This week in sports :)

This may be irrelevant to most of the readers I seem to be getting at the moment, but this was a great week in sports!

This week:
-The University of Guelph hosted the CIS Field Hockey National championships. The Gryphons did not quite live up to their expectations (finishing third), but it was an entertaining week and it was awesome to see the stands full for almost every game. Phenomenal work was done by Jill Taylor, Maureen Balsillie, Dave Easter Andrew Goddard, Frank Cain and the entire Athletics staff in hosting the tournamanent.
-The Canucks had a highly entertaining game against the Red Wings last night, and have won six in a row. I try not to get excited about early seasons results for my team, but with the Sedin twins not scoring in bunches it's an incredibly good thing that players like Maholtra and Torres are lighting the lamp.
-With a player sporting the best facial hair in baseball, the San Francisco Giants won the World Series for the first time in their history.
-Brett Favre threw for the most yards in a single game in his career, and appears to have not taken a picture of his p*nis and sent it to anybody this week. (reference here)
-I bought two tickets to a Buffalo Sabres game in a week, and am looking forward to experiencing a hockey game in the States.

Reboot Alberta also met again this weekend, and I continue to admire the efforts of the group being made out there. This is a group of progressives who are looking to shape the direction of the province of Alberta, with members from across the political and professional spectrum. Some of their members have taken on projects that have absolutely made a difference (municipal elections, including the #Nenshi campaign), while some are taking a longer view and hoping that the Alberta Party will avoid the regressive nature of Alberta politics.
Best line I heard from Reboot:
Q: Ed Stelmach and Danielle Smith fall out of a rowboat; who survives?
A: Alberta
(note: Ed Stelmach is the Premiere of Alberta, and Danielle is the leader of the new-ish Wild Rose Party - both strong C conservatives)

That's all for now! If anybody out there has an interesting community leadership program in the area they think I should know about (to get involved or promote); email me!
