Seen yesterday in a display at Deuville's Rink in Truro, a team I had not heard of, the Madawaska Valley Lumber Kings. Any idea what level of hockey this team plays/played?

A Winnipeg men's league game was interrupted by a celebration - by the players and the ref, all watching the game on their phones - as the Jets tied up Game 7 against the Blues. (via /r/hockey)

Mets Double-A affiliate Binghamton will play three games as the Southern Tier Spicy Meatballs.
Binghamton’s newest name is inspired by the rich Italian Heritage found not only in Binghamton, but throughout the Southern Tier region; specifically Endicott, NY.

I won something called a "Reessayez SVP", which I assume is some type of european car. Sweet!
Nova Scotia pocket friends, now that Roll up the Rim is back with actual cups again, if you have not yet read @leomckayjr.bsky.social 's excellent novel of the same name, it is a good time to do so

12 Janitors at Alderney Gate are about to lose their jobs because the #HRM decided to go with a cheaper non-union contractor.
Emergency rally taking place at Halifax city hall, tomorrow at 6:00pm. HRM needs to do the right thing and make sure these workers’ jobs and contract are upheld! #halifax

I hope the child is making a recovery today. This town needs a reset. The regularity of severe violence against children and young adults here means something is very wrong with our societal priorities. We need politicians willing to acknowledge and tackle the violence epidemic. Not more police.

Today: sunny & cold. Onshore snow & blowing in gusty NW winds (worse in CB).
A very messy storm begins Sunday afternoon. Once again changes to ice pellets S Maritimes, then freezing rain followed by rain NS. Total 20-40mm water equivalent: all snow N half NB; a sloppy mess NS. Back to snow Monday!

It's icy-sidewalk days like today in #Halifax/#Halisky that make me kinda regret not buying these boots when I saw them in #Reykjavik #Iceland back in 2018. (half-joking)

Looks like a somewhat messy day setting up for Thursday for most of NS. Halifax area likely looking at 5-10cm snow, changing thru ice pellets and freezing rain to showers /drizzle in the evening. A messy commute home for sure. Turning colder again Friday #Halisky #nsstorm
