. I still have this message saved he sent me last summer. It meant the world coming from another Sasky sports broadcaster, let alone a legend like him. I can’t put into words how much he will be missed.

(best compliment)
A lot shouted “what’s your name?” & “are you the new Sara?” I told guys in one section my name & they started a “Brit” chant. Made me feel like a rockstar for a second, so thanks!😅
Anyone saying I was “too excited” in my post game interviews: that was my first LDC on the sidelines & it went to OT!!🤩I would’ve been that way either way. I LOVE THIS GAME & I am blessed to cover it.

🫶🏻 (I also received tons of supportive messages so y’all rock)
Me: Thanks for getting down to my level finally.
Jake: No, I just can’t hear you otherwise. It’s so loud in here right now. 😆
Well done, Ridernation. Well done.
Good thing it wasn’t Robertson who knocked that down… that would be a wee bit controversial to say the least…

I can’t thank
@saraorlesky
(aka the 🐐) enough for showing me the ropes of sideline reporting the last few months.🏈To say she will be missed, is an understatement! One of the most beautiful people inside & out! (Only makes sense we end up twinning on our last game together)

Is this a Sasky thing? You pull into a small town and don’t know where the rink is but you just have this sixth sense and somehow just lead yourself there. Granted there usually aren’t too many streets. But I’m batting a thousand on finding it first set of turns currently.
North Regina are the 2023 Canadian Little League Champions after defeating Vancouver’s Little Mountain (Team BC) 4-3
They will go on to represent 🇨🇦 at the Little League World Series in Williamsport, PA.
This is only the second time a Sask team has accomplished this feat. 👏🏼
After 10 blissful days on the farm-
Calves born: 42
Bales fed: 49
Rocks picked: 158

It’s time to trade in the coveralls for my on-air best.

Hey

@Sportsnet
the Schneider family is from my small town in Sask of less than 400 people. Hope you can give them some love at the game today for this amazing feat!! (P.S. Photo says where they’re sitting & also they don’t know I am doing this 😬)
Wrapped my
@CFLonTSN
season! I LOVE EVERY crew member, but majority of my games were alongside these two. I can’t even put into words the amount of fun, belly laughs, 🍻🍷, delayed flights we’ve had together. They’ve quickly become my football family! Beyond grateful🏈🤎
Two years ago Lanny McDonald spent an entire day signing autographs for fans and still let me interview him after for an assignment; when I was just a Uni student in Broadcasting. Today I got to thank him for getting me an A+ on that documentary.

Sadly Mama cow didn’t make it after calving these adorable twins this weekend.
So that meant a weekend of helping with taking on Mama’s roles and taking endless photos in between with my new besties.
Meet Mika & Henrik. 🐮🐮❤️❤️
A very Sask tweet coming your way:
My boyfriend is on his way home from night shift at the rig. The hwy is slowly closing as he’s travelling. So heads up if you see a white Chevy truck pull into your farm somewhere between Creelman and Regina it could be him.😬 Be safe folks!
Finally announced it on-air. It’s bittersweet to say goodbye to my co-host (who stuck by my side for the full 4 years🤯) & the rest of the AMAZING crew! ❤️ FYI, I LOVE MY JOB! However, pursuing sports has always been my passion. Happy I am staying in the CTV Regina family🙏🏼

Team Saskatchewan advances to the Brier final for the first time since 1995. Y’all that was literally the year I was born!!! They will take on Team Canada at 6pm local. Saskatchewan has not won since 1980! And have not won on home soil since 1955…THIS CROWD IS ELECTRIC!!

Small-town prairie & big city Toronto gals becoming besties is proof opposites attract! (or maybe our super energetic personalities had something to do with it🤷🏼♀️)

if I should do the

But I think he’s scared I’ll make him do it too🤔 (I’ve been stressing him for the last 4 years which may have aged him an extra 10)
My notes: dialled down the backcombing & lost the tiara
All I’m saying is you’d think for the amount of times the commentators get to say “yellow stone” at the Scotties, at least one would take the opportunity to drop a Dutton Ranch reference.
I wish Twitter would let me pick endless photos!!! Can’t believe

Being able to pull an entire bale of strings by yourself instead of asking for help halfway through because they’re frozen and you’re not strong enough. HELLO SPRING WEATHER🙌🏻☀️
Dan Clark addressing the media for the first time since suffering a broken leg in week 2.
“I thought ‘I don’t know if I can come back from this, I’m too old.’ But what crept into my mind was I survived a car accident and being ejected from that, so a broken leg ain’t nothing.”

Mateychuk, Yager, and Firkus on being invited to Canada’s National Junior Team Selection Camp for this year’s World Juniors. The first time 3 of the team’s players have been invited to 🇨🇦’s camp. Shoutout to Yager for being the only Sask Product as well👏🏼

“I told my wife in 2015 I’d love to be the quarterback of the Saskatchewan Roughriders some day. So I couldn’t be more delighted to be here and I’ll never take for granted being the quarterback of this franchise.”
Since
