Steve and Ash were so kind to invite Michelle and I to a pre-season Flames hockey game at the Saddledome, versus the Edmonton Oilers on October 3rd. It was great because I have not seen a hockey game in over two years and it was Michelle’s first! The Oilers fought off a ridiculous amount of [...]

While the locals do not advise swimming in lake Huron, there is [...]

This time around, there were only three Canadians in total at the training, so our presence was especially lacking. The definite highlight of the trip was on Wednesday – our group got picked up in this fancy [...]
