Over the weekend, I did my 99th play-by-play amateur hockey broadcast, and the PA announcer (a gentleman named Rick Chin) got wind of the information and did an announcement before the game, saying, “We’d like to acknowledge Mr. K.P. Wee’s 99th career broadcast in amateur hockey!”

I did not expect that acknowledgement, but it’s one of those things that cheer me up.

I can think back to the times when I would take Uber/Lyft to get to work early (non-hockey work) but not get acknowledged or be thanked. I would be saying that I wanted people to come and talk to me and tell me a joke or story to pump me up, but I would get ignored.

So, I’m definitely appreciative of the acknowledgement received at the rink. It’s a small gesture, but I appreciated it very much. Very cool.
