Was exciting to watch as an affiliate player last season. TJ almost scored in his second game and shows signs that he could be an impact player in the future

What a special day yesterday was, to get to see my little brother get married to an amazing woman! Was awesome to get to stand for him and be part of the biggest day of his life! Hard to believe within a year, both my siblings have tied the knot. Alexis we’re next hun!

He spent one season with the McMurray Oil Barons but the franchise's 40th captain had a memorable year. Danny led the team in points and is headed to Nipissing Lakers next season. Was a pleasure getting to know Danny and calling his lone season in TheAJHL #gomobgo

Playoffs are the ultimate time of year for sports! This season was the first time since 2020 that I got to call a playoff game and it was awesome to be back! Here's the start of the pregame show, Game 1, Round 1, between the McMurray Oil Barons and Whitecourt

An electric player to watch over the last two seasons! Was a pleasure to get to know him! I know he’ll do well with McMurray Oil Barons alumni Gabe Gratton. Best of luck Carter!

October 4th will forever be one of my favorite games! McMurray Oil Barons hosted Devon for the first time, had an Oilers alumni game that weekend, Taylor Pope and myself got to call part of a game with Louie DeBrusk, and after Alexis surprised me by celebrating my 200th career game

Not only is Chase skilled, but he’s a center who prides himself on being responsible in his own zone. When talking to him, the kid is mature beyond his years. Should be a terrific add for McMurray Oil Barons

There are very few characters like Ryan Arnold in TheAJHL. The veteran of 214 games is getting set for his fifth and final season of junior hockey. Here's his best moments with McMurray Oil Barons #gomobgo

This year I had a first. A coach getting set for his first career game. Sam set up the game brilliantly breaking down the roster, reflecting on the preseason and getting ready for Lloydminster, even through the mix of emotions. One of the best coaches I've worked with #gomobgo

We didn't get him for post-game shows often, but Sam Klassen had to be there after his first career win. Had a little bit of fun while also breaking down the September 13th game against Lloydminster #gomobgo

Another player mature beyond his years. Ben will create offence from the back while also being quietly steady in his own zone. Has the potential to be an excellent defender in TheAJHL #gomobgo

Very rare to get to call three straight teddy bear toss games. Got that oddity last season. Here's Dave Dawson and myself teeing up the pregame show for the final one on December 8th

During my two seasons with McMurray Oil Barons I've called 11 games that ended in overtime. Unfortunately not many ended in favor of the MOB. Here are the calls for all those games

Just another save from the human highlight reel Vincent Filion! Was a pleasure to call his final season of junior hockey with McMurray Oil Barons . One of the most down to earth goalies you will ever meet. Patriotes UQTR are getting a good one! #gomobgo

Obviously Albers will add size to the defence core, but he also brings a slight nastiness that will make him a fan favorite. Massive welcome to the man from Texas!

The potential is through the roof for Davidson. Sergio recently signed with Portland but will come north to develop with the barons. Smart, athletic, capable of making highlight reel saves, he will look good in the blue and gold
