I used to work for a hockey team and I used to live in Canada (not in that order). Now I do other stuff. benwrightatl .bsky. social
In a strange turn of events, Christians don't seem to like Jesus' teachings.
Jesus told us to feed the poor.
Bob Hartley was just hired as the head coach of Lokomotiv Yaroslavl. It would be amazing if he brought Slava on as an assistant. Surely there'd be a benefit to having a familiar face who knows the language on the bench.
Less after a month since the appointment, @HCSOCHI fired coach Vyacheslav Kozlov and assistant Alexander Savchenkov "We have made a balanced decision and are heading into the new season with new tasks and ambitious goals" said GM Igor Grigorenko @hcsochiru #ХКСочи #HCSochi #KHL
Anyone happen to know why there's a ground stoppage for incoming flights in Montreal (YUL)?
Canadian customs officer in the Montreal airport- stoic, minimal questions, and then he asked where we're from. "Atlanta." "Oh. Are you guys getting another hockey team?" "We hope so." "Good luck, and have a good visit."
The Stanley Cup is visiting Alpharetta for an hour next week. Why? I don't know. Hey- isn't that where Anson Carter's group is trying to build an NHL arena? Probably a coincidence, right?
Stanley Cup Trophy Coming to Alpharetta Don’t miss your chance to see one of the most iconic trophies in professional sports. The Stanley Cup will be on public display Tuesday, July 15, from approximately 1:30–2:30 p.m. at Town Green, 2 Park Plaza
The Montreal Canadiens have extra young defensemen and 4 goalies (Montembault, Dobes, Primeau and Fowler). What would it take for Edmonton to get Dobes and Arber Xhekaj? #oilers
Hear me out... Get Warner Bros Discovery to be part of the ownership of Atlanta's new NHL team and call them... the Atlanta Dynamite. Brought to you by TNT of course.
Former pro goalie Drew McIntrye joining up with retired damn Adam McQuaid to be a partner in my cousin's new pickleball venture back home.
I could not be more proud to be apart of such a great group of islanders who are bringing such a wonderful sport and facility to my hometown. This will be a huge addition to our community and I look forward to being apart of it! #atlanticpickleballclub #PEIpickleball
Happy election day Canada. Get out there and vote if you haven't already. For what it's worth, I don't recommend living under a far-right gov't run by technobros. Vote wisely.

Wayne Gretzky: "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." Saba: "Watch this."
Saba causes ANOTHER own goal for the second week in a row 👏
$2 billion NHL expansion fee? That's going to hurt Atlanta's chances unless Arthur Blank or someone in that category is interested. I'm sure TNT pays well, but Anson Carter's going to have to round up some very wealthy friends.

I've worked for a state government and a federal government. Both times I knew full well that meant my name, title, and salary were public records.
The so-called New York Times outs 45 people working for DOGE.
The catches- you have to work with food animals (pigs, cows, chickens) in a county with fewer than 50,000 people. In other words, Tyson needs vets for their chicken operations and wants the state to subsidize them.
