Randy Starkman: Big Heart, Big Results

Kristina Groves | Posted April 17, 2012

Just prior to the Olympics in Vancouver, Randy Starkman wrote an article about me with the headline "Big Heart, Big Results." When I think of Randy and what he meant to me, to Canadian Olympic athletes and to the entire amateur sport community, the one word that comes...

If Every NHL Team Was on The Bachelor(ette)

Kolby Solinsky | Posted September 19, 2011

Well, we're almost at the end of this current season of The Bachelorette and it appears that the NHL may be the only major North American sports league in operation come October.

Therefore, I have an idea.

After 23 years of being alive and bleeding nothing but hockey and...

Letter to Derek Jeter: How About Helping 30,000 Young People?

Edward Jackson | Posted September 14, 2011

Dear Derek,

You have a lot to celebrate.

Your 3,000th hit was a home run that put your team back in the game. Your team went on to win, and you collected four more hits that day, adding an exclamation point to an already remarkable baseball achievement.

And...

O Canada: Anthem Overload

Mike Gallay | Posted August 31, 2011

"Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel." - Samuel Johnson (April 7, 1775)

I had just settled into my seat, a deep purple lumpy thing that soon would have my sciatic nerve twitching. A tub of popcorn braced in my left hand, tilted slightly to the west, that my...

How to Survive Vancouver Stanley Cup Riots: Drinking Beer with Calm Canucks

Kim Mance | Posted August 17, 2011

I finished a quiet dinner in Vancouver's Yaletown neighborhood Wednesday night and began walking back to my downtown hotel. As expected, the city center was crowded with throngs of people wearing Canucks jerseys for game seven of the Stanley Cup hockey final.

I'd heard there might be rioting whether...

Vancouver's Shame

Georgialee Lang | Posted August 16, 2011

A silence hangs over the city of Vancouver this morning. Yesterday's buoyant elevator conversation among strangers wearing blue jerseys has ended.

There is a palpable sense of embarrassment as downtown workers return to the scene of the crime, where the aftermath of last night's riot is evident. Shards of broken...

Old Guys Rule: Experience Powers Bruins and Mavericks to the Top

Edward Jackson | Posted August 16, 2011

In addition to having really tall captains, and superb defensive skills, Stanley Cup champions, the Boston Bruins, and NBA champions, the Dallas Mavericks, have something else in common.

Their veterans came through in the playoffs -- big time.

For the Bruins, forward Mark Recchi recorded a goal or assist...

Hockey as a Brutal Ballet: A Reflection on Our National Game

Hadani Ditmars | Posted August 10, 2011

After Monday night's disastrous Stanley Cup playoff game that saw Boston Bruins forward Nathan Horton blindsided by the Canucks' Aaron Rome, I contemplated the brutal ballet of our 'national game.'

There is a grace to hockey even as there is an undeniable violence; a choreography amidst the chaos. Players, like...

NHL's "Southern Strategy" of Moving Canadian Teams Is a Failure

Bill Mann | Posted August 8, 2011

It may feel like summer in many places, but hockey fever is gripping western Canada. The Vancouver Canucks began their quest for their first-ever Stanley Cup in the club's 40-year existence this week against the Boston Bruins. Meanwhile, to the east, Winnipeg finally got NHL hockey back after 16 years...

Harnessing the Power of Sports for Social Action

Donald Lenihan | Posted August 6, 2011

It's a little disorienting. You think you'll flip on the TV or radio and catch up on politics, but all the usual suspects are suddenly talking sports, from hockey in Winnipeg to soccer in Barcelona.

At one point last week, Peter Mansbridge spent the better part of an hour interviewing...

Unjust Dismissal?... He Says... She Says...

A few weeks back, NHL bad boy Sean Avery was in the news again, not for being an idiot this time, but for something totally unexpected... something "Un-Avery", like. Sean, it seems, had taken up a cause... advocating for gay marriage!

Canucks Give Canada Hope for Cup's Return

Brad Kurtzberg | Posted July 26, 2011

It's been a long time, Canada, 18 years to be exact, since Patrick Roy led the Montreal Canadiens to a Stanley Cup win back in 1993. That means an entire generation of hockey fans have no first hand recollection of a Canadian-based team winning the Stanley Cup.

Hockey is Canada's...
