[August 4th 2024] ethan katzberg (22, CAN) pumping up the crowd before his final throw after he's confirmed to have won gold. With huge 84.12m throw in hammer toss, 4.15m further than the next best, he earns canadas first ever gold in the event !

Sometimes, I think that the stereotype that Canadians are obsessed with hockey is a little over-exaggerated, and then I remember that my school admins moved the AP exam setup forward so that people could watch the Canucks vs. Oilers game on Friday, and that one of my teachers started class on Tuesday by asking if people were going to watch the game, and another teacher's farewell was "Go Canucks!", and that I'm anxiously waiting for the results even though I don't watch hockey

THE NHL FED US RIGHT. I CANTTTT I LOVE QUINNN SMMMM. I’m about to feed u guys…so you can wake up and be blessed like I’ve been MUAHHH

[crossbackpoke-check]

what are ur thoughts on the winners room trope?

ooooo okay surface level analysis: i like winner’s room fics :)

etwas tieferes: i think it’s cool that it’s (afaik) unique to hockey fandom and i enjoy the way it integrates a lot of unspoken rules in hockey with desire/makes them a physical/tangible reality… also the narrative potentials/world-building it opens up can be fun because there’s not really a set of rules for the “winner’s room” trope. are there in-universe rules? who gets chosen? who’s exempt? who gets to pick? where’s it going down? is it the entire room or one guy? what if your (ex)boyfriend is on another team? does somebody need to be taught a lesson or do you need to remind someone who got traded you still love them? also, most important, winner’s room gives you the chance to put two random-ass guys you saw interact for 0.002 seconds and went “hmmm. interesting” about into a Situation and i love that

did that annual thing where i get super emotional about my wjc team canada boys and turn my bio quote into that one barrett hayton quote that ruined my entire life for a month straight

Amazing Adventures in Auntieing #1

If you’ve read much of my blog, it’s probably pretty obvious that the west coast of British Columbia holds a lot of my heart, particularly the Tofino and Ucluelet area. So much, in fact, that one of my dreams was that I’d one day get to share some of my favourite spots with the Adorable Nephew and the Indomitable Niece. Making it happen be impossible, with school breaks often being taken up with…

[happyleech]

Every once in a while (but mostly in November) I remember how 1) I was in choir in elementary school and 2) our teacher one year tried to arrange 'In Flanders Fields' into a form that 40-some 4th graders could sing.

It didn't work.

National Sports Day

October is a prime time for National Sports Day. That’s why on October 16th, the fans, families, and athletes of all the sports converging on the month come together to celebrate their favorite athletic events. All disciplines of a sport take the field, from the youngest to the seasoned professional.

While golfers hit the links to get at least nine more holes before the snow flies, hoopsters gear up for the season ahead. The puck hits center ice early in October, while baseball aims for the bleachers and clears the bases.

Football is heating up with tackles, kicks, and offsides. Don’t forget, volleyball digs midseason, too. Runners in most of the country love October. Events like 5k, half, and full marathons throughout the nation feature opportunities to enjoy the fall weather and beautifully changing landscapes. In the Western Hemisphere, families gather to watch soccer’s final kickoff. The intensity builds, and every game ends with memories of wicked kicks or the goalie’s best save.

From a young age, family road trips took many to cheer on siblings in a variety of sports. We hauled our gear from place to place, and the team knew the season was drawing to a close when the duffle bags began to smell.

HOW TO OBSERVE

Gather your friends to enjoy watching your favorite team. Get out and play, too. No matter your skill level, relishing the challenge and physical activity will be worth it. Besides, getting together with friends and family to celebrate a favored pastime is one of the best ways to Celebrate Every Day®.

NATIONAL SPORTS DAY HISTORY

Wale Rocks (pronounced Wally) in partnership with National Day Calendar founded National Sports Day in 2019 to celebrate the athletes, families, and fans of all sports. National Sports Day is about the benefits of sporting competition. When our youth have an opportunity to play competitively, they advance their skills and build great habits to take with them into adulthood. Family members who support them create a bond that brings them together, improving the family unit and communities throughout the nation.

Children excel at a sport when given a chance to practice under the pressure of competition in the game brain. And with soccer becoming a National Sport for all ages, Wale Rocks chose it as their first sport to spotlight.

With all sports, practice is vital. However, time touching the ball under the pressure of competition makes players excel. With the support of great coaches working their magic, these young novices mature into confident players. How exciting to watch their confidence grow.

Wale Rocks is also creating a special event to mark the National Sports Day launch.

The Registrar at National Day Calendar® proclaimed National Sports Day in 2019 to be observed on October 16th, annually.
