SJHL Broadcasting Poll...with 1 Thought

I'm sure everyone has seen the results of the SJHL Broadcaster's Survey.

Fine choices by everyone, and big thanks to Craig Stein for putting this together. Just one quick thought. Estevan was voted the worst rink to broadcast from, but I'll bet anybody money that next year it's number 1 rink to broadcast with Spectra Place opening up soon.


For questions where everyone voted, a player could get a maximum of 24 points (8 1st place votes). I'll post at least the top 3 for each. If there are close ones outside of that, I'll go 4 or 5. Again, 3 pts for a 1st place vote, 2 pts for 2nd, and 1 pt for 3rd.
