A year from now on this day, we'll be gearing up for puck drop on the NHL regular season. Puck drop for the 2026-27 season is tentatively scheduled for Sept. 29. Yes, it's 84 games, but it's a shorter camp/pre-season. And real hockey in September. Sign me up for that.

With great enthusiasm, I am thrilled to announce have entered the race to win the NDP nomination for Lethbridge West. I am the only candidate that can beat the UCP in the by-election and keep a strong voice in #yql on the issues that matter, like health care, CPP, & lass sizes.”

July 20th, 1969 is a date that stands high in my life – it was the day that we, together as one people, achieved the greatest scientific and technological feat in human history. The specific role that Neil, Mike and I performed in the event was but one part of an immeasurably larger effort – not just for our nation, but for all mankind. As I look back on what we accomplished 55 years ago, I am still inspired by what we all saw and did – the best of America and the best of humanity. Thank you for the privilege and the honor of serving you, and for being part of this exciting and wonderous journey with me. #Apollo11

As a Calgarian I’m thrilled to report that on Monday the Flames, city and province will officially start the building of the $926 million Event Centre with a sod turning event. I’m told design renderings will also be unveiled Monday, almost nine years after Ken King unveiled the team’s first vision of a new NHL arena. The 18,000-seat home of the Flames will also include a community rink, a parkade and an indoor and outdoor event plaza. It will be built two blocks north of the Saddledome, where the massive Cowboys tent is currently being dismantled. The hope is that construction will be completed in time for the 2027-28 season.

Graphic with Oliver Kylington's statement: I feel I’m in a good place with my mental health and ready to take another step forward. Returning to Calgary has been the right decision. I've felt tremendous commitment from Flames ownership, management, and my teammates, and I am appreciative of the support and resources made available to me. I also thank my family, friends, and the fans for their encouragement. I’m looking forward to getting on the ice in a team environment and back to my everyday life. I have missed it very much.
