    Curling is elegant and strategic

    You have no idea. Look up broomgate, according to that fiasco there are still teams that have hard feelings.

    Curling is elegant and strategic

    Before the hog line and on the granite. A curling rock weights about 40 pounds (38-44). Curlers practise their slide and their arm extension for a smooth rock delivery. A finger touching the rock would have zero effect on the rock afaik. It might be wise to remove Marc Kennedy and put...

    Repercussions of Papadakis' book & Cizeron's response

    No not anymore I don't think. Look up the Martensville daycare case. They interviewed the kids and the adults, it didn't go well. My bil is a retired teacher. He said as a male teacher, he never hugged or touched students unless it was absolutely necessary. He said it only took 1 parent...

    Repercussions of Papadakis' book & Cizeron's response

    thanks. :) I imagine that some of these contracts could be quite complicated, but with a standard x dollars for training, ice privileges but then very individual for other things. ie you can not disicipline said skater ever. It must go thru the skating federation and you can only talk to...

    No reason, springboard. I have, and I'm not finding what I'm looking for.

    How does something like IAM work? contract with individual teams or the skating fed and the teams or? And what do the contracts specifically say about certain things? Not that I'm sticking up for IAMS but who has the power?

    They should NOT skate to...

    Paint it Black (any version), Beth Hart, Requiem for a Dream, and everything listed here and probably more that we've forgotten. ;)

    Yeah I know. It was kind of a rhetorical rant in a way.

    Repercussions of Papadakis' book & Cizeron's response

    Yes this. Didn't f/b see this? Did she want a chance at a more successful career than she had at all costs? Does she not have an ounce of compassion to how this looked? Did she think 2 self involved men had her best interests at heart here? I am just gobsmacked that there wasn't one...

    Repercussions of Papadakis' book & Cizeron's response

    I haven't either and I probably won't. And yes fans know of the many flaws of the skating system. I'll say it once - the story wasn't about him, it was hers. Twice - it wasn't about him and if he read her book he'd know. There is no good outcome to this snafu. I honestly think that...

    2025 Skate Canada Int'l in Saskatchewan & 2026 Canadians in Gatineau QC

    It's built up quite a bit around Sasktel Centre, but the wind has been very strong and cold this week. Dress warm and if you're walking a far amount, a scarf and gloves/mitts would be a good idea.

    I'm late to the party, my apologies. Wanuskewin - https://wanuskewin.com/ Batoche - site of Louis Riel's rebellion isn't far from Saskatoon. I just looked and it's tempoarily closed. Too bad it's a nice site. Mendel art Gallery - https://remaimodern.org/ Broadway has a lot of nifty...

    You'd just have to look at the menus and see if the restaurant has them. Saskatoon Inn has cheesecake with saskatoon berry topping.
