Ethan Anstey is a Fort McMurray Oil Baron no more.

Like every other hockey player who hit the ice last season, Logan Cunningham’s season was very short because of Covid-19.

One of the most impressive things over the past few years — at least to me — is the amount of young hockey players who have been given the chance to head south and get a shot.

Five Kivalliq cousins are heading south to play for the same Manitoba-based AAA hockey team this season.

Have you done the Milk Crate Challenge yet? I know I haven’t and if I catch my oldest offspring doing it, she’ll have some ‘splanin to do in addition to losing her phone.

Ah, the good ol’ days. Remember those? Those days when Michael Gilday was doing the North proud on the ice? Iqaluit trying to claim him as one of their own (technically they could because he was born there in the pre-Iqaluit, Nunavut days of Frobisher Bay, NWT)?
