It was a special day for all involved with the Newfoundland Regiment, as the newest QMJHL franchise won its home opener with a thrilling 7-5 victory over the defending champion Moncton Wildcats.
But for 17-year-old broadcaster Seth Hyde, the day managed to be even more special, as his mom took home the $37,000 50/50 jackpot.
Hyde was able to share this moment caught in the broadcast booth with co-commentator Brian Rogers.
At just 17, the Newfoundland broadcaster is definitely the youngest in the league, being younger than a majority of the teenagers taking the ice.
Hyde will be back in the booth tonight as the Regiment and Wildcats battle in the second leg of their back-to-back to open the season.
