As an on-ice official, Rico Phillips sees hockey from a different perspective. When the @OHLHockey cancelled its 2020-2021 season, @Ricoflealips watched the future of young athletes hang in the balance. It's a lesson on privilege that he hopes we never forget.

Olympic bronze medallist, @kvincent96 made history among the 1st female canoe paddlers to compete in the @Olympics. After advocating to get the sport into #Tokyo2020, she didn't stop there. Instead, Katie won a bronze medal and continued to blaze a trail for women in the sport.

When the CFL cancelled its 2020 season, star receiver @shaq_evans1 was overcome with a familiar feeling. This wasn't his first time losing football. In his own words, Shaq opens up about injuries, a faulty drug test, and a lesson in staying ready.

Congratulations to our guy, @coopercoats, on his first cap with @RugbyCanada Men’s 15’s team last weekend.

Fittingly, Cooper also scored his first “try” with the big club in the appearance.
