HOTSEAT continued from page 33
Randy Lee is really versed on the new players that have been drafted by the Senators, and he talks about who to watch and what to expect. He also looks after the salary cap situation, and does a lot of juggling to have these players on the ice. My very last Hotseat was
picture taken with Lord Stanley’s Cup. At least 400 people paid a small fee to Make a Wish to have that memory. Longtime friend, Leon Switzer of Total Photo (
www.totalphoto.ca), took the shots. Over the last few years, I have
had the opportunity to befriend Senators’ General Manager

Brian Murray and head of player development, Randy Lee. The two of them have provided some great guests and awesome conversations. I just love the way Brian and Randy don’t mind telling it like it is. When a player is not playing well, Brian is not afraid to tell the truth and usually follows through with action.

supposed to be on Good Friday this year. But I was asked to do one more on April 26. It was an honour to have in attendance Rachel Homan − the current Canadian Women’s curling Champion and world bronze medalist − and her team. The women were outstanding. They were a lot of fun and passed along some great curling knowledge. I can tell you there were people there who are going to take up this interesting team sport because of their attendance. All in all, my 21 years of
being the host of the Hotseat at the Kanata Sports Club has been a wonderful experience for me, from doing interviews with these stars to learning a lot as well. I am grateful to the
management of the sports club, starting with Lorne Weatherall, the current president, for allowing me to gain that knowledge and have a hell of a lot of fun at the same time. I am also grateful to Liam
McGuire, who would fill in as a host when I was away. He always provided great guests. I did some math since Wayne
Pilon and I had that talk. It looks as though I have had approximately 420 Caesars at 12 noon on Friday for the last 21 years from November until April; and − the really scary part − about 1680 draft beers. And I’m still around to talk about it. The Kanata Sports Club will
remain my favourite watering hole for many years to come, as I give back to them for allowing me the honour of hosting the Hotseat for the past 21 years.
