Is it something in the water?

The Regina and Saskatchewan sporting communities have lost a third high-profile member in the past week!

Saskatchewan Soccer Association Executive Director Bjorn Osieck is leaving in July, to take on the head job with the B-C Soccer Association in Vancouver. For those who don't know, Bjorn has done a tremendous job with the SSA - restoring the organization's credibility in the wake of a fraud scandal involving his predecessor as E.D. He's also worked tirelessly to raise the profile of soccer in this province - not an easy task in the land of the Riders and junior hockey.

Best wishes to Bjorn and his family. They'll be missed.

I don't know about you, but I'm getting tired of saying goodbye to bright, energetic young people who leave this province for greener pastures. "Wide Open Future" indeed...
