Hey @coldplay only one more sleep until my flight all the way from Manitoba to see you in concert tomorrow night! I can’t think of a better way to celebrate my 61st birthday!!!
PS- I’ll be crushing my fav dance moves on the floor, wearing you guessed it….. YELLOW… 💛
Thinking about starting an honor roll for the kid who can fix my car, or the kid who works 20+ hours per week, or the kid who takes cares of younger siblings, or…the list goes on.
Seems there’s honor in those roles.

@ScottBilleck In my opinion, he’s never played with that consistent drive and effort since that hit on Jake Evans a few years ago. No idea if there’s a correlation here or not but just a comment all the same.
BLIND HOCKEY SERIES
Players must have only 10 per cent vision or less, and goalies must be completely blind.
The puck is larger and made of metal. It has ball bearings in it so it rattles and players can locate it. Here’s some of the action.

I was a teacher for (many) years before discovering I really wasn't teaching.
I was talking, assigning, grading.
And I thought I was teaching. Truly.
I wasn't. I didn't start teaching until I learned to respond to each kid's learning.
That is where/when I become a teacher.
Instead of spending so much time thinking about how to grade a student who is struggling, let’s invest time thinking about how to lift that student. Teaching, not scoring, is the essence of our work.
I played in an adult league game last night. When the other team scored their first goal, one of the guys yelled “congrats man, you scored on a girl” and here you have it, just another example of how the hockey culture needs to shift.
Bud, I skate with NHL guys in the summer 😬
I’m grateful to have the support of everyone at @hometownhockey_ who encouraged me say what was in my heart last night.
Some thoughts on the NHL’s broken culture.
One year ago today we lost our beloved Dale. He was an incredible friend, father, husband, son, brother and teacher but most importantly; a man who cared and always wanted to make this world a better place... We love and miss you. “To know him was to love him.” #HawerchukStrong
10 years ago today, we lost Rick Rypien.
We remember and honour Ryp by keeping his legacy alive, and helping empower kids on and off the ice to make a positive impact in their daily lives.
Know that you are not alone. Ask for help.

I believe it is possible to be fiercely proud of the great things in our amazing country, while also being deeply ashamed about atrocities of the past.
If we truly love Canada, we’ll address our shortcomings and make this a better country.
I love 🇨🇦 but we’re far from perfect.
