Swift Current

They were a robust, nasty team.

Go to the A&W across the street and then either drive back through China or head out to Swift Current, depending on what the schedule was.

But always good memories of Lyle.

Amazing.

You sons of bees.

Those, uh, those salesmen are really working the, in Swift Current, Saskatchewan.

They are, eh?

Yeah.

in, uh, Saskatchewan, like, as you can see- Not a lot of bodies of water

No, you're not doing any wakeboarding?

It is odd that Swift Current was the place that was selling the boats.

That did catch me by surprise.

We'll start with the Most Valuable Player, who also happens to be the Rookie of the Year.

Swift Current 57 slugger Jake Hiromoto had an unbelievable campaign, including breaking the league records for homers and RBI.

When all was said and done, he hit 394 with 17 doubles, 22 homers, 77 RBI, and an OPS of 1.227. Here's the new MVP and Rookie of the Year, Jake Hiromoto.

So joined by Jake Hiromoto.

I- in terms of the voting for these awards, uh, the, the voter pool includes head coaches from across the, the WCBL as well as members of the media who cover it.

So, uh, in terms of the results of Rookie of the Year and MVP, uh, you were, you placed first on 17 of 22 ballots.

I'm just wondering what that means to you to know that, you know, other people, not just people in Swift Current, but other people around the league recognized what, what kinda season you had.

Yeah, I, I think that it's just, like, mutual respect through the whole, through the whole league, and, and I really appreciate that.

Of course, yeah.

You remember? 'Cause you would've been moved here from Swift Current.

I think I was in grade seven or grade eight, so you were here by now.

And, uh-

When it comes to WHL game experience, the Blazers ranked 13th out of the 23 teams with 1,371 game experience on their roster.

Spokane Chiefs and the Swift Current Broncos, number one and two when it comes to experience.

Who's the biggest team, the heaviest team? Really no surprise.

Kelowna Rockets check in.

They've scored three goals in three games so far this year.

We're getting a good look of the Eastern Division coming through.

Swift current Brandon ahead this week.

So we'll look forward to those games Wednesday.

Uh, "If you are what you eat, then I'm a boiled hotdog," says Tom in Dundurn.

"I grew up on them and still love them today, but I will never eat a disgusting sardine." "I remember going to country dances years ago," this is Carol in Swift Current, "and midnight lunch would come along.

You never ate the sandwiches that had gray filling." [gags] Like, gross.

[laughs] I'm not, I'm not having a sardine sandwich.

I was part of the early stage of a startup of SIGA, one of the executives.

I remember opening up the first casino in North Battleford, Prince Albert, Yorkton, Swift Current.

I wasn't there when, when they opened Swift Current, but the, the, the message...

I was also at Casino Regina.

I was there when we opened the Casino Regina in North Battleford under SIGA.
