A Great Opening Hockey Night in Canada
Thanks to fellow hockey mom blogger Randi Chapnik Myers for picking my name from a helmet and inviting me and a lucky bunch of Maple Leaf-loving buddies to catch game one of the #NHL season between Montreal and Toronto at the former Maple Leaf Gardens; all courtesy of the Scotiabank Hockey Club. The score unfortunately favoured the Leafs, but the atmosphere, SWAG and sports food made it a fantastic night.

Wanna see the Jets play the Leafs this coming season (and what true hockey fan doesn’t?) While it won’t get ya quite there, but will certainly put ya in the mood, check out this great contest from @TheWinnipegJets and @wewantacupcom
God was missing for six days. Eventually, Michael, the archangel, found Him resting on the seventh day.
He inquired, “Where have you been?”
God smiled deeply and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, “Look, Michael. Look what I’ve made.”
Archangel Michael looked puzzled, and said, “What is it?”
“It’s a planet,” replied God, and I’ve put life on it… I’m going to call it Earth. It’s going to be a place to test Balance.”
“Balance?” inquired Michael, “I’m still confused.”
God explained, pointing to different parts of earth. ”For example, northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth, while southern Europe is going to be poor. Over here I’ve placed a continent of white people, and over there is a continent of black people. Balance in all things.”
God continued pointing to different countries. “This one will be extremely hot, while this one will be very cold and covered in ice.”
The Archangel , impressed by God’s work, then pointed to a land area and said, “What’s that one?”
“That’s the Province of Ontario … the most glorious place on earth.. There are beautiful mountains, rivers and streams, lakes, forests, hills, and beaches. The people from ONTARIO are going to be handsome, modest, intelligent, and humorous, and they are going to travel the world. They will be extremely sociable, hardworking, high achieving, carriers of peace, and producers of good things.”
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then asked, “But what about balance, God? You said there would be balance..”
God smiled, “There’s Toronto . Wait till you see the hockey team I put there.”
