Zaun, a former Blue Jays catcher during his playing days, opened up during a podcast appearance this week about his unceremonious departure, including about the allegations made against him and how greatly they have affected him personally and professionally. 'I definitely made mistakes. I let celebrity get in my head,' Zaun said during Monday's episode of the Toronto Legends podcast. 'I was never as famous in Canada as a player as I was as a broadcaster. I mean, I couldn't walk down the street. 'My life was turned upside down, ruined. My professional career, ruined,' he added. 'I can't get a job in television. There's not a lot of forgiveness for people that look like me in this world. And it's my fault. It's absolutely my fault.' Essential reading for hockey fans who eat, sleep, Canucks, repeat.

While Zaun said that he was 'shocked' by the allegations, he also held himself accountable for letting things get too far. 'There are certain topics of conversation that don't belong in the workplace. And it's funny, the biggest mistake that I've made is thinking that because a lot of the conversations and exchanges were initiated by females in the workplace that they were somehow OK. That I was somehow justified in participating in those conversations. The tomfoolery, the hijinks. These allegations, they were shocking to me,' Zaun said. 'I was just having fun with willing participants. Yeah, the environment was inappropriate. It was my fault for letting it get as far as it did. I should have been classier and I definitely should be held to a higher level of accountability,' he added. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Several anonymous Sportsnet employees previously told the Canadian Press that Zaun had made sexual comments 'with the clear intention of making us uncomfortable.' During the podcast interview, Zaun said that the network pushed him to become a 'Manalyst,' which he described as the 'Don Cherry of baseball.' 'Sportsnet created that 'Manalyst' guy. They wanted 'Don Cherry of baseball,' so I gave it to them,' Zaun said. But Zaun says he's capable of more than that sort of role. Read More 'People misunderstand or underestimate my versatility. I can be whatever you want me to be. You want me to be the loud guy. You want me to cause a ruckus. You want me to polarize the fan base. I can do that,' Zaun said. 'Do you want me to just be quiet and go put my head down and be a soldier, and accomplish a list of tasks that you want from me? I can do that too. It's just easier to blame my past transgressions, my past mistakes, as the reason why you don't want to have a conversation.' Zaun, who currently lives in B.C. after splitting with his third wife, says that he has been sober for two years and hopes to get a second chance in the sport he loves – be it in broadcasting or as a coach.

Kids honour tradition at Alberta Indigenous Games with hand game tournament
The Alberta Indigenous Games continue in Edmonton this week with thousands of kids taking part in sports across the city. Marek Tkach has the story. Dozens of children were at the Alberta Indigenous Games (AIG) Tuesday, competing in a traditional game that is not often heard of in traditional sports tournaments: hand game. Traditionally a Dene game, the hand game is a guessing game where individual players or teams of players hide objects in one of their hands. The other team guesses which hand the object is in to score points, which can be stolen. Caroline Isadore, Driftpile Cree Nation councillor and AIG hand game organizer said she brought the game to the tournament six years ago where only a couple of teams competed. Now there are a dozen teams with six to seven people playing. 'Hand game is something our ancestors, first peoples of the land, did,' said Isadore. 'It is a way of bartering … Our livelihood, our sustainability as a first people, we would do a cultural event to be able to gather for sustainability and barter.' Isadore said the Dene people of South Tallcree blessed Driftpile Cree Nation with the hand game, giving it to them to share. And now kids from all over Alberta are playing. In the Whati area in the Northwest Territories, only men are allowed to play the game. But down south, women are starting to play. Tanya Noskey, a 10-year-old hand game player was at the AIG Tuesday competing. 'Girls are better at handgames than boys,' she told CTV News Edmonton. The AIG wraps up Saturday with baseball, volleyball, archery and lacrosse finals. With files from CTV News Edmonton's Marek Tkach
