The Blue Jays player development center in Dunedin, Tampa was built strong to stand against the tropical weather they face down south. They received little damage during hurricane Milton which is great for the Blue Jays. This helped avoid a big headache for the Jays!

In 2016 the Winnipeg Jets hosted a Heritage Classic Game that brought in many fans from all over the place, including me! Wayne Gretzky played in the alumni game. It was so cool to watch him play and see the success it brought to Winnipeg.

Bell uses there big name for good with supporting mental health with a day called Bell Let’s Talk Day. Bell Let’s Talk Day promotes sharing mental health stories to encourage others to feel like they are not alone. It’s awesome to see Bell uses their name for good!

Wow!! That is so awesome to see. I love how people gave him the opportunity to not only try, but gave him the resources to succeed as well!

An example of deviance in sport is Brad Marchand licking multiple opponents while playing against them. It is normal to chirp or fight an opponent, but licking is out of the norm. It is so abnormal that the league didn’t really know how to handle the situation.

Week 8!!

She’s my favorite hockey player!!

Mahon Rhéaume was and still is the only woman to have played in an NHL game. She broke the gender barriers by being the first female hockey player in a male dominated sport and league.

Brigette Lacquette was the first Canadian Indigenous woman to make the Canadian Women’s National Hockey Team and the first Indigenous woman to be a scout for the NHL. Brigette now plays in the PWHL for Calgary. She has broke barriers for young Indigenous athletes.

I played hockey with his cousins. So cool how he is from Saskatchewan and doing amazing things for the Indigenous community.

With my full time career I will wake up earlier in order to go workout, mixing both a lift as well as cardio. I will also be a full time hockey coach, which allows me to be involved with youth sport.

That is a great idea Rylee! There are many free programs that make a challenging, quick workout!

Our UofR Hockey Teams do something called Cougar Cubs throughout the hockey season. They are on the ice once a week, every week to encourage young hockey players to try new skills while skating with their role models (the players)!! It is a fun way to learn in a friendly environment.

I feel like female hockey players experience this with a wage gap. The difference in pay between the NHL and PWHL is sickening. Male hockey players make millions and the highest paid female hockey player is about $100k

This article shows the feminist theory through Jessica Campbell with her facing sexism from fans, especially online. Jessica became the first female NHL coach that has been on the bench in a male dominated field, breaking a significant gender barrier.

I think sport should have a competitive edge that consists of skill where there is success and failure. I believe that you should learn and adapt to create a higher skill set. So therefore I think poker would be considered a sport just as much as it is hockey.

I agree with you Rylee!
