Always a highlight seeing my friend Dante DeCaria, PxP voice of the Regina Pats
We both were mentored by Jerry Howarth, longtime radio voice of the Toronto Blue Jays.
Dante is an incredible multi-sport talent and an individual I respect and value as a friend.

Watching Kraken/Ducks.. If Anaheim had gone back to their original green scheme with the Mighty Ducks logo, the colours would’ve been waaay too close to Seattle’s when they play head 2 head. So that’s a positive of them going orange (I personally like it)
