Ed Bobiash is a long time season season ticket holder and member of the Booster Club who rarely misses coming to games with his daughters, Tamara and Larissa. As a group they are also champions in the community for the Blades organization in the way they support, promote and care about the Blades. Ed’s real estate business is a constant supporter, donating time and energy to our REMAX sponsored Paw Patrol night as well as a steady sponsor of our game production on CJWW. Between them, the Bobiash family made it to 16 playoff games this season, including travelling to games in Regina, Red Deer, and Winnipeg to support the Blue and Gold. While it is always tough to choose one recipient for Fan of the Year, our organization believes that fans like Ed, Tamara and Larissa are what makes our Blades community so rewarding.
