Secular Sunday – He/Him Is Risen

It is absolutely [chef’s kiss.gif] that this writer for Briarpatch chooses to announce they are trans, their name is now Alex, and they are using he/him pronouns while using #HeIsRisen as a hashtag on Easter Sunday.

Long time Birrellheads may have noticed that my byline has changed. This is because I'm trans! I'm using he/him pronouns & the name Alex. This is a very exciting time for me & I'm extremely happy to be starting the process of making the change publicly & professionally #HeIsRisen pic.twitter.com/krDkD08ttl

Heading to the airport in the middle of the night as Pace is leaving for a 10 day Educational Foundations (EF) tour through school. Hard to believe the day has arrived!

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – The Greatest Saskatoon Blade of All-Time (March 2015)

Sasha and I got to meet Wendel Clark at “Hometown Hockey” in Regina back in 2015. (Even had a funny exchange with a hero from my childhood.)

Kinda funny that his junior numbers weren’t amazing (he’s no Connor Bedard, that’s for sure!) but I suspect it was actually his PIM which helped him go first overall in the 1985 draft in what was a very different era of hockey!

Connor Bedard Is Having An All-Time Season

This article is from mid-March but it’s still amazing how dominant Connor Bedard has been and what a privilege it’s been that he’s playing in Regina so I’ve been able to see him play a few times.

Draft-eligible seasons:

• McDavid (47GP) – 44G, 120PTS
• Bedard (47GP) – 59G, 123PTS

He’s 7 months younger. He doesn’t have the same level of mates.

It’s damn impressive.
