Tickets are going fast for the annual Weyburn Red Wings Sportsman Dinner. The expectation is for this year’s event to be the biggest and best ever.
The Sportsman Dinner will be held in a new venue at the Cugnet Centre on Saturday, Feb. 6. Myrna McFadden will be providing a gourmet meal for the evening.
“With the new venue and the quality of our speakers, this event will be one you won’t want to miss,” said Tyler Wawryk, office and marketing manager of the Red Wings.
Headlining the event will be Paul Coffey, who is a Hall Of Fame NHL defenseman. The 54-year-old is best known for his speed and scoring ability, ranking second in all time scoring by a defenseman.
Coffey racked up the hardware during his career, winning three Norris trophies and four Stanley Cups. Through 20 seasons in the NHL, Coffey played for nine different teams.
Co-headlining the event is Gregg Zaun, the Manalyst. He is a TV star of Blue Jays Central on Sportsnet and will provide an inside look and behind the scenes stories from the Blue Jays’ historical season this past year.
Zaun will speak about his 15-year baseball career in the major leagues, including being a part of the Florida Marlins World Series Championship team in 1997.
Clayton Kroeker of the 92.9 The Bull FM in Saskatoon will emcee the Sportsman Dinner.
Single admission is $100, and corporate tables are $1,000 (eight seats with complimentary wine, closer to main stage).
Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the supper starts at 7:30 p.m. A program featuring the headliners will follow the supper.
Also during the evening, there will be silent and live auctions available. These auctions will feature sports memorabilia, NHL game tickets, a Northern fishing trip and much more.
