Princes Island Park in Calgary
Princes Island Park is a small island which is separated from downtown Calgary by a small strip of water from the Bow river. There’s lots of wild life, greenery and picnic areas to enjoy.

Intramural Finals
Here’s some videos from the finals of the University of Calgary Intramural B-grade and A-grade non-contact hockey leagues.
First up are the Stubble Jumpers (the winners). I often played at lunch time with a bunch of these guys and they were pretty pumped to win the B-grade.

The next video is of the A-grade. The white team is the “individuals team” which my friend Janay Magowan played for who also won
Janay is the short fast one with the yellow socks.

Jenns Video
Thanks to Jenn Yamagishi for making this video for me
It’s of me and two of my inline hockey team mates Christian van Eaden and Steve Pelzer playing ice hockey at Arcadia Arena and in SE Calgary.
The week before, my team mate Janay Magowan and I caught the train down south and walked to the arena. Erm, it turned out to be somewhat further away than we thought
So luckilly Steve offered me a lift the week after

Team Group Velocity
Somehow I managed to end up on the University of Calgary physics hockey team! They were short on players so I signed up and dragged along Janay with me. We had the stunningly geeky name of “Team Group Velocity”. The team was a hotch potch of various levels. We competed in the University of Calgary Intramural B-grade hockey league.

Outdoor hockey in Tuscany
I played in a social outdoor ice hockey tournament in Tuscany, Calgary with some guys I met at the Olympic Oval a while back. Event was great, ice wasn’t the best as a chinook (easterly wind) was blowing through, but it was a heap of fun and I hope to compete in an event like this again some time.

Olympic Oval
The Olympic Oval at the University of Calgary is the best ice rink I’ve ever seen! Two full international sized hockey rinks within the confines of a full long track speed skating rink!
I played hockey there at lunch times a lot and I had power skating and hockey lessons there as well. Plus I played in the University of Calgary B-grade Intramural hockey league for Team Group Velocity (I was a ring-in for the Physics department team).

Skating in the Rockies
For Christmas, my friend Mike Boyle took me ice skating in the Rocky Mountains
The weather was great, well as great as minus 20 degrees can be, and there was HEAPS of ice. Unfortunately there was a tad too much snow to make skating viable.
