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 […]

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. I found two pendants on Facebook Marketplace that were part of a larger series for Cup-winning teams. These happen to be two of my favourite teams – the […]

Music Monday – Rush E

My daughter told me about this song which is apparently the hardest piano song in the world and impossible for a human to play (although the one video below claims to do it).

Friday Fun Link – The Only Good Thing To Come Out of NHL Trade Day For The Calgary Flames

Saturday Snap – Pretty Good Spot for @Frost_ReginaSK Fireworks!

Pace has been working at some Pats’ games to earn money for a school trip. We signed him up for the Saturday game not thinking that it would be Frost Festival at REAL but luckily I popped into the Exhibition Grounds on Friday night on the way to supper with some friends and realised that […]

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, […]

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 […]
