Just got back from the Gallagher Centre where my son was at his speed swimming session. I spent most of the time in the lobby visiting and sipping a coffee, but I watched a lot of parents try unsuccessfully to get into the pool area because every single door is locked. Why is this? If the powers that be are worried about people sneaking in and catching a free swim, could I suggest a wrist band for those that pay? I thought this was the case already though. It's extremely frustrating for parents who need to get into the pool area to attend to their kids, but can't. I don't blame the folks at the kiosk as that door really should be locked. It leads into the locker room area. But, the front doors should be open, and maybe staffed by someone if the concerns about folks sneaking in to swim are serious.
I was in Melville last night for the SJHL Game Of The Week on Access 7. It was my second trip in as many weeks and both times the scoreboard died on the side facing the player benches. It's a good thing the city is building a new rink. It can't be ready soon enough with the bad scoreboard and some other factors that have come into play lately which may be affecting the players a bit. Melville Stadium's life span has pretty much expired!
The game last night was a good one. All three that we've done on television so far have been excellent. The Mils fell behind early, but looked to take over after going ahead 4-2. Nipawin scored a shorthanded goal to make it a nail biter right down to the final buzzer. The previous night, Yorkton stormed back from 3-1 down against Kindersley to win.
I'm not sure why, but there have been a ton of goals scored through the first week of the SJHL season. La Ronge has three players averaging almost three points a game and Brayden Metz put up two goals and three assists in last night's Melville victory. Joel Danyluk was the SJHL Goalie Of The Week last week and he allowed seven goals in two games.
