It has been a long and interesting journey for Dean DeSilva.

"I've been involved in hockey my entire life," DeSilva said. "I've been skating since I was two years old. I've been playing since I was six years old. But I've never worked a day in hockey because if you love what you do it's not work.

After getting hot on Tuesday in a 12-3 win over Moose Jaw, Regina silenced their hitters last night.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders went undefeated in the month of June, sitting 4-0 entering their first bye week of the season here in early July.

The East Central Red Sox walked away from Regina with a split in their doubleheader with the White Sox.
