Congrats to old friend Dwight McMillan, the head coach of the SJHL’s Weyburn Red Wings. He has put up 999 victories as Weyburn’s head coach, and you should pause and think about that for a moment. But don’t just think about the four-digit number that’s up next and go WOW!. Rather, think about the number of young men whose lives he has impacted – now that’s a WOW!. That, folks, is what coaching junior hockey is all about and no one does it any better at the junior A level than Dwight McMillan – with help from his longtime partner, Ron Rumball, the Red Wings’ general manager. He and McMillan go together like ham and eggs. . . . McMillan may get No. 1,000 on Friday night in La Ronge against the Ice Wolves. . . . Tim Switzer of the Regina Leader-Post has done up a terrific story on McMillan and all he’s about. It’s well worth the read and it’s right here . . .
As well, Paul Friesen of the Winnipeg Sun takes a look at that city’s decision to bid on playing host to a future World Junior Championship. His piece is here . . . Hockey Canada must be thrilled that so much money is on the line with this event about to be played in Canada with such regularity. . . .
