Last night was a milestone moment on GX94 as Benny Walchuk, the voice of the Yorkton Terriers, Melville Millionaires, and Swan Valley Stampeders, called his 800th junior hockey game. Let that sink in for a second—800 games. That’s an incredible number of nights in the rink, countless hours behind the mic, and a whole lot of unforgettable hockey moments shared with listeners across the region.
We all know Benny is one of the best in the business. His passion, knowledge, and unmistakable voice have brought junior hockey to life for years, and this milestone just further cements his legendary status. From regular-season battles to playoff drama, Benny has been there for it all—none more memorable than calling the thrilling National Championship win by the Yorkton Terriers over the Carleton Place Canadians in 2014. A moment that’s etched into local hockey history and one fans will never forget.
So the next time you see Benny—and let’s be honest, it’ll probably be in a rink—make sure to give him a well-deserved pat on the back. Eight hundred games is no small feat, and junior hockey in this area is better because of him.
Congratulations, Benny! Here’s to many more calls and memories ahead.
