PEI hockey players are proud and inspire each other
Gerard Gallant had Errol Thompson. Brad Richards had Gallant. Mark Flood and Adam McQuaid had Richards. Somewhere down the line there will be other hockey players from Prince Edward Island who will be inspired by McQuaid or Flood.

Moms on ice
Every Wednesday morning between October and March, Tanya Sheridan wakes up early and heads to Cody Banks Arena in Sherwood with a bag of hockey gear.

My favourite place on earth!
Here's a day to mark on your calendar. February 11, 2012. That's when

This wonderful island happens to be my favourite place on earth, so
getting a chance to spend a few days there while participating in a
remarkable event will surely be remarkable.
