Darren Eliot of Sports Illustrated, on the new book Hockey Stories & Stuff by Don Cherry and Al Strachan: The pair did make a conscious effort to clean up any profanity so the read would be kid-appropriate, but that doesn’t mean this book is for everyone. English professors might want to avoid it. Same thing for anyone who is offended by violence in sports, or those of you out there who have a dim...

Lately, there’s been a lot of talk about how to protect NHL players. Two weeks ago, Don Cherry was going on about it for like eight minutes. I wish I could follow what he says. I think he might have said something about no-touch icing potentially saving lives, but I’m not quite sure. To be [...]

Were you aware India overtook China as Canada’s greatest source of immigration? Did you have any idea there’s nearly 4 million Canadian residents who consider Punjabi their native language? Me neither, but that’s what I get for relying on Don Cherry for all my knowledge of other cultures. With the above stats in mind, the [...]
“i haven’t seen you in ages!” “i know. i know.” “How have you been'????” “great. really great. but sooooo busy. but it’s all good things. but still, so busy. we totally need to get together soon!” i have this conversation a lot. too often, to be honest. sadly, though, it’s the truth. i have so much going on right [...]
This blog’s getting deeply dusty, cobwebs stretch from here to there and beyond. Mostly I’m working on my photography and Hard Format nowadays. I’m not writing many reviews, but when the Beeb send me something, it’s a pleasure to do so. Here’s my review of Arve Henriksen’s about to be released fourth album: If you’re unfamiliar [...]
