This semester, I have the pleasure of having one subject selection where I can take essentially any subject I want in the entirety of the university, to fulfill my non-law elective requirements. Now requiring students to take 2 non-law subjects (out of the total 32 required for a straight law program) seems rather ridiculous if [...]

Where I’ve been since May….
August 6th, 2010 · No Comments · Uncategorized
Yes. This is one of those blogs that has almost as many OMG I’ve vanished for __ this many months on ends posts as it has actual posts. Why? Because I’m one of those people that seems to spend more time living life than writing about it. Not saying, if you write about it, that’s [...]

Hockey Life (or something like it) – Essay for the Brendan Burke Internship
May 25th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Personal Hockey
It seems strange, that I haven’t posted here in Months, caught up in the flurry of returning from the States, tumbling back into School and Hockey. It seems in stark contrast that my last post was in memorial of the amazingness that was Brendan Burke and here is my application essay to the internship in [...]

In Remembrance of What Was and What Will Continue
February 6th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Everyone Has a Take This Is Mine, NHL Hockey, Personal Hockey
Stereotypically men deal with things by ignoring about it and women deal with things by talking about it. In this day and age, it seems like both genders deal by tweeting about it. That’s how I learnt today in a tweet by @JayOnrait that Brian Burke’s son Brendan had passed. It is always sad when [...]

Quebec v. Cormier: The Law v. The League
January 18th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Everyone Has a Take This Is Mine
I have watched the Cormier video multiple times, pausing and going back just before Tam starts to go into convulsions. I have already seen twice in my life a player go into seizures before me on the ice, one an epileptic team mate, the other the result of a fight gone wrong and both never [...]

Well I’ve been here in Everett for a week and a bit now and its already been a hell of a time. I spent most of the first few days in various states of unconsciousness on couches and beds as I tried to get over the most wicked jet lag I’ve ever experienced (I’d never [...]

The Love Affair with World Juniors
December 26th, 2009 · 1 Comment · NHL Hockey, Personal Hockey
“Christmas” (noun) – a day of the year that falls one day before the World Junior Hockey Championship officially starts. I fell in love with World Juniors during the lock out. I’d only been around hockey for a few years at that point and with internet game streaming practically non-existent at this point (I really [...]

Naked Shoot Out: Article 8 – A big-Ass Look at Entry Draft Regulations
December 20th, 2009 · No Comments · NHL Hockey, Naked Shootout: A Stripped Down Look at the CBA
Article 8 – The Entry Draft I love the entry draft. All those fresh faced young hockey players, surrounded by their family and friends and still fill of hopes and dreams that GM’s and the real world are just waiting to crush. My most recent favourite draft moments involve Brian Burke, whether it be watching [...]
