A memorable day in my hometown of Saskatoon.

Thank you to Jacob Wassermann for being so open and trusting while sharing his journey. And to his wife Maddy for being equal vulnerable.

Back to Toronto early tomorrow. Full heart 💚 🌾

Beside Jacob Wassermann through it all is his wife Maddy.

A beautiful love story.

Now sharing this para rowing journey together. I just spent some time with Maddy. She is just overwhelmingly proud of Jacob.

It’s pretty special to be home in Saskatoon — along the river I spent my childhood biking and roller blading along, documenting the remarkable story of Humboldt Broncos bus crash survivor Jacob Wassermann.

Feeling really grateful to be here today.

Second training session of the day is about to begin for Jacob Wassermann here in Saskatoon.

Wearing a Humboldt Strong hat as he makes his way down to the dock to get in the boat for another practice.

Two months to go until the Paralympics and he’s pushing hard for the Games.

Rise and shine sports fans.

Good morning from the South Saskatchewan River in Saskatoon.

It’s 3 degrees here this morning. A brisk prairie morning. And a full day of Paralympic feature gathering ahead. More to come. Have a great start wherever this finds you.

Back-to-back 13 point comeback wins for the Roughriders to start the season.

Reclaiming the number 13 one comeback at a time. Or something.

Really looking forward to next weekend’s home opener in the heartland of football. See you there Rider Nation 🌾

It’s a 33-30 Riders win over the Ticats. And Saskatchewan leads the West at 2-0. See you at Mosaic next Sunday for the home opener.

Proud uncle moment.

My niece, wearing #2, and her Saskatoon all-girls team just defeated the all-boys team from Warman.

And the celebration is on at Jemini Arena. A great game by both teams. Final score: 6-5

Sunday night in Saskatoon and I’m at Jemini Arena watching my niece play in a 3-on-3 championship game.

And every TV around the rinks is showing the Riders vs Ticats game. And most of the locals are glued to the game.

Never change Saskatchewan. It’s good to be home.

So long, Edmonton.

Oilers send it back to Florida. What a game. Always great spending time in the Alberta capital.

Back to Saskatoon. Paralympic interview tomorrow. Toronto Tuesday. Leaving for Paris 2024 in one month. Can’t stop, won’t stop.

STILL ALIVE IN EDMONTON

Good morning sports fans. All is quiet at the Moss Pit outside of Rogers Place in Edmonton the morning after an Oilers 8-1 victory over Florida. It was quite the party here last night.

They’ll gather at least one more time for Game 5 on Tuesday night.

Nearly 11pm in Edmonton and still pretty light out here.

A fitting orange glow after a memorable Oilers 8-1 victory.

I miss these seemingly endless prairie nights. Good night from Oil Country.

The party is hitting high gear outside Rogers Place.

They’re gathered around Gretzky and chanting and cheering and this is outstanding.
