My Heroines

Team Canada is full of heroines.  22 athletes, 22 reasons.  There were some athletes that did not get a chance to play much but kept working hard in practice and kept their heads up.  There were athletes that played on one leg, athletes that played with one arm.  Athletes that played through fear, anxiety, anticipation and against a great team.  Each and every one of them is a heroine, and each and every one of them were heroines for each moment in the WRC.

We met with Team Canada on the Sunday morning, and I told them I was incredibly proud to be able to walk into a rink and say “I’m with them”.  It was an honour and a privelige to do that.  To point at that group of women and say that I am associated in any way with them is a professional and personal thrill.  I can only thank them all for the chance to do it.

Wow

Wow.  It has been a while between posts.  I could give you the regular list of excuses, but I will just say that I have not been up to it.  With the WRC going on, and the emotional, mental and physical toll that took on everyone, we just needed a break.  All that, and I did not even play in a game! 
In the meantime, the holiday season approaches, and we have stuff to help with that.  We now have an online store with ringette clothing and memorabilia ranging from hats, to baby stuff, to even dog shirts.  Check it out.

Team Canada and the Lynx

On August 3rd, Team Canada will visit Lynx Stadium to see the Lynx play the Syracuse Sky Chiefs.  The game will feature an appearance by the team on the field in the 7th inning stretch and a special appearance to throw out the first pitch.  Thanks to the Lynx for hosting us.  If you are in Ottawa, join us for the game.
