I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it. Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words.

A really nice moment here. Bosnia and Herzegovina fans get caught up in the middle of Canada’s March to the Match. And they’re being met with high fives as they pass through the sea of red.

I'm conducting a survey on coaching to understand what makes a good coach and to learn from people's experience. If you could take a minute and fill this out if you are either a coach or athlete/performer, that'd be great. It's not limited to sport: forms.gle/Zr5kR2MewgGMR1G68

Coaching Survey

Thanks so much. I'm researching coaching philosophies/behaviors and how our conventional wisdom aligns with people's real world experience. And to see where their are gaps in the field This isn't...

Congratulations to Antigonish, Nova Scotia native and standout goaltender Rhyah Stewart on winning an NCAA Division I National Championship with the Wisconsin Badgers. An incredible accomplishment for Stewart and a proud moment for her hometown, as she reaches the top of collegiate hockey on one of the game’s biggest stages.🏆

Hockey is the sport where every mom and dad spent every weekend getting up at 5am to load the family vehicle in 16 below weather and drive to some rink somewhere for practice. An 8am gold medal game sounds like a vacation.

Regardless, hockey is 🇨🇦’s game. My 1st child was due Dec 26, 2009. Every 🇺🇸: “Have her before Jan 1 for tax write off.” Every 🇨🇦: “Do NOT have that baby before Jan 1. Needs good hockey bday. 🇺🇸’❤️ of NFL+NBA+MLB +NHL = 🇨🇦’❤️ of hockey.

What @nickbaumgartner is able to do at any age is amazing, let alone at age 44. What you may not know is that he was D1 wrestler at Michigan State. I’d love to see a story on that…
