I was groggy and I then I heard ‘This is Rejean Oooilllll’

Name: Shawn Jerome Pittman                            



Born: Gander, Newfoundland Labrador
Age: 25 (on Valentine’s Day)
Program: Sports Journalism

Shawn Pittman is a 2009 graduate of Loyalist’s Broadcast Journalism program. He interned at KIX.106 FM radio in Peace River, Alberta, in the spring of 2009, and is now enrolled in Loyalist’s one-year, post-grad Sports Journalism program.

Born and raised in Newfoundland Labrador, Shawn decided to do one of his reporting assignments on the Montreal Canadiens and admits he was a bit nervous interviewing a couple of former Habs’ greats.


We’ll let Shawn tell the story in his own words:

“For my profile assignment, I set up some pretty solid interviews. First, I e-mailed Rejean Houle. He’s a former Montreal Canadiens who’s now the team ambassador and head of its Alumni Association. He called me back during fall study week. So I was sleeping in and his phone call woke me up. I was groggy and then I heard ‘This is Rejean Oooilllll’. I set up an interview with him for later on and he helped me set up a phone interview with Jean Béliveau for about a week later.

A day off? Not for Dalliday

A big shout out to Pete Dalliday who called his 1,000th consecutive hockey game as the play-by-play voice of the OHL’s Peterborough Petes on Nov. 30 in Saginaw.

Pete called his first game for The Kruz when it was still on the AM dial back on September 19. 1996.
