Sometimes you lack motivation to do the good things: eat better, drink more water, exercise more Then you see a picture of yourself from 93-pounds ago and it kind of motivates you again. “If he can do it, I can do it!” Shocking, even to myself, to see the difference.
#BabySteps
They get a hard time from players, coaches, management, fans and even the broadcasters (at times), but we can all agree
@TheWHL
will miss these two absolute pros wearing the arm bands. Congratulations Steve Papp and Chris Crich on remarkable careers!
#Stripes
Summer 2023 had some highs, and one of the lowest lows, but the self improvement process has been on the high front!
Down 40lbs since end of hockey season last year, and a lot more to go!

For those that were concerned about the
@WHLHurricanes
relying on 17-year-Old Carl Tetachuk as the
#1
goalie, consider this:
- Named WHL’s Rookie of the Month for February.
- Last seven games:
6-1-0-0 record
1.97 GAA
.938 SV%
2 shutouts
He’s good!

There’s many things that I love about the job that I do but it's the family & friends you build that to me is the most gratifying part. Tonight is special. Seeing Tony Deys back in the rink & hearing his voice boom through the

gives me chills. Welcome back brother!
Congratulations to
@Brent_Kisio
on becoming the first

Well, earlier this week I tested positive for COVID-19 (I’m doing well, thanks to being double vaccinated). However, in keeping with AHS protocols, I am in Day 5 of 10 of home isolation. Therefore, I will be calling tonight’s

Very classy gesture by Justin Hall who initiated a line up of handshakes for his fellow overagers on the Calgary Hitmen, Cael Zimmerman, Blake Allan and Blake Stevenson. Congratulations and good luck to those three gentlemen in whatever is next!!

Hard to believe it’s been a half decade of

hockey. Big thanks to all who’ve listened and cheered through the radio, not just this year, but over the last five years. And a big thank you to those who have passed along kind words. It’s been a wild ride.

It was an extreme pleasure & honour to have been asked to introduce
@Avalanche
Stanley Cup Champion Wade Klippenstein at his gathering today. It’s not every day you get to introduce a Cup Champ while being able to ogle the Holy Grail. Plus, a pic with my buddies Easton & Ryan!

Carson Briere (son of Daniel Briere)
Chase Dafoe (son of Byron Dafoe)
Phillipe Lapointe (son of Martin Lapointe)
Connor Sweeney (son of Bob Sweeney)

Some pretty good recruiting!
Colour man extraordinaire! Was so much fun having one of my faves over the years,
@PrefontaineTy
on colour tonight! And, he’s a perfect 1-0! We’ll do it again next time!!
Of the eight remaining NHL teams left in the

Heaven gained an angel today, and I know you will be watching over and guiding us along the way!
I love you! ❤️

I am not one bit surprised that
@jordybellerive
has thus far defy the odds. If there is three words that I think best describes this young man is: Drive, Determination and Focus. All three are helping him with this latest obstacle. This is such great news.
I’ve never been nervous about the WHL Trade Deadline before… but now I am. With these prices, Peter might be considering what he can get for a very mediocre play by play guy. Stay tuned. Hopefully by 3:00pm MT on Tuesday, I’m still a Hurricane 😂😂😂
It’s not the usual broadcast set up in Edmonton, but hot damn!! Let’s go!!

Concordia continue to stretch their reach out west with three recent commitments from F Ryan Vandervlis (Lethbridge, WHL/Red Deer HJHL), F Mike MacLean (Prince George, WHL), and F Jeff de Witt (Red Deer, WHL).
It was a thrill to interview

on Friday over the phone and today I got to meet him for the first time. What an incredible person, Broadcaster and storyteller! Thanks for everything, Ron, including all the years so far on Hockey Night in Canada and

I’m very saddened to hear the news of the passing of Mitch Ball from COVID-19. I got to know Mitch through his work as a WCBL Umpire at Bulls games. The Lethbridge sporting community has lost a great person. Sincerest condolences to his family and friends.

It baffles me that an 18-year-old defenseman can score 20 goals, 68 points, lead the entire
@TheWHL
in defenseman scoring and there is no love in draft rankings. I’m not sure what else
@WHLHurricanes
Alex Cotton could’ve done yet still doesn’t get the respect. He’ll be a steal.

Laying you down to rest with my own hands was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. I will love and miss you forever, Grandma! Until we meet again, as you always said at the end of a call, buhbye! ❤️🌹 Rest easy, Gram!
Great to see that the
@HumboldtBroncos

WATCH: A police officer saved the life of a choking 3-week-old baby as her distraught family watched. "Not only did the officer save the baby, but the officer did an outstanding job consoling the family," the Sterling Heights Police Department said.
It’s hard to put into words how proud of this guy I am. First time seeing
@ssskipy_74
start an NHL game nearly brought me to tears. Such a cool moment. Seems like yesterday he was a 15-year-old in Lethbridge, and now look at him. So proud.

The Arizona Coyotes will share an arena with Arizona State University for at least the next three seasons after an agreement with ASU was approved by the Arizona Board of Regents, which oversees the state's public university system.
To say this Christmas/Holiday Season was a difficult one for the Forbes’ would an epic understatement. Not only lost a Papa, lost one of my best golfing buddies! The photo from the last time we went! Ha.
