Stars on Ice is on tour again. And it's also time for playoff hockey. Just having a look at the schedule for Stars on Ice makes me think how tough they must be having it. 12 cities in 20 days. That's more intense touring than the NHL players have been doing since the format's been revamped to intentionally reduce travelling.
I had the good fortune of making it to the event at Scotiabank Place (formerly Corel Centre) free of charge, volunteering. If you want to see Kurt Browning, Elvis Stojko, Jennifer Robinson, ..., this is the event not to miss. Lots of fancy moves, looks like lots of fun but definitely no less technically demanding than competitive figure skating.
Ottawa's slugging it out with Tampa Bay, Calgary with Anaheim, and we'll see how Montreal does again on Monday after thrashing Carolina 6-1. After the olympic disappointment both sides of the 49th parallel (largely due to the players' strike last year resulting in the lack of match practice, no?), the fans are back, all but Leafs fans. No, Toronto does not get to represent Canada in the competition for the Stanley Cup this year.
The removal of Corel's name from the arena in Ottawa continues the slow fade of a name that once faced off with Microsoft in the ring. But you know what? Corel is going IPO again, for the second time in its history. Don't believe me? Check out http://www.corel.com/ yourself.
