“Heels” Trailer

I find it hilarious that my wife wasn’t going to watch this wrestling-based TV series until Ben Mulroney of all people recommended it on the CTV Morning News! (Of course I also find it funny that Ben Mulroney is recommending this behind-the-scenes wrestling show which has lots of violence – as you’d expect – and […]

Friday Fun Link – The Role of the Crowd in Pro Wrestling

Love the way the crowd is an active participant in these two recent clips from AEW.  Even if you don’t know the wrestlers or the storylines and back story to these clips, you can’t help but feel the energy… CM Punk Debuts After Seven Years Away From Wrestling: Bryan Danielson Challenges Kenny Omega:

A Few Highlights From CWE “Cruel Summer” Wrestling Show in Weyburn, SK

Took Pace and his cousin to a wrestling show in Weyburn last Saturday and it was a blast bringing back fond memories of my dad taking me to a handful of Stampede Wrestling shows in Regina and Fort Qu’Appelle and even a few shows in my own hometown of Indian Head. A few highlights… 1. […]

What’s The Easiest (and Hardest) Olympic Gold Medals To Win?

With the Summer Olympics on, I can’t be the only person with this question. (Of course, I broke my wrist going off a bike jump a couple years ago and broke my leg playing beer league hockey about a decade ago.  So maybe sports dominance isn’t in my future, no matter how “easy” the sport?)

Music Monday – “Walking through town is quite scary/It’s not very sensible either/A friend of a friend he got beaten/He looked the wrong way at a policeman”

This song has been going through my head all day for some reason.  (In completely unrelated news, Go Habs Go!)   “I Predict A Riot” – Kaiser Chiefs

Music Monday – “Whereas some of us weren’t always fair/To the Native kid on borrowed skates/Chippy Goolies and Ukrainians/In the corners with our elbows up”

Goolie was originally a derogatory term referring to people of Icelandic descent who settled in Manitoba. The derivation of the word remains a mystery. The most plausible origin I encountered while researching When Falcons Fly was that the first Icelandic settlers had thick Norse accents and pronounced the word “goalie” as “goolie.” Interestingly, the word […]

Legends of Hockey: The New York Islanders

When I started following hockey as a young kid around the age seven or eight, the Islanders were the best team in the league. (Interestingly, I clearly remember friends who cheered for Boston, Toronto, Montreal, Chicago, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Philadephia but no one else seemed to have latched on to the Islanders which is another reason […]
