JIM ROBSON on the PEAK MONDAY, World U17 Tickets on sale TOMORROW, Bantams off to Provincials!

What a pair of memorable people for Canuck fans! Jim Robson (L) and Jim Hughson (R)

I am extremely happy to report that I have lined up an interview with Mr. Jim Robson for THE PEAK morning show at approximately 8:10am Monday.

We will talk about his time with CJAV in Port Alberni and the start of his broadcasting career, through his move to Vancouver through various sports and leagues and ultimately into the BC Hockey Hall of Fame in 1998 and the BC Sports Hall of Fame in 2000. I can't wait for Monday! And isn't that a change!

I thought to land Jim for an interview because I knew the people of Port Alberni would love to hear from him, and to promote his book that everyone I'm sure would love to read- Hockey Play-by-Play Around the NHL with Jim Robson
Read more about the book and order a copy on the website HERE

Mr. Robson's play-by-play IS NOT easy to find. However, I was thrilled to stumble onto this great video on youtube, with calls I had certainly heard before but NOT called by Jim Robson.

I had only heard Bob Cole and the Amercian feed until I found this video. Mr Robson's call is STUNNING to say the least.

The biggest game in Canucks history, Game 6 of the 1994 final. ENJOY.


Again, 8:10 MONDAY MORNING, I hope you all look forward to it as much as I do!

The Port Alberni Bantam Timbermen are on their way to the B.C. Provincial AA Play-offs in Summerland where they will represent Vancouver Island. Some of the team can look back on reaching the final of the Provincial AA Championships as Peewees two years ago. The whole team has brought their game to new highs this season, including the Vancouver Island Championship, and look forward to reaching higher still. From March 15 to March 18, the Timbermen will play round robin games against other District Champions from all over B.C. and the Yukon. They will open against Terrace, then face Mission, Salmon Arm and Dawson Creek before the finals. The other pool includes Rossland/Trail, Port Moody, host Summerland, Quesnel and Whitehorse. Thanks again to Bantam Timbermen sponsors G.D.M. Boom & Sort, Redmark Ventures and ReMax.

That's it, have a great weekend, thanks for reading!
