We started off the morning celebrating a local celebrity/hero (he would totally shake his head at me for typing that because he's a modest guy).  However, Tom Kowal is loved by his fellow High River friends and neighbours.  And TONIGHT he's celebrating 1000 games as a referee in the NHL.  That's a really big deal!  Only a handful of other men have accomplished this over the years.

The game is Calgary vs Nashville and will be fun!  George Canyon is singing the national anthem so it's a real family affair.  Way to go Tom!  And thanks to you and your whole family for being such amazing community members.

Also on the show Red Deer country artist Alecia Aichelle popped in.

Alecia Aichelle and Jody Seeley

She's nominated for Album of the Year for the ACMA's this weekend.  Her album Golden came out last May.  She's also got a new song out to country radio called 'What It Wasn't.'  She joins us on Made in Alberta this weekend to share what her new song is about.

Good luck this weekend Alecia!
