NHL player-turned-broadcaster Colby Armstrong (left in photo) is the guest speaker for the 2016 Telus Cup West banquet, presented by Co-op, on April 2 at the Hilton Garden Inn.

A feisty competitor, Armstrong is also known for his colorful personality and a unique vocabulary which has inspired a T-shirt or two. (Exhibit A: The “Half clapper, top cheddar” shirt which was born in 2011 after a guest appearance on the TSN panel.)

Armstrong grew up in the Saskatoon Redwings zone. He went on to play midget AAA with the Saskatoon Blazers before graduating to the WHL where he won the 2001 Memorial Cup with the Red Deer Rebels. The 6-foot-3 winger went on to play 12 professional seasons including time with the Pittsburgh Penguins, Atlanta Thrashers, Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens, as well as Vaxjo HC of the Swedish Hockey League.

Armstrong also represented Canada at the 2007 IIHF world championship in Moscow, netting the game-winning goal in the gold-medal game against Finland.

Since retiring after the 2013-14 season, Armstrong has become a regular member of the Rogers Sportsnet hockey panel.

Tickets for the Telus Cup West banquet are available for $40 each. Tables of eight can also be purchased. To reserve your tickets, e-mail [email protected] or call (306) 251-2933.

February 8, 2016

SASKATOON – The host organizing committee for the upcoming Telus Cup West Regional tournament is proud to make a legacy donation today to the Kinsmen Hockey League.

Recognizing the need for helmets in the 16-team league, the organizing committee is using a portion of tournament revenue to purchase and donate 240 helmets to the hockey league for core community elementary students.

“This donation is absolutely huge for our league,” said KHL president Bob Fawcett. “Helmets are the most important piece of equipment and to be able to outfit these kids with new, proper fitting helmets means so much for the safety of our league.”

The 16 players from the St. John School team in the Kinsmen Hockey League received their new helmets today – and enjoyed the rare opportunity to practise with players from the Saskatoon Contacts, the host team for the Telus Cup West Regional.

The organizing committee thanks Bauer and Al Anderson’s Source for Sports for helping with the purchase and delivery of the helmets.

The Telus Cup West Regional starts March 31. Tournament passes and more information at www.teluscupwest.ca.
