For all my sports folks out there, here’s the highlight reel worthy, spectacular overtime goal that ended the Cdn Ringette Championship and made the Eastern Ontario Force U19 champs! From the knees to top shelf! ringette.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=…

Heartbreak. Perseverance. Belief.
Piper Gilles’ journey to the Olympic podium has been one of strength and determination.
At Milano Cortina 2026, alongside Paul Poirier, she captured glory. 🥉✨
A reminder of the strength and resilience women bring to sport every single day.

We have won over the staff at the restaurant where we’ve had lunch about five times. They have started sending over limoncello at the end of every meal.

Curling has spent decades trying to figure out a way to raise its profile.
All it took was a graze of a finger on a piece of granite, an allegation and expletive-laden response.
Social media and the spotlight that only the Games provide did the rest.

@WillGravesAP I was waiting for a hockey game style scrum to add to the drama between CAN and SWE!!! Loved the story.

@FRONZ1LLA I will never forget moderating that post-race press conference working at my first Olympic Winter Games. It was madness!

This is why I’m really enjoying seeing the medals presented at the venues right after the event. The emotion is MUCH more real!

Living for the dad energy on the men’s dual moguls podium. 👏⛷️ Mikaël Kingsbury earns Canada’s first gold of the Games. 🥇🇨🇦 Japan’s Ikuma Horishima takes silver, while Australia’s Matt Graham claims bronze. 🥈🥉 Three medals. Three dads. 🥹

I just realized it now: STEPHEN GOGOLEV was SECOND in the men's FS at the Olympics in #MilanoCortina26. What he has done this year has been miraculous. Everybody had counted him out for a long time. He found his way back.
