I really need to work on my framing here, because I went to the Ireland-Canada cricket match on Friday and said to someone “I like bringing attention to weird sports.” He said… “cricket’s not a weird sport!” He’s right! It’s the second-most popular sport in the world! It’s only about half as weird as football. (Try explaining the intentional grounding r…

I occasionally hear from coaches who deplore the conservative nature of NHL tactics. Many such complaints are valid, though I would argue that NHL hockey is as dynamic and creative as ever. All four remaining teams in these Stanley Cup finals give their players permission to make plays off the rush, empower their Ds to join as F4 and employ various set …

Since the start of the 2022-23 season, 27 of the 32 NHL teams have changed head coaches at least once. Since the end of last season there have been 19 head coaching changes after Sheldon Keefe was fired on Thursday, before a two-year contract extension even kicked in.

As you may have seen or heard on the Internet, I recently realized my months-long goal of playing the national anthem on guitar at an NHL hockey game, what critics are already calling the greatest national anthem playing of all-time basically. At least far as I’m concerned.

From the time I was 10, I’ve been obsessed with what it means to grow older. I’m curious about what it means to others, of all ages, and so I invite them to take “The Oldster Magazine Questionnaire.” Here, journalist, editor, and “global book ambassador”

In Canada, Father's Day is observed to honor fatherhood every year on the third Sunday of June. Although not a public holiday, many Canadians celebrate this day to show appreciation and give respect to fathers and father figures. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

When I first discovered NHL ice hockey as a teenager, I thought the fighting was kind of cool. These goons were willing to beat each other up and risk losing a tooth or ten, just to defend the honor of their teammates. Now that I’m a physician and public health researcher, it’s decidedly less charming to me. We’ve all learned about the

Saturday night, the University of Michigan men’s hockey team will take on the Ohio State Buckeyes for the fifth time this season. Ohio State has claimed three of the four previous meetings—one in a rout, one in a shootout, and one outside at Cleveland’s FirstEnergy Stadium.

For the past few games, the Montreal Canadiens have been icing 11 forwards, and while they sport a surprising 3-2 record in their last five contests, this is a situation that will soon become untenable. They can scarcely afford to lose more players to injury, and the constant double shifting is bound to take a toll sooner than later.

Let’s talk about plus-minus and Moritz Seider. I know, plus-minus is a flawed stat, there are much better overall metrics to judge a player. But when it comes to wins and losses, and a franchise defenseman, plus-minus can be a strong indicator of whether a team will make the playoffs or not.

Reformers and radicals on the American right have had a very tough time these past few decades, and have lost every single major battle that they have conducted against both Democrats and Republicans. One need only look back at the debacle that was the Tea Party, heavily libertarian and constitutionalist in orientation, only to be swallowed up whole an…

What a Beautiful Place to be with Friends SJ This week I googled “lip injections Toronto” with a level of seriousness I wish to forget. I spent more time than I care to admit on this pursuit before ultimately closing my laptop — disappointed and despondent.

A Dog’s Breakfast Sydney Waking up in the morning has been hard this year. I have had to practise delaying my instinctive half-awake scroll through the news until I have first moved through the slow motions of my morning rituals. It is only after my first cup of coffee that I click through the headlines.

Welcome to brainwork! Throughout our lives, we add and modify a store of mental representations. These representations are of the world around us. It takes brainwork to make these abstract objects communicable. This is the output of that work, I hope it makes sense!
