Monday was my first time experiencing #InternationalHolocaustRemembranceDay @Baycrest. Hearing the stories of survivors through the voices of @CrestwoodPrep students was both powerful & unforgettable. Thanks @mitchellconsky & @TheCJN for capturing it. thecjn.ca/news/students-…

Today, on #HolocaustRemembranceDay, #Baycrest hosted a moving observance with residents, patients, students, and the community. Songs by Robbins Hebrew Academy & stories from Crestwood's Oral History Project reminded us to protect dignity & stand against hatred. #NeverForget

Thank you @newsdurham for covering this story. The viral video mentioned in it was especially disturbing for anyone who loves the outdoors and pays license and user fees to help sustain it for generations.

@Ken_Campbell27 The @HockeyHallFame selection process.

When you think about it, it's hard to believe we live in a world where Shea Weber is a first-ballot Hall of Famer and Alex Mogilny is 0-for-15.

It’s missing one puck.

“One of the parents was yelling at the refs and the players.” The #OMHA and @RespectGroup asked kids what they didn't like about parents in the stands and why it should always be #HockeyIsFun. Read more: omha.net/news_article/s… Full video: youtube.com/watch?v=j3nF7o…

@BrittanyGlobal All the best Brittany. You were always fair and great to deal with. Congrats on the move.

Some personal news...

Being a Head Coach is Hard. Unless you have done it, you do not understand. Here are 8 Realities that All Head Coaches Face: 1: It will consume you. Coaching is more than just a job - it's a way of life. You'll spend countless hours planning practices, analyzing game film, and strategizing for the next game. It can consume you. But when you see your team succeed, it makes it all worth it. 2: There will always be critics. No matter your success, people will always criticize your decisions and strategies. Even w/State Championship Teams. Know and Accept this. Always remember that you know your team better than anyone, and your goal is to do what's best for them. 3: You are not in it for the money. Coaching does not usually pay well, but it's not about the money. Don't calculate your hourly wage. It is a calling. A lifestyle. It's about the love of the game and helping young athletes grow and develop into their full potential. 4: There is no overnight success. Building a successful team takes time, patience, & dedication. There will be ups and downs, but if you stay the course, you'll see the results. Always remember that your #1 job is to Build Culture. Play the long game with Culture. 5: You need a supportive spouse. This should be #1 on the list for many! Coaching can put a strain on your family Having a spouse who understands and supports your passion is CRITICAL. Make sure to take the time to show your appreciation and give back whenever possible. 6: You will not make everyone happy. As a coach, you will make tough decisions that not everyone will agree with. This happens A LOT. But remember, you're in it for the benefit of the TEAM, not just one individual. You will NEVER make everyone happy. 7: You can't want it more than the kids. As a coach, you can inspire & motivate your players, but ultimately, they have to want it. This can be hard for a younger coach. Encourage them to work hard & set goals. Let them take ownership of their own success. 8: It is still WORTH it! Despite the challenges, being a coach is incredibly rewarding! Watching your players grow & develop into strong, confident young adults is one of the best feelings in the world. Watching a team grow is very rewarding. Always remember WHY you coach. -Sam Cannon

That #RedHats feeling is like no other. Just ask the Oshawa U18 AAA squad at the #OMHA Championships presented by @GetCracking.

Kids, parents + coaches. This is a scouting report by a so called expert after I played 198 NHL games. Through hard work + determination and not listening to MORONS like this I played 815 NHL games + coached 1000 NHL games. It is possible when U can’t skate, pass or make plays.

@DailyFaceoff @frank_seravalli It used to be Dollar Bill Wirtz and his fellow NHL owners that prevented the league from being progressive and modern. Now that job belongs to the people who cover the game. Fans don't care about rink board ads, traditional/conservative hockey media types do.

NHL claims that digitally enhanced board ads are a "non issue" and that polled fans have responded favorably to them: @frank_seravalli reports from the Board of Governors meetings in Florida dailyfaceoff.com/nhl-says-distr…

Lots of fun this morning. Thank you @SparkConfer for the opportunity to talk Comms, #mentalhealth, and @OntarioShores.

Constable James Jefferson of the @SudburyPolice shared his lived experience with #PTSD as part of Wednesday's #MentalHealth and #Recovery Day at Ontario Shores. His complete presentation is available now on YouTube. lnkd.in/gupWhP8S

Growing up in Toronto, Vin Scully on NBC’s game of the week was a gateway to wider baseball world. His voice, phrasing, sense of the moment, magic. Gibson HR call in 88 WS, perfect, lets it breathe, then: “In a year that has been so improbable, the impossible has happened.” RIP

Const. James Jefferson brings #mentalhealth for #firstresponders into focus by sharing his journey with #PTSD and thoughts of #suicide.
