I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it. Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words.

A really nice moment here.

Bosnia and Herzegovina fans get caught up in the middle of Canada’s March to the Match.

And they’re being met with high fives as they pass through the sea of red.

I'm conducting a survey on coaching to understand what makes a good coach and to learn from people's experience.

If you could take a minute and fill this out if you are either a coach or athlete/performer, that'd be great. It's not limited to sport: https://t.co/P8K1uZsPDA

Hockey is the sport where every mom and dad spent every weekend getting up at 5am to load the family vehicle in 16 below weather and drive to some rink somewhere for practice.

An 8am gold medal game sounds like a vacation.
