Mr. Hanson shot these in the Lunenburg area. Three rare Trumpeter Swans that were swimming in theContinue Reading
So I watched The Bells. Frankly it’s been the best episode of this last season. Even though it fails in so many ways; it was engrossing. They really needed at least eight episodes this season. While I get budget and logistic challenges; we simply needed more of the stories fleshedContinue Reading
This has been a busy week with Christians getting ready to celebrate Easter and our Jewish Friends celebrating Passover. Stores had been stocked for many weeks with Easter eggs and bunnies – all ready for our Easter Bunny to deliver. Exciting morning for kids. I remember years ago when IContinue Reading
My boy Mitch Marner showed no signs of pressure in the Leafs 4-1 win in Boston. He scored 2 goals( one by penalty shot while the Leafs were short handed) and even laid on some meat. The Leafs were flying and using their depth speed to put pressure on theContinue Reading
It’s that time again! First night of the race to Lord Stanley’s Cup. The lightweights have been separated by those that truly want to win and the hopefuls get to do their best against the real contenders. The old cliche about making the playoffs and anything happening really isn’t true.Continue Reading
Yes, I’d love to play poker with our Prime Minister any day. Although much younger, I probably would be fine boxing a round or two with him as well because my grandfather, who was a prize fighter in the 1929’s, when you only got paid if you won, taught meContinue Reading
In this cap age of hockey a team must be aware of its asset management or it ends up like Detroit or Chicago, or sadly, Los Angeles. Going nowhere for the hope of a shot. In the Habs case it’s really bewildering as it’s core has not improved this seasonContinue Reading

When you have to face a decision too many pet owners deal with the last thing you want to do is worry about cost or questions about whether you’re a regular customer of a vet clinic. Yet that was exactly what happened to this writer when my beloved cat SamContinue Reading
For some reason this Winter has been the worst I’ve seen in Cornwall since moving here in February of 2004. Not the weather, but City Works lack of clearing snow. But thank goodness the city found that extra $300K to waste a year doing an architectural study for its veryContinue Reading

You have to give SJ forward Evander Kane credit for taking a run at Zdeno Chara. Even at the ripe old age of 41 Chara can still handle himself as he demolished the much younger Kane quickly. The fight highlighted how today’s NHL is rapidly becoming a mix of pinballContinue Reading
It’s amazing, some of the candid shots that Calvin Hanson captures through the lens of his camera! When I first saw the animal it was swimming in the open water, and it did not have a fish. It disappeared in the water and made an appearance about 4 minutes later,Continue Reading
It’s been a busy trade deadline in some ways. Ottawa was facing the biggest challenge. Out were Duchene, Stone, and Dzingel. Duchene was a disastrous mistake last year. Stone simply wasn’t going to resign with the Sens and Dzingel was a sell high situation. And the Sens needed to fillContinue Reading
I know crazy. While there’s some play off fever going on in la belle province the best situation that’s evolved this season is the recovery of high priced Goalie Carey Price. The man has value even with his contract, heck if LV can give a 30+ goalie in Marc AndreContinue Reading
These snowy days remind me of the winters we had when we were kids. I can’t remember too many days though that the schools were closed unless it was a very big storm. Bet we would have liked that. We walked back and forth to school and attended from 9Continue Reading

It’s fascinating watching the NHL catch up in the cap age. Contract wise agents and GM’s are focusing on new tangents which make sense for both parties. Right now the buzz is over Leaf highly overrated centre Auston Matthews. In this writer’s opinion until you’ve done it in the playoffsContinue Reading
