That ‘something’ was the Gamechanger livestream of the U13 AA championship final up in Saskatoon, as the Moose Jaw Ice took on the Regina Fighting Saints for provincial gold. During the Softball Sask U15 AA provincial championship final at Optimist Park back on Sunday, July 16, a group of parents were huddled around a table keeping tabs on something that was happening on a smartphone.
