At least it is this weekend! The fun and frivolity starts tonight, when the U of R Rams host the U of S in a CIS Canada West football semi-final. The Rams knocked off the Huskies in Saskatoon last week to earn the right to host tonight's game. Wish I could be there!
I'll be a few blocks away at the Brandt Centre, as the Pats host the Moose Jaw Warriors. Access is broadcasting tonight's game, and I'll be handling the colour commentary. I believe former Warriors broadcaster Randy Merkely is looking after the play-by-play. The Pats are taking a lot of heat for one-sided losses to Swift Current and Prince Albert in the past week. Regina's ongoing penchant for third period collapses is becoming more than a minor annoyance. Plus it would help if the team could get a few goals from players not named Eberle, Kraus or Pyett once in a while.
Tomorrow, the action starts with a little Hockey Regina novice rec action, as the Bullets take on the Lightning. The game ends at 1:15 p.m., which presents a bit of a problem - considering the Riders and Toronto Argos kick off at Mosaic Stadium at 1 p.m. It wouldn't have been a problem if the bright lights at the CBC didn't push to have the start time moved back from 2 p.m. Thanks CBC, appreciate it.
And then, some deep thinker with the Bullets organization decided the kids on young Jacob's team should get fitted for sweats and sweatshirts after tomorrow's game, keeping us at the rink even longer. YOU WANT TO FIT THE KIDS FOR SWEATS AT THE SAME TIME THE RIDERS ARE PLAYING? WHAT KIND OF A MORON COMES UP WITH A PLAN LIKE THAT?? Oh well, maybe we'll make it to the stadium by half-time. Sheesh.

Hey Pete - enjoy every minute with your young guy, it's worth its weight in gold.
Poor Bernhardt..shipped from Kelowna to P.A. Oh well at least he has eight points and he may help them. Come to think of it thats a heck of a lot more points than most of the Pats other than the top line.
Oh-oh. Bernhardt and Ryan MacDonald on the same team again?
Jeez, if Campese thought he had problems before - just wait!
At least the Rams won!
the Pats suck right now man..where would they be without P.A....Gross and Lind are kept around because???? MJ has more talent...much better coached team.
Thank goodness for the Rams. Hopefully they can get past Manitoba or Calgary next weekend.
The Pats played soft last night. Aside from a few hits from Tuebert and Ross, they weren't aggressive at all. So much for home ice advantage.
