Hockey & Hoops Still Happening๐Ÿ˜Ž

  •  On my Instagram 16 months later. Happy 1st day of June!
  • The Stanley Cup final begins tomorrow night๐Ÿ† Who are you picking between Carolina and Vegas?
  • The NBA title is on the line beginning Wednesday as the New York Knicks seek their first championship since 1973 vs the San Antonio Spurs. The latter beat them in 1999.
Our city, Kelowna, BC, just hosted the Memorial Cup over ten days. The Kitchener Rangers won it for the third time in their history yesterday vs Everett. I won two free tickets ๐Ÿ‘ to see our Rockets fall short last week๐Ÿ˜”

The Hockey Hall of Fame was set up with a great display looking back in time. Thanks to a 2015 inductee for liking my picture♡๐Ÿ“ท

One of the best broadcasters in town for the Memorial Cup was Jeff O' Neill. Like Chris Pronger, he was drafted by the Hartford Whalers. Fifth overall in 1994 - while Pronger went second overall in 1993. 

Hockey history buffs know that Hartford moved to Raleigh, North Carolina in 1997.
Small (hockey) world๐ŸŒŽ

Color Commentary and Movie Magic๐ŸŽฌ

Blue (for the Sabres) on my Instagram today but white (for the snow) yesterday❄๐Ÿ‚

A mix of the two before that with Elvis' "Blue Christmas"๐ŸŽ„

Green for the win too!


Unfortunately, TOO much snow in Buffalo has postponed their last two hockey games - and maybe a third vs Detroit tomorrow✋

This is my first blog post since early July. I have kept busy since then at times working as a background extra in the film industry for 13 days. The most high-profile role was on the first shoot on August 6 when I did a photo session as Lucy Hale's late father. My wife was Jane Seymour.

Take Me Out To The Ballgame? Don't Forget The Food๐Ÿ˜‹ *would be rude๐Ÿฑ

Take me out to the ballgame

Basketball and football get the spotlight more than baseball in my latest round of Instagram pics๐Ÿ“ท

Hey! The sun is shining below and even the Stanley Cup ๐Ÿ† Congrats Colorado!


It's #NationalFriedChickenDay so let's include a little basketball #FoodForThought๐Ÿ”


Jimmy Butler and Stacey King both have their roots with the Chicago Bulls - just like my most recent Instagram photo: Michael Jordan. Read about that nickname here.


A word that sounds like nickname is below and I'm guessing we all said it when we were young kids๐Ÿ˜†

Stick Up...for Hockey๐Ÿ“ฃ And People!

Three of my last four Instagram posts have had a hockey flavor⌣ 

#TisTheSeason The NHL season starts with two games tonight - including the expansion Seattle Kraken in Las Vegas. A V for VancouVer who finish their 6-game road trip to start the season in Seattle on October 23rd. One week from today the Canucks will be in Buffalo in a matchup of my two favorite teams! 


I am back for my fourteenth season as the imaging voice for the Sabres on the MSG-TV broadcasts๐Ÿ“บ


Fights, camera & action๐ŸŽฌ

Three It Up 4 These Two๐Ÿ‘ฉ‍❤️‍๐Ÿ‘จ


Three's a crowd on yesterday's Instagram post but 3 nice couple (snacks count!) photos before that๐Ÿ˜Š

Are you enjoying the Tokyo Olympics? 
I recently narrated a longer piece involving Japanese history. It had a lot of pronunciations that were challenging but I came through with a gold medal performance๐Ÿ†


Have an awesome August๐ŸŒž

Tee It Up⛳ or Tree It Up๐ŸŒฒ

My latest posts on Instagram all seem to have Trees to some degree in the background๐Ÿ‘€

If you want to be picky, those are plants above the birthday boy, Justin, on lucky June 13th๐Ÿ€


How do you like my new backyard hoop? 

Lots of trees! 
A famous basketball Tree was probably very excited to see the team that drafted him 14th overall in 1977 win game 7 against the '76'ers last night. Tree Rollins spent a decade with the Atlanta Hawks and was known for his defense and shot-blocking⛔
I see Tree turned 66 last week so belated Happy Birthday!

I was blessed yesterday to celebrate my 30th Father's Day๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’ž
Thanks to this tribe for a nice evening out!
