Friday Fun Link – The New Slogan Is Working! AEW Is Coming To The City That Rhymes With Fun

Okay, I’m pretty sure the dates announces for the Canadian Tour predates the “Experience Regina” rebrand.  But who cares because I’ve got tickets and am going!  Plus it’s apparently going to be a TV taping, possibly for a brand new AEW show. As a teaser, here’s some highlights from an amazing match AEW showed on […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Flames and Isles (1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1989)

A bit of a different Throwback Thursday post today as it’s not an actual old photo. Instead, it represents some fond memories from a long time ago.

Friday Fun Link – How To Take Sports Less Seriously

I’ve always followed sports and played a lot of different ones in my younger days (not so much these days as Shea said she’d divorce me if I started keeping hockey equipment in the house ever again!) but I don’t think I’ve ever been fanatical in following sports to an unhealthy degree. With that said, […]

Friday Fun Link – How Every NHL Team Was Named

Saturday Snap – Free Food Family (Thanks @TheCDNBrewhouse)

Got a surprise call at work from Great Canadian Brewhouse East who have a weekly promotion where they deliver pizza to a random nearby business or organization for Free Friday Lunch. Delicious and a great way to end the week!  (I wonder how many businesses they deliver to end up even sharing with a couple […]
