Another Blog post as things are cooling off a little bit as it goes for me but CK750 and CJVR got a big announcement today.
Hockey Canada has officially named us the official Radio Broadcaster for the 2012 RBC Cup next year which is pretty intense for two things, Excitement hockey wise for us for a good chunk of the year and A chance to call a game on the Grandest Stage of them all for Junior A Hockey... I just made a Wrestlemania reference AWESOME.
We'll be doing a lot of games and hopefully I'll see two teams I know well at this tournament in the Broncos and the Okotoks Oilers of the AJHL they are built for next year we'll see what they can do.
On to the poll question I made after the Darrell Mann removal from Melfort and that was where would he go?
Your Choices were
Estevan- 14 Votes

Winner Estevan, I think it's an obvious answer and we'll see what unfolds there with Manner.
On to the SJHL Final and it's been a dandy with Yorkton coming back last night to force game 7 tomorrow in the Mel Hegland Uniplex as the Wolves blew that one kind of like the Terriers did in game 5 so what will unfold remains to be seen, I'm playing the neutral broadcaster card for a winner its too close to call.
Something I'm going to bring up and it drives me nuts is dirty plays that have lead to injuries, case and point Justin Ducharme the kid gets 16 games back in September for a dirty hit, at first you thought he'd learned and was pretty disciplined but then in a situation where the La Ronge Ice Wolves were in the driver's seat to the Anavet Cup, Ducharme runs Curtis Decker into the boards and injures him not sure of his status for tomorrow night but Ducharme get 2 games there.
Does this guy not get the message that there's a championship if you just play smart you win but you took your eye off the prize and could have made things worse if Decker went a different way could have been ugly. Ducharme is becoming a Matt Cooke....Yep I said it, not looking good for a guy as a rookie that will be watched from now until after his junior career unless he turns things around.
People talk about making the game safer I love physicality/violence/fighting and as they say old time Hockey in the game but hits from behind unacceptable and no one could go after Ducharme after because it was so late in the third like the Weyburn/Kinderlsey series with TJ Wees because of the possibility of a suspension. He should be happy he got a suspension because I know a Brent Remenda would take the liberty to bring some vigilante justice.
Hopefully game seven will see a great finish to a great SJHL Season of course the winner will face the Portage Terriers in the Anavet Cup Final and the winner goes to Camrose for a chance at the RBC Cup. I'm taking the broadcaster neutrality card too close to call, It will come down to who shows up more Marc Andre Carre for La Ronge or Clarke Breitkreuz for Yorkton they are the leaders of this series and they have to continue that should be great.
As I type this Adam "Edge" Copeland is retiring from WWE Great Canadian Wrestler he will be missed could carry a match and that Spear was a great finisher and he'll be a Hall of Famer in no time good luck Edge.
NHL Playoffs start Wednesday so excited for that who's gonna win the cup? I'll tell you my picks for the first round tomorrow and yes there is an upset brewing. Who you may ask the...... WAIT TILL TOMORROW.
