Canada Day 2014

What a great country to live in. We have so much to be proud of, the list would be endless.

I spent a day at the Burlington Waterfront with two amazing women.

                                       Patti enjoying some strawberries.

                                           Mom and me on the Pier.

It was a great day...and of course being a sports lover, I must update you on some great "feel good" sports news...most of which you already know.

Canada Day - Blues Jays win 4 to 1...the team has been struggling lately...but keep this in mind, we are still in first place.

World Cup Soccer - It has been such a great World Cup this year but alas, Canada is not in it...but I heard rumours we have that figured out: we are trying to host the event in 2026, and the host team gets to play. That is good sports management.

Wimbledon - 2014. I am loving Canadian Tennis right now. Milos Raonic won today to move on to the quarterfinals.

                                       Milos has an overpowering serve.

How about the Wimbledon sweetheart Eugenie Bouchard? - she combines skill, with incredible talent and is a fierce competitor. When she is interviewed - 100% class. She is Canadian through and through. She too has moved on to the quaterfinals. Go Genie!!

                                       Genie fights for every point. Love her.


However the big sports story on this Canada Day is Lacrosse. Patti and I are 9 days from heading to Denver to see my sister Laura and her great family, and I am playing Lacrosse with 22 amazing guys in the Grand Masters Division of the World Championships of Lacrosse. I cannot wait. Our team is the Molson Canadians. We have 11 teams in our division and competition is fierce. I like our chances though. A long list of lacrosse players that have been playing the game for a very long time.

Here is the link if you would like to check it out.  Denver 2014.

I will do some blogs to update you.

Lacrosse + Canada + World Championships = a really good time.

 

This was our team in 2010, Manchester England. We are younger and faster now so this time we should win the Gold. That is our goal.

 

Take care and Happy Canada Day!!
