Merry Christmas From The Sportswave Team

As the calendar year comes to and end the Sportswave Team wishes to send special thanks to everyone who made 2024 so memorable for us to cover.

In the world of sport it seems that one season ends and the next begins that has “high and lows” for everyone playing, coaching, officiating or “stepping-up” as one of the many Volunteers.

These are the individuals who give so unselfishly of their time to help grow the sport that they have a  passion for which becomes a legacy for their Family to enjoy.

When we reflect on the sports world it holds no age or race agenda taking away any frustration that you may have had through the day, week or month.

Growing up as a youngster you rely on your parents to be the “back-bone” of your Family for support for your values.

Often due to the busy world we live in you reach out to those you have come close to such as just possibly a neighbour in your area who is more than willing to help when the chance arises.

You manage to advance your career reaching your goal and those I have spoken with are quick to remember the name(s) of  someone who helped them out and while it sounds strange they often remember someone in the early part of their long arduous career.

So giving is more than getting it shows and  reflects on the type of individual you will become when your career slows to a halt and you can no longer be active as a player.

This is when you remember those who helped you when you started out and now it’s your turn to give back to the “kids” who are like a sponge and absorb every word you tell them.

Over the years we have had the  chance to cover various sports and I simply could not do this alone as I have an exceptional group of ‘team-mates who help out as if covering a C’s game “stepping up to the plate” scoring the winning run.

This past year I am fortunate to work alongside Eastlink TV’s Kevin Adlem as we attend events hosted by the City of Delta, Kid Sport Delta, the Delta Chamber of Commerce as well as the Delta Sports Hall of Fame.

I am fortunate to have Laird Allan, Mark Steffens and Wes Shaw capture you playing your game with first class photos.

Joining the “team” this past year is Jagraj Lalli a recent BCIT student who has come on board having a strong passion to grow the Amateur side of sports who has been a welcome addition to the team.

These are only some of the events that we cover and in addition we are fortunate to have a close relationship with Carla Qualtrough, Canada’s Minister of Sport and Physical Advocacy, Ravi Kahlon, BC’s Housing Minister as well as Ian Paton, BC’s Provincial Conservative Member. 

Lastly we have a strong commitment to working with the City of Delta who have a commitment to promote sport to the City.

We want to take the time to thank everyone who has stepped up to make SPORTSWAVE such a success over the years and thank everyone for your time.

If you have an event you would like Sportswave to cover or “live stream” reach out!!

On behalf of the Sportswave Team Have a Happy and Safe Holiday season and think of those less fortunate as others.

Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year!!
