Looking at the title of this blog post, I may have lead some of you astray. If this post was really the “best” then I wouldn’t have titled it in a questioning manner. Rather, I would have come out confidently and titled this post “The Best Blog Post Ever”. The fact that I wasn’t too…
At the start of the shortened NHL season I participated for the first time in a fantasy sports league with my friends. Before, the term ‘fantasy sports’ left me with an “unimpressed” and “lame” attitude towards the whole idea. Maybe its because the term ‘fantasy’ left negative connotations with me, especially since playing sports is…
The world really is a wonderful place, and although we do fall in the nasty habit of tearing it apart, on the whole the beauty of the Earth has been preserved. Although the media and environmental activists do a good job of portraying the opposite (and rightly so, for we do have to become more…
This past Wednesday I had the privilege in attending We Day. It truly was a great experience as it packed in as much inspiration one could into one day. We day was about engaging highly motivated youth so that together, the children of today can be leaders in the present. We have all heard the…

Today I’m going to talk about one of the most popular, influential and well-known sport teams in Calgary. That’s right, I’m talking about the Calgary Vipers. Now the fact that my first sentence is very ironic is sad because it displays a lack of awareness for Calgary’s very own baseball team. Many Calgarians know every…
Now that we are a couple of weeks into the new year, I think it’s time to make some predictions into what the new year will hold, and see what we have left behind in 2011. The video shown below is a Google Production which they usually do to recap what the year has been…
Any hockey fan, or anyone living in Canada, for that matter, can relate to that memorable Tuesday night where they watched in despair for 40 minutes, lived through 15 minutes of hope…
With more updates coming in by the day, we can see a very nice and fitting end to the NBA lockout! Teams can now hold informal training, practice sessions, and managers can now start working on the financial side of the game (contracts, deals, etc.).
