Dan Kinvig, communications coordinator for UFV Athletics, usually has one main job on Cascades game days: get the word out to media about the results from UFV’s various athletic teams.
But this past Saturday, Nov. 12, he faced a dilemma: four Cascades teams were playing, and his wife Danielle was in labour with their third child.
Dan knew where he had to be: by his wife’s side in the hospital. But he also knew that those game stories needed to be filed, for all Cascade teams in action that night. Luckily, the coaches cooperated, texting him quotes and statistics.
Baby Boaz Daniel Kinvig was born at 9:48 pm, weighing 8 lb, 4 oz.
After the initial elation, and while mother and baby slept, Dan got to work filing the four post-game summary stories from his laptop at Abbotsford Regional Hospital.
Siblings Cadence, 5, and Caleb, almost 3, are happy to welcome baby Boaz to Team Kinvig.
