The Calgary Hitmen of the CHL opened the month with a bang with their annual teddy bear toss night. Reportedly, over 26,000 stuffed animals were thrown to the ice after the Hitmen’s first goal, which broke last year’s record. It has really become a great tradition in all of hockey if you ask me.

Sean Leahy has a clever response as usual in light of Amazon using drones for home deliveries:

Stat of the day

0-2: The record of Rob Ford supported teams when the embattled Toronto mayor attends football games inside the Rogers Centre.

Oh, and your team may have a similar fate as the Argos and Bills.

For something completely different

The legend known as Ron Burgundy can add curling commentary to his impressive resume as he joined TSN for “Roar of the Rings” at Winnipeg. No one immediately regrets this decision, either.
