The Northland's Sports Page, broadcast on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to noon on 106.5FM/AM 560 The Fan, will celebrate its 7th anniversary in November.

"Dave Cook and I have had a blast along with others like Dave Hoops and Steve Pitoscia, who have been regular contributors," said show co-host Brian Prudhomme. "My goal is to always provide the ideal balance of prep, college and professional sports banter for our area, both current and historically speaking. You never know when you might hear from Erik Lofald, Rhett McDonald, Bill Watson or Paul Allen, or all of the above. To me, that’s the beauty of the show. These are two of my favorite hours every week."

Howie: Laura Lee the next television anchor voice of the Northland

You can sense Lee's broadcast discipline the moment the red light clicks on. Her voice carries polish without pretense, her cadence deliberate but not cold. She has that calm, centered presence that suggests she’s not there to perform — she’s there to communicate.

Howie: The Plante pipeline rolls on, with one big question left hanging

Imagine if Max Plante chooses Amsoil Arena for one more winter instead of Grand Rapids. Victor arrives. Zam continues his ascent. And all three Plantes share the same sheet of ice, wearing the same sweater, saluted by the same 6,700 who’ve been following this family saga since pee wees.
