sadly - is Joseph Garreffa continues to be on FIRE. 19 points in his 8 game point streak.
Not to be outdone, Greg Meireles extended his point streak to 13 games. He has 23 points in that stretch.
