Had a great chat with Dwyer at this morning’s announcement. Calls himself a ‘demanding coach’ and says it’s his goal for the Regiment to be one of the top organizations in the CHL.

Here it is in all its glory - the Newfoundland Regiment navy blue jersey. Proudly carrying history onto the ice, our new jersey is inspired by the courage, unity, and resilience of those brave soldiers. It’s more than just a uniform, it’s a symbol of our province’s legacy.

My takeaways: Dwyer got his guys, all 3 1st-rounders were the ones he wanted. Veitch ready to embrace pressure of playing at home. GM compared Norman's skating ability to Lane Hutson, Quinn Hughes (!) MacLean working hard to make teams regret not taking him 1st overall.

Absolutely thrilled to be able to write this piece about Seth taking the next step in his journey. He joined me in the booth for a few Growler games and it won't be long until he's calling games in the NHL. Can't wait to tune in.

Committed to NCAA on June 26 but will be staying in the Q for his overage szn. Point-per-game player over the last two seasons with Drummondville and Victoriaville. 38 goals in 23-24. Small and strong at 5-9, 175. Regiment version of Zach Solow? Could be key contributor for NL.

The Newfoundland Regiment kicked off a new era of hockey in St. John's last night. I caught up with NL rookies Ben Veitch, Quinn Norman and their families to talk about their Q debuts and the culmination of years of hard work and sacrifice.

B'ys, I wanna write about the Blue Jays but I need a local hook. Any NLers take in the games in Toronto this weekend? Anyone heading to NY for Game 3? Hit me up. Please RT.

Veitch celebrated his 16th birthday a little early with his first QMJHL goal on Sunday against Baie-Comeau. In his haste to celebrate with his family, he forgot the puck in his locker.

Back in 2010, my final exam in j-school was to write a Toronto Blue Jays game story from the Dome for Shi Davidi and Malcolm Kelly (author of SPROG) . The Jays won but that wasn't the story. It was the quietest, worst-attended game in team history. Boy, lots can change in 15 years hey?
