BCHL game #483 came as a bit of a surprise, but it was an easy one to call. Fingers crossed my return from retirement is short-lived.

You know it's @harboursidefc broadcast season when I'm breaking out multiple VLOOKUPs in a cell to build a spotting board. New this year is a better game logger to track key stats and have them update easily. https://t.co/NTo6kLfgqT
I had so much fun back on the air with @harboursidefc on Saturday. Games broadcast on Rogers and streamed via @League1BC YouTube. It's a great atmosphere and both the men and women delivered with quality play.
Tight at the top. 👀 The Men's Division is poised nicely for Matchweek 3️⃣, with @harboursidefc marginally leading the standings. #L1BC https://t.co/9LEf5SENFG
