Fan of Special Olympics & sports at large, great stories, things that are blue. Vancouverite with fondness for Sea to Sky & TO. Award-winning Vogon poet.
Also rereading this, and @hailey_salvian’s other terrific work on women’s hockey in @TheAthletic. Hoping this bad day for the #CWHL will lead to better days for outstanding female hockey players, and for my daughter who I want to grow up seeing them as superstars!
Saddened and at first shocked by today’s @TheCWHL news; now rereading this excellent article to kindle hope that this bad news can help pave the path SOON to a single women’s league with @NHL support where everyone can find, watch, and admire incredible female hockey players!
This game is under a massive spotlight, and if decision-makers don’t get it right soon — while it’s still the fastest-growing sport among young girls in America — it’s an enormous opprtunity wasted. On the pro game that’s dividing the best in the world: https://t.co/v6elcvCU36
Dear @gates_mcfadden: Did you ever feel like biting @SirPatStew’s head off? With much respect for you both, from a lifelong TNG fan and a future TNG fan on her first #Halloween
Impressed by @gabby_daleman delivering under pressure with a clean, strong free. Two clean skates at #CTNSC18 = #clutch. Very cool to see the determination of Canada's top women's skaters today. https://t.co/Sfdle0m26e
A privilege to be here at #CTNSC18 to watch the world's greatest ice dancers and send them off with a standing ovation to (again) claim the Olympic gold they so richly deserve. I could watch @tessavirtue and @ScottMoir all day

Quite a thrill to watch @BobCANSkel today at the @IBSFsliding World Cup #Whistler - remarkable @BobsledKaillie golden, men's bobsleigh 1-2, & emotional skeleton silver for B.C.'s Jane Channell. Yes this was the best bobsleigh pic I could manage on phone #fastsleds#slowphotog
Fun and fast morning at the ISBF World Cup #Whistler watching @janechannell and co tackle the @slidingcentre track - tough and exciting today! Bring on the bobsleigh
