Carey Price has millions in the bank, a beautiful wife, adorable kids, an Olympic Gold Medal, Vezina trophy & much more, but is taking a break from hockey to work on himself. Goes to show, you never know who is going thru something. Don’t ever feel bad if you need some help 👊🏻❤️
The lady across the road is alone this Thanksgiving, her husband, a veteran of this great country was recently admitted to a home. My boy wanted to make sure she was loved on Thanksgiving so he brought her a plate of Turkey 💕. Happy Thanksgiving
9 Flames players now in Covid protocol (3 added this am). Does Jason Kenney really announce loosened restrictions for Alberta today?! The timing could not be any worse
It’s truly amazing in a country the size of Canada, geographically one of the largest in the world, all we care about right now is these young men, their coaches & families, & this deadly stretch of highway

Calgary is a Covid fire right now. Higher than India per capita. New measures are great, but it’s up to us. We need to do this. We’re all sick of this, I know, it’s been 13 months but we really have to suck it up if we want to have a summer. We. Got. This ❤️🙏🏻
My son went for a bike ride in Kananaskis today, but turned around when he said a Bobcat jumped in his way on the path. Here’s a picture of the Bobcat he described making a screeching noise 🤦♂️
200 Full size chocolate bars & many cases of coke. I don’t care if you’re 2 or 200. Come get ‘em! Halloween is a special day & all are welcome at my house 🎃👻
Monahan sitting likely for the 1st time in his life. That’s really hard.
Before you say how much he deserves it Sean has been great for this community for a long time. Son & I met him b4 a game in Phx a few years ago. He couldn’t have made him feel more special. Guy is all class
I just had an unbelievable conversation with my kid. I asked him what he would do if police ordered him off the outdoor rink while enjoying some exercise & taking care of his mental health. He said he would get off no questions asked. What a world we live in.

A very public divorce

Thought he would never play golf ever again.
This was one of the greatest moments in sports. Congrats, Tiger! 🐅

You guys are the most beautiful family on earth. You are so loved by all of us and this city feels crushed along with you guys. ❤️. If there’s anything you need, I know there’s over a million of us at the ready
Special & deserving moment before the
@nhlflames
game tonight as the team pays tribute to former Flames executive Ken King.
Ken was a dear friend, a visionary & always wanted what was best for the city he loved so much.
This is the first Flames home game since his passing ❤️
Whether the 14 year old that died of Covid on the weekend had pre-existing health conditions or not, a 14 year old in the prime of their life was taken way too early. A family & friend group left crushed to pick up the pieces. Please don’t try & explain why. It hurts either way
Just to be clear, if you have a teenager in Alberta, they can go work their retail job in the mall no problem, but to be safe please don’t send them to school or to play sports. I give up trying to figure this stuff out 🤷🏻♂️
18 new deaths in Alberta in the last 24 hours is crushing!! I can now confirm that this was definitely NOT the best summer ever. Condolences to everyone who’s lives were changed forever by this 💔
39 years ago we learned the definition of selfless, as one of Canada’s greatest ever, Terry Fox, ran a marathon a day for 143 days on one leg. He did it for you. He did it for us. A true Canadian Hero ❤️ 🇨🇦
This guy is high risk for Covid 19. Over the age of 65 & battling prostate cancer. Like many, he had a rough year. His life was very sheltered, & isolated from many.
This guy is my dad, and what kept him going was to one dad hug his grandkids again. Today he got his vaccine ❤️
Doctors, nurses, all healthcare workers, shout out to you. You’ve been at this for 19 months, dealing with more sickness & deaths than you ever signed up for. Throw in wage rollback threats, protestors & everything else. Thank you for your awesomeness each & every day ❤️
When they’re calling for hail in Calgary & your son just bought a car with every penny he has in this world, protect it with your life.

Kids can’t play team sports where there’s been zero outbreaks, but partiers who are spreading Covid might get a warning soon. Please tell me how this makes sense 🤷🏻♂️

I see a lot of judgy pants on social media shaming people for jumping the cue & getting a vaccine. By simply looking at someone, there’s no way to tell if they’re high priority or not. Failing that, any vaccine in the arm of anyone is further protection for all of us 😊
Incredible hockey talent, a beautiful family. The family was all together for his sister’s wedding tonight. Johnny Gaudreau seemed to have it all until him & his brother Matt were taken by a drunk driver last night. Life is so fragile. Hug your family. This sucks 💔

Jays have been living in a suitcase with no fixed address the past couple years being booed at “home” playing in front of pro Yankee crowds, but go on about the Jays getting all the breaks
People were wearing masks long before this pandemic. We didn’t make fun of them then, no reason to now. If you still want to wear one, great. If you don’t, give ‘er. Let’s all just be kind to each other
If Canada Post can consistently & reliably deliver me flyers every single day, would it then not be plausible to deliver Canadians Rapid Test kits?! 💭 🤔

Losing your job sucks. I’ve been there. Especially when it’s one you’re super passionate about & have a family to feed. Glen Gulutzan is probably pretty broken right now & is a really good man. Please have a little sensitivity in your posts.
Today we hugged Chris for the last time and said goodbye as he went to give four people the gift of life by donating his kidneys, liver and lungs. We are deeply broken and deeply proud. In life and in death, Chris never stopped giving. We walk forward with his light guiding us.

These kids from Canada are crushed. They feel like they let you down & let each other down. Not a chance. These young men are still teenagers, don’t forget that, & I couldn’t be more proud of these kids & our country. 🇨🇦❤️
Amazing job,

Guy wearing mask & gloves going thru the Starbucks garbages as I was in drive thru. He said he just lost his job & fears not being able to provide for family soon. It’s all I had on me & it breaks my heart. The world needs more kindness right now we’re all going thru something ❤️

His wish list included all kinds of stuff. Instead of figuring out what to buy him, my son & I just bought everything on his list. Hoping to take away his loneliness even for one day He deserves it ❤️🌲

Hey friends, with today’s announcement that restaurants etc won’t be open anytime soon, it’s important we support local now more than ever. We do take out once a week from a local place. Restaurants are suffering, if we want them to be there after Covid please support now 🙏🏻
Did Federal Government mess up in slow rollout of vaccine?! Maybe. Did our Provincial Government mess up handling Covid 19?! Maybe. Bottom line, this isn’t a competition. We need each other more than ever without always blaming everyone else. Can we not work together?! Rant over
My buddy Kevin is at Rockyview Hospital having emergency surgery & needs a clean driveway to come home to. Many people in our city need our help today.

There’s too much debate on how old is too old to trick-or-treat. To that I say, I hope you do it forever. I don’t care if you are 2 or 202, you’re always welcome at my house. 200 full size chocolate bars & cases & cases of coke. Come get it!! Happy Halloween ❤️🎃👻
You might see a guy with millions in the bank, massive trophy case, beautiful family, playing a sport lots of us dreamed of playing
No such thing as a perfect life. Months of rehab later from substances & mental health, he’s back.

If kids ask why can’t go to school to see friends or can’t play sports ask yourself if you’ve done enough. It’s adults that ruin it for kids.
Adults that knowingly break rules are prolonging it. We’re all sick of doing nothing but doing nothing for a bit longer is only way out.
I’m not sure if this makes it more real or more heartbreaking. This is Darcy Haugan, Head Coach of the Humboldt Broncos & his beautiful young family. Sadly, Darcy is one of the 14 confirmed dead. Our entire hockey family are praying for you

Our neighbour is alone this Christmas, her husband is in the hospital. My son wanted to make sure she wasn’t alone & wanted her to feel loved 💕. She cried when he brought it over.

I’m kinda confused by the choice by government of what’s being targeted. Sports shut down but the same kids are still at school with friends. So in 2 weeks when (or if) sports come back, absolutely nothing changes. Other than our kids missed two weeks of sports 🤷🏻♂️🤔
