Something has got to give by Meagan Thibeault
January 14, 2009
Imagine the economy is a balloon and money is air. Now recall that impulsive kid at the party that always had to impress everyone by blowing up the biggest balloon. Although that kid never disappointed, someone was always left crying at his expense. Pop. At some point, something’s gotta give.
Businesses and politicians are always insisting that the economy must grow. This philosophy is what kicked off our present financial crisis with the credit crunch. Financial advisors sat down with naive new home buyers and with a mischievous smile, knowingly doled out loans that were impossible to repay.

Pets can be friends too by Thomas Hurst
January 14, 2009
Having a pet can be time consuming, and often stressful. Training the young puppy to go outside, cleaning up after that pesky bird who somehow manages to get more food outside the cage than it consumes, or dealing with the smell left behind by hamsters, guinea pigs, and rabbits. These are just a few of the issues pet owners deal with on a daily basis.
Despite it all, pets remain popular. There’s often a connection between owner and pet that few can describe. My connection exists with dog. My sisters named him Pal because when he was a puppy he looked like the dog from the kids television show, Arthur and he’s been just that to me ever since.

The Great Hockey Debate by Mark Millard
January 14, 2009
The tragic death of a young hockey player has sparked a debate throughout the hockey world.
Once again, for what now seems like a yearly argument, the question has been raised: Should fighting be allowed in hockey?
Don Sanderson, a 21-year-old hockey player on the Whitby Dunlops Senior AAA team, passed away after being in a coma for three weeks.
The coma resulted from an on-ice fight, where Sanderson lost his helmet, fell and hit his head on the ice, knocking him unconscious.

2005 team the best by Corey Johnson
January 14, 2009
The International Ice Hockey Federation’s Under 20 World Junior Championship has always been a special tournament for me.
Every year on Boxing Day it begins, and for two weeks I am treated to amazing hockey in its purest form.
These kids are not playing for big contracts and superstardom, but instead for their teammates and their country.
The tournament ended just over a week ago, with the result being a familiar one: Canada winning gold.

Womens vollyball team visits Cuba by Thomas Hurst
January 14, 2009
After a perfect 10-0 start to the season, the Humber Hawks women’s volleyball team spent a portion of their holiday break in Cuba for an exhibition tournament against some of the country’s top teams.
The teams they went up against were coached by former Cuban national players and some of the teams featured players currently playing on the Cuban national team.
“It opened our eyes to a different style of competition and gave us the opportunity to get away while facing some quality competition,” Head Coach Chris Wilkins said.
