This is very tough to watch. They're now honoring the deceased players and staff. I'm a little choked up. Very sad.

Great of TSN to just show this start to finish commercial free. They’ve all done amazing holding it together. The banner ceremony is pretty tough. The team Chaplin had a great speech.

Fantastic effort by the community to do this and open it up to everyone. That’s the prairies for you though.

Was able to watch most of the game/ceremonies. Crushed me see the former players come out on the ice and how emotional that must’ve been for them. Tsn did a great and classy broadcast.

Watched from start to finish. TSN knocked it out of the park by going the whole way commercial free (although I'm not sure what company would want to advertise at this time). A whole evening of prime time and they brought out all their heavy weights - it was a first class job. I've always thought Ray Ferraro was a good color guy but last night he topped anything he has done before in my opinion. As always his hockey analysis was great but being a former player, and one who played junior (BCJHL and WHL) he was able to relate to almost everything and did a fantastic job with the non game stuff too. How team mates bond, what the bus is like, what it's like to play junior, how the billet families factor into their lives etc. It seemed he always had something appropriate to say.

Was pleasantly surprised to see more Calgary kids on the current roster now than I would have otherwise expected, including two that my kids know from junior high school.

Just watched the highlights, and wow - that was really well done.

Camrud looked good out there, and definitely too advantage of having that many eyes on him. Could be something fun to watch over the year.

Patter is a pro. Well spoken, passionate and a gamer for sure.

I saw this story regarding the licensing system in Alberta and thought that it was relevant to our previous discussions in this thread.

After painfully watching a truck from Ontario take 15 minutes to back up into a door I suspect there's a problem back east as well. Zero chance this driver could pass a class 1 test by a real examiner.

^^^^^

Problem is passing the test doesn't have much to do with the ability to quickly back into a door. It's kind of like parallel parking on a class 5 test. Everyone who has a license parallel parked but how many could actually do it well in their day to day driving.

There's a million drivers out there that suck at backing in that aren't necessarily bad drivers on the road. Wasn't trying to take away from your point, btw, maybe even adding to it.

This is like saying "he's a good pilot but not great at landing"

If one doesn't at least have a clue of the geometric's of backing up a semi trailer I don't want that person (who btw probably bought his licence) on the road period.

And no, it's not like parallel parking for a class 5 or I should say it didn't use to be, years ago if you hit a curb or run over a marker cone while backing up you failed immediately and scheduled a new test. when properly trained you are taught to back up in 3 settings, the straight in and the two 90 degree instructions (one being blind side) The gentleman from Ontario didn't even know how to do the straight in, we are talking completely clueless here.

Knowing these skills isn't just about backing up to dock either, there are times on the road where a driver needs to get out of a troubled area like say an accident scene, for instance, think of the problems if a cop asks a truck driver to back up out of the troubled area so to let traffic threw or even worst emergency crews and he can't do it!.

I imagine the stress has been immense.

I have stepped away from the Humboldt Broncos. Despite the extreme stress and constant pressure of working with the organization, I gave them everything I possibly could and am proud of their performance, and mine, this season.
I will issue a proper statement shortly.

Rumor I heard he was actually fired, but it was made to look like he quit.



He got thrown out of couple games, including throwing a water bottle at an SJHL official. Not liked at all, including his own players. Major ass on the bench. Some shady stuff going around the team. Boys on the team have noticed this.
