DV et al.
Thanks a ton for including some of the masters matches in the webcasting. I wish I would have known before (I should have checked the schedule) and I would have had my kids and the Edmonton handball guys tune in! Fantastic job as usual with commentating and the camera coverage. A big thank you for all you and the WPH staff do!
