Purple Wall Thinking

The Final Stand or the Finest Hour...

Hello everyone!

The Stratford Cullitons host the Listowel Cyclones in Game Seven of their quarterfinals tilt tonight at the Allman Arena.

This one is for all the marbles.

The winner goes on to face Guelph. The loser goes home empty-handed.

The series has been an unbelievable rollercoaster ride and we're going to see it through to the end. 1240 CJCS will carry tonight's hockey game live starting at 7:25pm.

If you want to go watch the game, the Allman Arena Box Office opens at 4:00pm today (Monday) for ticket sales.

This is one game you don't want to miss. Is this the Cullitons' last stand? Or will it be their finest hour? I choose the latter. See you there tonight!

Winner and New Champion...

Hello!

Tyler McWatters is the new voice of the Stratford Cullitons. He won our "So You Think You're A Sports Broadcaster" competition.

He'll debut tomorrow (Sunday) night when the Cullies take on the Elmira SugarKings.

So, a big shout out to Tyler for his victory.

His two opponents, Bryan Thiel and Stan Temming will be back-ups this year. Local hockey fans have not heard the last from either of them.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this contest with their demo reels or even just with their feedback.

You're in for a great hockey season. Cheers!
