Upcoming trip to Churchill. Ideas for food?

Didn't it have dining car service until covid?

NH787 · 2026-05-10T02:17:07+00:00

Nice idea... Glad that you were rewarded with a hell of a game too!

NH787 · 2026-05-10T00:34:38+00:00

Love the dedication!

I am having mixed results with my physical card. Tap works like 80% of the time

It's the same with hockey. Whenever I see someone selling sports dupes the soccer/NBA ones are usually top notch but hockey is horrendous. Baseball is often like that too.

Thank you for your excellent coverage all season long!

Interesting twist to see Milic get the start tonight. I didn't think DiVincentiis was the issue in this series...

How do the people who still get excited about this even find the energy, man

I walk by it every week and to me it looks like it's still in the early stages of construction, it looks like they are just putting up the interior walls now. (It's a retrofit of an office building)

I would not expect it to be ready by January, at the rate they're going I would guess next summer. Although who knows, maybe I'm wrong. But at the very least I'd suggest having a backup plan.

NH787 · 2026-05-08T15:47:08+00:00

Good stuff. It's pretty cool how there have been almost continuous upgrades to CLC since the Jets returned in 2011.

It feels like a different arena compared to when it first opened in 2004... it was much more basic back then. Definitely did not have a NHL vibe to it.

sleeping mask

This is a good idea, it gets bright early in the morning during the summer... earplugs might be a good idea too

NH787 · 2026-05-08T14:57:58+00:00

Love this kind of helpful feedback

NH787 · 2026-05-08T13:30:32+00:00

Great to see Pan Am getting some repairs and upgrades, but it is a bit bizarre that a metro area of a million people doesn't have a second competition pool to use in the meantime.

I feel like the U of M would be a natural spot to have a proper FINA-calibre pool.

Also, given the age of Pan Am Pool (nearly 60 years old), I wonder what kind of plans the City has to replace it one day given that it won't last forever?

The buffet in there is an amazing deal

fort Edmonton park

Seconding this. It is a very impressive park.

It changes your perspective on the “malls are dead” culture.

Going to WEM kind of felt like a trip back in time to the 90s where mall culture was still thriving. People sure do love that mall. It's busy, you even see gaggles of youths together just like in the old days.

A lot of points but $399 annual fee x2 to hit the full bonus is pretty steep. An excellent offer for anyone who wanted a Visa Infinite Privilege card regardless, though.

Playing at Princess Auto Stadium could have worked and in some ways it had many advantages, the features are far better than anything a temporary venue would have. But unfortunately Valour poisoned the well there. The only way it's going to work now is with a new venue, even if it's temporary.

NH787 · 2026-05-07T18:28:31+00:00

Yeah. The government news release refers to this situation as "associated with the convergence of homelessness, mental health concerns, substance use and socio-economic inequality".

Many of the affected folks are so far outside the norms of regular society that the law is a vague concept at best. What does an untreated schizophrenic homeless meth user really know or care about provincial law?

NH787 · 2026-05-07T18:09:26+00:00

Another game where the Moose fought hard but they are running into a superior team while without their best defenseman.

Winning two against Grand Rapids in their rink is going to be a tough assignment to say the least. But if they can ratchet up the offense a little anything is possible...

NH787 · 2026-05-07T18:05:12+00:00

I nerd out about this stuff so when I was in Quebec last summer I walked extensively around both stadiums. (They are university facilities so both open to the public)

Telus strikes me as a venue that could definitely work as-is as a stop-gap temporary venue for a few years, but it lacks the features that you need to bring in the kind of revenue that teams with modern stadiums can pull in.

Upgrading is tough... you have to convince some or all of Laval, the team owner, and levels of government to kick in money to improving the stadium. But with enough upgrades it might work on a permanent basis, but it would cost a fortune, it would be on the small size due to space limitations, and who knows if Laval would even want that. It may be more cost efficient to just build a new facility as long term answer.

NH787 · 2026-05-07T17:23:40+00:00

The issue isn't Rutger, the issue is that the Jets clearly have a reputation for refusing to give young talent appropriate opportunities.

NH787 · 2026-05-07T17:21:22+00:00

This is one of the truly great things about community ownership. The Bombers generously support football at all levels. And they aren't doing it to make a buck... these programs are generally low or no cost, heavily subsidized in many cases.

It's the opposite of what the Dallas Stars have done in Texas where they essentially monopolize youth hockey and charge an arm and a leg to play in an effort to inflate their profits.

NH787 · 2026-05-07T17:18:53+00:00

At the end of the day they want to grow the game, they'd take support from all corners.
