Time flies when you are flying all over Niagara in the name of local sports coverage.

BP Sports Niagara celebrates its seventh anniversary this week of bringing local sports news to the citizens of Niagara. Since our launch, we have attracted more than 1,161,000 million unique visitors to our site and have recorded an impressive 3.5 million pages views. We have produced 6,300 stories and have over 20,000 pictures in our photo library.

To help us continue to provide this worthwhile service, please Hit the Support Us button on our website or join the many other businesses who choose to spent their advertising dollars supporting local journalism all the while getting great bang for their advertising buck. All funds generated by our site will be used to support our “Boots on the ground” editorial coverage.

Thanks to our families for believing in us and all those who have supported our site. Without that support, we wouldn’t exist.

Bill Potrecz, a Welland Notre Dame and Niagara College graduate, spent 32 years as a sportswriter at The Standard covering almost every sport imaginable from high school, to junior hockey, to a World Series and Stanley Cup final. He took a voluntary buyout from the St. Catharines Standard in early 2017. By his estimation he has covered more than 1,500 junior hockey games. His passion is baseball but hockey is a close second. His guilty pleasure is professional wrestling, specifically the glory years of the National Wrestling Alliance.
