It’s my Parting Shot for my annual attempt at avoiding buying Christmas cards or sending greetings to my friends in sports through digital means!…

Merry Christmas to the folks at Saskatoon Media Group who allow me to play in the “toy department”…Vic Dubois, Tim Kostiuk, Dave Thomas, Steve Chisholm, Jerad Bowes, Ben Brooks, Drew Wilson, Devin Gregoire and Neil Billinger…and many, many others!

Happy Holidays to the people I closely follow and associate with on the Saskatoon Blades…Mike Priestner, Colin Priestner, Steve Hildebrand, Dan Tencer, Tyler Wawryk, Michael Morrissey, Mitch Love, Ryan Marsh, Ryan Keller, Jerome Engele, Braden Smith, Tim Cheveldae, Brenden Hope, Riley Kosmolak along with all the players and office staff!

Best of the season to the gang with the Saskatoon Hilltops and the U of S football Huskies…Tom Sargeant and all of the coaches and players from the reigning six-time Canadian Bowl-champion Toppers along with Scott Flory and all of his staff and players with the Dogs!

Merry Christmas to my Saskatoon media colleagues…Ryan Flaherty, Derek Bidwell, Darren Zary, Kevin Mitchell, Darren Steinke, Wray Morrison, Jeremy Dodge, Mike Ciona and all who work at the various, quote-unquote, competition!

From my home…my wife Verna and our puppy Jet…Joyeux Noel, Chrystos Rozdyetsia, Merry Christmas. Be forewarned…you’ll hear from me on Friday’s morning sports and from Prince Albert that evening!

That’s my Parting Shot, I’m Les Lazaruk…
