Fast paced and violent

Last night, the Outlook Ice Hawks played a close game to long time SVHL rivals the Conquest Merchants.  Some good skating in a real back and forth tight game.  The only slow down came in the second period.  A Conquest player did his job and finished a check on his man while going for the [...]

Canadian Football League
It was a long time coming.
History was made today.
You can use any cliche in the book you want, but the end result is still the same.  Darian Durant and the Saskatchewan Roughriders now get a two week rest before the West Division Final on the road to the Grey Cup.  They got there [...]

Crosby in a new picture

That was last year.  The Pittsburgh Penguins lose in game 6 to Detroit, and watch in their own rink, as the Red Wings hoist the Stanley Cup in celebration.  Crosby said he never wanted to be in that picture again.

Tradin’ Day: I Been Everywhere

Just like in the promo ads that were on TSN, the song I’ve Been Everywhere came to mind as the trading deadline in the National Hockey League kept creeping forward.  A few moves were made, but as the user poll suggested, the Calgary Flames posted the biggest gains, picking up a few players and some [...]
