15 years after being part of this amazing CBC team covering the Olympics, nice to see the rings in Whistler again. A games that had an enormous impact on the country. Sadly, we lost one of this merry band several years ago. RIP Eric Foss.

I've been inching towards 7000 followers slower than a turtle to a marathon finish line. I am 11 away. That's a soccer lineup ⚽️ or the # of Cups won by Henri Richard. Can you give me 11 Stanley Cups?

Not sure I’ve seen a scenario where a public address announcer (and a high profile one) quits over what ostensibly seem like “artistic” differences. 🤷🏼‍♂️ #ChiefsKingdom
Longtime Chiefs public address announcer Dale Carter announced today he’s stepping down from his role with the club immediately. His “third down” call will be missed by Chiefs fans. No immediate word on his replacement.
