I’m tired of my music library, so I’m trying to listen to a new (to me) album every day in 2026, and Blackstar was one of the first.
I don’t know why I waited so long to listen to it, but it did not disappoint. Bowie was an absolute legend right up to the very end.

Happy Birthday David Bowie, born this day in 1947.
His 26th and final album "Blackstar" (★) was released on this day in 2016.
David Bowie would pass away just a couple of days later. Rest in Peace.

I have a lot of fun doing play-by-play, and 2025 was very enjoyable
I was privileged to call another Stonehouse Cup final at the end of the PJHL season, as well as some JPHL action (including eventual 3rd overall WHL pick Liam Pue). Also some bonus UBC Baseball in the summer!

Goldeneyes own four of the top six attendance marks in PWHL so far this season
Announced crowd of 12,127 for Saturday's 4-2 loss to Montreal at the Pacific Coliseum adds to the list

Confused as to why this regional Leafs game doesn’t seem to be blacked out for me? Not complaining but it’s weird.

I know it’s not surprising, but it’s still bizarre seeing swaths of empty seats in New Jersey for the PWHL game when it’s essentially the hottest ticket in town in Vancouver

The Goldeneyes are going to lose a bunch of players in the upcoming expansion draft, and you know what? The fanbase won’t be huge crybabies about it.
By next season the PWHL could jump to 12 teams depending on the next few months and the returns from the 2025-26 Takeover Tour.
To some this might seem quick, but the league's motto is simple: "Time is overrated."

PWHL Is Targeting Rapid Expansion to 12 Teams
The PWHL quickly added two expansion teams for 2025–26. It aims to add another four after gathering data from this year’s Takeover Tour.

For my birthday I get to take my soon-to-be 4 year old daughter to the first ever game for Vancouver’s professional women’s hockey team, and that’s pretty cool.
Then Rosie gets to go to a game on her birthday in December! She’s already created a Goldeneyes chant for the occasion.

My guy, 7 completely different actors have played the titular character. I think people will be able to move past it.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

It’s been what, 6-7 years of legalized sports betting in states? Two players already arrested, countless more scandals.

That net was not affixed properly for it to come off like that. Absolutely criminal to give the home team a goal on this.
It’s literally their arena staff’s responsibility. Garbage, bush league stuff.
