Rest in peace, Gino Odjick.

Good friends Gino Odjick (l) and Pavel Bure on their way to a Canucks practice in 1994.  Odjick named one of his sons Bure after his team-mate.

Nova Peris

Nova Peris was born in 1971 in Darwin, Northern Territory. At the 1996 Olympics, Peris and her teammates won the gold medal in field hockey, making her the first Australian Aboriginal to win an Olympic gold medal. In 2013, she was elected to the Australian Parliament as a senator for the Northern Territory, and served until 2016.

SOME players actually do have wonderful marriages and genuinely love their families (Marc-Andre Fleury, TJ Oshie, Carey Price, Kris Letang, etc) and have no history of cheating (that *I* know of). But so many others act like immature egotistical fuck boys. Plus, they know if they were Average Joe Schmoe's working a 9 to 5, these Barbie knockoffs wouldn't give them the time of day.

Again. So true.

Of that list, I think I might put an asterisk next to Letang, but the others I agree with. I'd add Price to that list cuz there are rumors of a side baby with a cop. Just rumors. But when there is smoke, there tends to be fire.

One of my college friends is TJ Oshie's cousin. They are both from Warroad, and are connected through their Ojibwe/Chippewa heritage. I can't remember if he was enrolled or not, but I keep my hands still because of her. I am not a fan of his politics (unless it's changed recently).

But, Fluery. That's my King right there.

Y'all remember how the league ended special jersey nights, so Letang wore a mask honoring his Indigenous wife, then dared the fucking league to say something?

Now, that's a fucking good man, Savannah.

There are legitimate marriages in the NHL. I won't ever say that there aren't any.

I just recognize a lot of girlies may be looking at the WAG accounts and seeing only the perfectly curated lives they want you to see. Meanwhile, their husbands are cheating dogs, but they got brand deals, so it's all gravy.

Hey guys. If y'all could please sign this petition to help save ICWA and protect indigenous children from being taken from their homes in the US, that would be great. The goal is 300,000 signatures. This petition has over 200,000 signatures. Don't be afraid to repost this and do what you can to help indigenous children.

I did really like this book in the beginning but as the book progressed, I felt as if my list of cons grew longer. (You can read this and draw your conclusion; this is just my personal opinion.) I was excited at first because I had liked Warrior Girl Unearthed and expected a similar reading experience. It started fine but went downhill when I was about 40% through the book. I felt that at that point it was trying to cover too much ground. To me, it felt that the story was spread thin and left many things unresolved. While I did learn about Ojibwe culture and language, it does become lost with everything else going on.

The romance in this story was unnecessary (at least for me it felt distracting and like instant love). With everything else going on, I saw zero chemistry between the characters. To me, this came off as instant love. Instead of helping in character development, I believe it actually stunted them. Jamie felt like a generic character, whose predominant personality trait is his job and being "hot." Also, his saying, "I love how you see the world," was an immediate ick. It felt, a manic pixie dream girl, and not like other girls. This is further established by Daunis's inner monologue. Although I liked the fact that she was a huge science geek and played hockey, I didn't really like the ongoing comments she had about her girls. (This happens more towards the beginning.) This is notable by calling the girlfriends of hockey players 'parasitic': "I won't be a wannabe anglerfish trying to latch on to a guy who is already taken. There are more comments like this throughout the book. This never really gets addressed unless it shows that her comments about these girls were correct.

Overall, it was an okay book but certain plot points made it drag on. I am likely not going to be recommending this book to anyone at this time
