After a couple of days rest, I can finally add a little recap to the opening of Spectra Place on Friday. It was a special night, that was made possible by the special speakers.
Before the dinner, I had the chance to meet Brian Burke and take part in a little media scrum. Burke was very professional and was very accommodating to the media. During his speech at the dinner, Burke was very entertaining. He talked about the reason why he keeps coming back to Estevan. Burke answered some questions from the crowd which was pretty hilarious.
Dave Nonis also spoke and talked about his upcoming task as GM of the World Hockey Championship team for Canada.
It always great to speak with any members of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, and that was the case with Darian Durant and Gene Makowsky. I'm really excited to see what Durant does this season for the Riders, this could be a season where the MOP and Grey Cup come to Saskatchewan thanks to Durant.
I did have the chance to meet with Joe Bowen the MC of the evening and it was great to chit chat for a few minutes with the voice of the Maple Leafs. We sure had a nice discussion about unique broadcast accommodations.
Overall a great night and I was happy to be a part of it.
