My book WE BREED LIONS: Confronting Canada’s Troubled Hockey Culture is out today.
Thank you to the team at @randomhouseca for believing in this book and thanks to Stephen Brunt for writing the forward.
I’m grateful to @TSN_Sports for its commitment to sports journalism and I appreciate the many people in the game who spoke to me about their love for hockey and their desire to make it better.
I'm donating proceeds from this book to Canadian organizations such as the London Abused Women’s Centre that are trying to end gender-based violence and others that are striving to make sports more accessible.
You can order the book via @chaptersindigo here:

Summer McIntosh is now the world record holder in three long course events:

200m individual medley
400m individual medley
400m freestyle

She's 18 years old and she's Canadian.

The Ottawa Charge upset the first overall seed in the playoffs then lost a best-of-five with every game going to overtime. That included a triple overtime heartbreaker.

Really gutsy team. Congratulations to Carla MacLeod and that entire organization on a fantastic season.

Disappointed Montreal lost the series, but not disappointed in their play at all. A lot of positive takeaways for this team. The series loss is more lopsided than I feel each individual game actually was. #GoHabsGo #NHLPlayoffs

@rwesthead Looking forward to your coverage. Thank you for the important work you do.

Looking to interview a Canadian pediatrician, family health or childcare expert for two articles I am working on about daycare sickness and protecting your family for Today's Parent. Need to interview by Tuesday. #JournoRequest

@SensfleckTy This has been going on for over a decade. I’ve been to a few Habs vs Sens games where the crowd was 60/40 or 70/30 wearing Habs gear and the cheering for Habs was louder than Sens.

You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game.

Started following an account that shares meal planning on a budget.

Why is the budget starvation?

One of the dinners is lettuce wraps. 240 calories.

My 6’4, 220 lbs hubby who gets 25-30K steps a day at a physical construction job can’t live off that!

Neither can I!
