Here we go game 1 of the Minto Cup at 4pm. Calgary Mountaineers vs Victoria Shamrocks.
Great day up in Innisfail for the Larry Bishop Memorial Cup (JrB Tier 1 championship). Opening ceremony, two games, and a nice chat with the mayor. Plus a hot dog! 🌭🥍

Room is starting to fill up. Pretty sure that I am in the minority, but maybe I can change a few minds. 😀🇨🇦
At the famous Red FM Stampede breakfast. A nice break from pancakes. Stampede is for everybody.
