Football Dinner and Spring Camp Thoughts

It was a busy weekend in Estevan, as the Bruins held their Annual Spring Camp and the Annual Football Fundraiser Dinner took place.

I'll start with the football dinner. It was a fun night as Jason Clermont, Chris Getzlaf and Matt Dominguez were the Guest Speakers of the evening. The voice of the Regina Rams Michael Ball was the MC and provided plenty of humor throughout the evening. I had a chance to speak with Ball a little bit early on the evening and it was kind of nice speaking with Ball since once upon a time Ball was in the same position as me, the voice of the Estevan Bruins and working at CJ1280.

Clermont, Getzlaf and Dominguez were all good speakers and entertained the crowd. Later tonight I'll post the interviews the media with Matt Dominguez and Jason Clermont. Not surprising with 2 current and 1 former receivers, Andy Fantuz was a popular topic.

Clermont's autographed jersey was the hottest item at the live auction as it sold for 4,200 dollars.

At the Bruins spring camp it was highly competitive as 65 players from Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the United States were in town competing for spots with the Bruins. It's going to be a different looking Bruins team next season, and this weekend was the first look at that team.

I'll post an interview I did with former Bruins Head Coach Chad Leslie, where we talked about the players in camp and the future direction of the team.

A fun weekend covering some sports again, unfortunately it's a long time until its the fall again.
