Steinke has been a well-known face in the newsroom and on TV for over 30 years, co-anchoring and anchoring the evening news. An award-winning journalist and best-selling author, Saturday’s honour is sure to be another story for the books.

Steinke took to the field during a timeout to receive an honourary jersey signed by the team during Saturday’s game against the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
