Throwback Thursday – #tbt – The Greatest Saskatoon Blade of All-Time (March 2015)

Sasha and I got to meet Wendel Clark at “Hometown Hockey” in Regina back in 2015. (Even had a funny exchange with a hero from my childhood.) Kinda funny that his junior numbers weren’t amazing (he’s no Connor Bedard, that’s for sure!) but I suspect it was actually his PIM which helped him go first […]

Connor Bedard Is Having An All-Time Season

This article is from mid-March but it’s still amazing how dominant Connor Bedard has been and what a privilege it’s been that he’s playing in Regina so I’ve been able to see him play a few times. Draft-eligible seasons: • McDavid (47GP) – 44G, 120PTS• Bedard (47GP) – 59G, 123PTS He’s 7 months younger. He […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – I Wonder What Their Tourism Slogan Is? (February 2008)

Given our province’s recent track record, “Access One” would probably be good enough and they wouldn’t even need to make a new sign!

Friday Fun Link – The New Slogan Is Working! AEW Is Coming To The City That Rhymes With Fun

Okay, I’m pretty sure the dates announces for the Canadian Tour predates the “Experience Regina” rebrand. But who cares because I’ve got tickets and am going! Plus it’s apparently going to be a TV taping, possibly for a brand new AEW show. As a teaser, here’s some highlights from an amazing match AEW showed on […]

Music Monday – “Experience Regina” (Well, It Was An Experience To Be in Regina This Weekend Anyhow!)

“Experience Regina” Parody (Watch It To See Some of Regina’s “Highlights”) You may have heard that Tourism Regina recently rebranded. It started with a teaser clip and message on social media at the start of March: It’s All Happening… Let’s push the narrative; the same old is boring. Our city is changing, and that means […]

Saturday Snap – “Do you need a campaign volunteer who has helped candidates win at least 10% of the campaigns he’s worked on?”

Chief Cadmus Delorme of Cowessess First Nation is one of, if not the most, high profile Indigenous leaders in Saskatchewan for his work in business, child welfare and much more. (Unfortunately, part of his high profile,including an interview for CBS’s “60 Minutes” show, is for very tragic reasons.) Above is a pic of myself and […]

Saturday Snap – Pretty Good Spot for @Frost_ReginaSK Fireworks!

Pace has been working at some Pats’ games to earn money for a school trip. We signed him up for the Saturday game not thinking that it would be Frost Festival at REAL but luckily I popped into the Exhibition Grounds on Friday night on the way to supper with some friends and realised that […]

Music Monday – “Cause if summer is here/I’m still waiting there/Winter is here/And I’m still waiting there”

I have many fond memories of regularly going to the Ness Creek Music Festival, a hippie festival in Northern Saskatchewan, when I was in my twenties. I can’t remember their name but one moment of perfection was a band I’d never heard of but that ended up being a reggae band who brought a little […]
