It was goose bumps seeing Canada walking out. I haven't seen that in my lifetime. It was surreal. This time around he will again be at home but also very much at the heart of the action in two cities that are dear to him.

Shoreline Lake, in Mountain View, is holding its third annual Sail-A-Dinghy-Day on Sunday, April 12th, from 10am to 4pm. Visitors to "Silicon Valley's best kept secret" will get access to free skippered sailboat rides, helmed by the Boathouse's experienced instructors, as well as other Welcome-to-Sailing activities.

I think we're on track to successfully host the World Cup. And we're really proud about all of the preparations here and we're looking forward to showcasing the city and the province and Canada on the global stage.

The U.S. has won only two the last a long 46 years ago, when an underdog American squad upset the Soviet Union in 1980's "Miracle on Ice." Today, the Americans aren't such underdogs anymore. But this generation of American stars including team captain Auston Matthews, star goaltender Connor Hellebuyck, and the Tkachuk brothers Matthew and Brady still lack a signature win to prove they belong with the best.

At the curling station in the gymnasium, students pushed forward little benches on wheels that they use in gym class instead of using curling stones. The school also created a scoreboard. "Not everything is perfect," Robin said. Upstairs, there was an ice fishing station, where the school set up cardboard boxes with white construction paper meant to look like snow on the outside. It magnetized fish and seals and put them inside.

The Crave show, which follows closeted pro hockey rivals-turned-lovers Shane Hollander (played by Hudson Williams) and Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie), has seemingly sent the entire world into " mass psychosis." HBO, which acquired the show for US distribution, is now playing it in well over a dozen countries and says viewership has more than doubled since the finale. In short, it's broken a bunch of records.

The annual Transition Bikes work trip to some of the wildest terrain in Washington state looked like a wicked fun time, and this video shares all the hootin' and hollerin' that went down in one of the best places on earth to ride a bike. From fireside brews, dark dirt, good grub, and all the camaraderie you'd expect from a bunch of hooligans out in the woods on bikes,

Enter Heated Rivalry (Saturday 10 January, 9pm, Sky Atlantic), a Canadian queer romp so hot it threatens to scorch the ice it skates upon. Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are star players from Montreal and Moscow respectively, mysteriously drawn to each other on the rink, in the full glare of the media. Well, not that mysteriously. The co-leads get down to business almost immediately, with a not-quite meet cute in a shower room.

Over the course of the twelve-year gap between Olympic appearances, the NHL has drastically evolved. Most of the legendary trios of the 2010's, namely Drew Doughty-Dustin Brown-Anze Kopitar of the Los Angeles Kings and Duncan Keith-Patrick Kane-Jonathan Toews of the Chicago Blackhawks, have drifted apart in some form. Superstars Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews, in addition to future stars Macklin Celebrini and Connor Bedard, got drafted into the league.
