A tip of the cap to the Regina Pats for a terrific marketing move for Sunday’s game against the visiting
Seattle Thunderbirds. . . . Seattle’s roster includes D Ethan Bear, who is from the Ochapowace First Nation that is located just east of Regina. . . . Knowing that Bear was coming home, the Pats held First Nations and Metis Awareness Night and attracted their first sellout (6,484) of the season to the Brandt Centre. . . . The crowd, many of whom were there to see Bear, got its money worth, too, as he had had a goal and two assists, although the Pats won the game, 6-3, with two empty-netters. . . . "It's something I'll remember for the rest of my life," Bear told Greg Harder of the Regina Leader-Post. "I'm not sure if I'll ever get anything like that again but that's the support I get (from home). The way our culture supports one another is amazing. I'm very proud of that. I'm happy I was able to get one tonight and let them cheer for me. It was a very special moment.” . . . Harder’s story is right here.
