week.

Johnson, a fourth year Human Kinetics student from Victoria, BC backstopped the X-Women to a pair of playoff victories this past week.

Last Monday, she posted a 4-0 win over Saint Mary’s to clinch that best of 5 semi-final series 3-1 Johnson had 31 saves and was the player of the game.

She followed that up with 20 saves in a 2-1 win Saturday night in Fredericton over UNB in Game One of the AUS Championship series. Johnson had a .917 save percentage and a 1.92 Goals Against Average this past season.

There was no St. FX Male Athlete award this past week, as no X-men teams were in action.

Canadian Radio Awards: 989 XFM Small Market Station of The Year

Broadcast Dialogue has announced the winners of the inaugural Canadian Radio Awards, which we’ve dubbed “The Howards” after our publisher emeritus Howard Christensen.

When Howard, a radio veteran and one of the original Broadcast News anchors, founded Broadcast Dialogue in 1992, he saw a need for both timely delivery of Canadian broadcast industry news, but also recognized the importance of creating a sense of community.

989 XFM is very proud to be the winner of the 2020 Station of Year – Small Market award.
