Showcase Hangover and Broadcasting Update

It was a great weekend for the Estevan Bruins organization as they hosted the SJHL Showcase, and a big hats off to 200+ volunteers who made the weekend a huge success. Everything went smoothly this weekend, and all the visitors whether it was players, fans, coaches or scouts were blown away by the job of the Bruins organization and the volunteers.

I spoke with President Jeff Pierson this morning it will take a few days to calculate the final numbers, but added he was impressed by the number of people who came to the Saturday games without the Bruins in action.
Pierson added the next hockey event the Bruins organization could be targeting is the 2013 World Junior A Challenge, but the organization will have to sit down and do some planning before that happens.

Unfortunately I didn't do any play by play for the webcasts. I'm hoping to do some play by play for tomorrow night's game against Melville. The issues that have prevented me doing play by play are almost solved and I'm crossing my fingers I'll be live on the air tomorrow night on the web.

A lot of people have asked when do I hit the road with the Bruins and to answer that question is after this weekend's road trip I'll be with the Bruins for the rest of their road games for the rest of the season. But I'll post the broadcast schedule and I'll link it to the side of the blog today or tomorrow to keep it handy for everyone.

I will be adding a new weekly feature for the blog tonight so you can check it out later this evening. But as mentioned here's the Bruins broadcasting schedule. All games have pregames at 7:20 with 7:30 faceoffs unless indicated otherwise. Games can be heard on CJ1280 and online at discoverestevan.com
