Axmen Undefeated in the Preseason

2007-05-11T14:44:00.000-06:00

Well the Axmen made it through the Pre season undefeated. We tied the T-Wolves and beat the 66ers.

Looks to be a good season coming up.

Introducing the 2007 RSFL Axmen

2007-04-23T12:46:00.000-06:00

#	Last	First
22	Boughen	Ryan
24	Brown	Danny
21	Grubb	Landon
99	Knight	Michael
89	Linton	Randy
18	Seguin	Robert
32	Stevens	Joel
10	Stulberg	Jacob
8	Thomson	Lyle
88	White	Braden
7	Wolf	Jamie
73	Yanko	Ryan

This team looks to be a good one, however they have a lot to accomplish if they want to meet the expectations the 2006 edition left behind. Returning from 2006 are Mike Knight, Jacob Stulberg, Braden White and Jamie Wolf.

The newcomers have a lot to make up but they definitly have the potential.

All going for the championship again in 2007.

LETS GO AXMEN

Regina Pats Vs. Swift Current Broncos

2007-03-21T12:38:00.000-06:00

Sorry, been forever since I posted and well I am only posting this now because I am avoiding doing homework. (see prior post)

Anyways, this morning I picked up tickets for games 1 and 2 of the WHL Eastern Playoff matchup between Highway #1 Rivals Regina and Speedy Creek. Should be a good matchup, Regina has been hot the entire second half while SC has been crazy good the last 2 weeks beating teams such as Medicine Hat handily.

My prediction on the series is that the Pats take it in 6. The Pats a fantastic at home and I expect them to win one game on the road.

See ya at the Brandt Center on Friday.

Silence before the Storm

2007-03-05T16:41:00.000-06:00

This week is the silence before the storm for me, NOTHING in due in any of my classes. However I look to the ol' Calendrier and I see 9 major assignments due in the month that follows this week.

I am not looking forward to any of that, I did however take a some time to get organized today for the coming weeks.

Should be interesting......I have the football season to look forward to once all of this stuff is done.

Hits in China?

2007-03-01T10:21:00.000-06:00

What is with the hits to my blog from China, France, and what looks like Saudi Arabia? Ex pats from the 306?

Really shows the power of the internet I guess when people in China are checking out KK and the RSFL!

Anyways.....1 mid-term down today.......1 to go.

Kenton Keith

2007-03-01T00:43:00.000-06:00

KK left us this off season signing with the Indianapolis Colts of the NFL. I truly wish him the best of luck down in the NFL but selfishly hope he comes back to the Green and White.

Here are a few videos of KK in action for those of you who don't know who he is and for the rest of us to remmeber!

So fast, so quick....you have to love Darren Fluties comment "You have heard the saying "He just broke someones ankle with that move" well I think Kenton Keith just broke someones ankle with that move!"

Mid-Terms

2007-02-28T13:07:00.000-06:00

What is up with mid-terms? Who needs them?

Yes, I am currently engaging myself in the wonderful world of Indigenous Studies and Canadian Geography!

I have 3 mid terms this week, I am already done one but I mean just after the break and they want us to remember all of this content? Why not have them before the break? That's what I would prefer. Anyways......back to the books for me.

NHL Trade Deadline

2007-02-27T11:25:00.000-06:00

Some pretty decent moves have occured today with with NHL deadline. I have heard the likes of Biron, Guerin, Roberts, Laroque have been moved and that even a guy like Jagr is available for the right price today (back to Pittsburgh?)

Update: Wow, The Edmonton Oilers have traded their pride and joy Ryan Smyth to the New York Islanders. To be honest I think it is a great trade for both teams, the Oil has no chance in the playoffs this year and they picked up alot of youth by dumping Smyth. It was rumoured Smyth wanted a 5 year 25 million dollar contract...thanks but no thanks Ryan.

Update #2: Well lots of ativity today, I would have to say that the biggest deal was that of Ryan Smyth to the Islanders followed closely by the Guerin deal to the Sharks.

It is really shaping up to be one hell of a fight in the West and looks like the Sabres and Sens are the likely candidates to represent the East this year and hoist Lord Stanleys Cup!

Anyways here is another blog that is outstanding today, Jay Onrait's TradeCenter blog over at www.tsn.ca

RSFL!

2007-02-26T14:46:00.000-06:00

The 2007 RSFL Season is on the horizon! The season officially starts on April 15th with the Draft. It looks as if we will once again have 8 teams in the league this year, however captains are needed for two teams (Big Tymerz and 66ers). Both captains were unable to stay on as captains this year. Preferably we are hoping to have the new captains of these teams be players that played on those teams last year.

Fees have been up to $50 this year to cover jerseys, equipment, prizes and the running of www.riderfans.com and www.riderfans.com/league

If you are looking to sign up join here: http://www.riderfans.com/league/index.php

Of course this league is played in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. Most games are on Sundays with a few on holiday Mondays!

The 2006 season was a blast that was won by my team the Axmen! we finished with a 14-2 record and then went on a run to the final beating the Heat and the Shotgun Draws along the way!

Been A While

2007-02-26T14:43:00.000-06:00

Wow, first post since November 27th....good work on keeping up with this blog eh!

Anyways, I am throwing in a meaningless post here. I think I am going to try and start posting things on here at the very least weekly.....the posts will mainly be of sports I'm assuming and then the odd rant as well....even a few personal things from time to time.

Snow = Bad Drivers

2006-11-27T23:02:00.000-06:00

Well it took me all of 4 minutes to think of my first rant:

What is with people in Regina, and well people everywhere that when a little snow falls on the ground 90% of drivers driving ability goes to shit? Seriously comming home from school today, at 9PM, I had 6 seperate vehicles cut me off or drift into my lane, and that doesn't include the asshole who was still cruising at 100KM/H at the Pasqua intersection when everyone was just getting going on a green light. Does this person not have the capacity to look ahead and see that people are not moving and then realize he or she should SLOW DOWN?

I by am no means saying you need to go 20 on the Ring Road or anywhere for that matter but seriously it is slippery out there, SLOW DOWN. Luckily I was just able to get enough traction to move forward and out of this assholes way. Hopefully his steering went to shit when he slammed into the curb from slamming on the brakes. Which begs the question, how long did it take him to realize he was not going to stop on time and then decide to slam on the brakes? I mean the weather was terrible out, he surely had to be paying attention while he ws driving.

It's kind of ironic that when I came home and turned on the TV the season finale of "Canada's Worst Driver" was on Discovery. I wish I had gotten this guys plate so I could nominate him for next seasons show.

However my problems do not lie solely with this individual, why is it that just because people don't see the lane lines, due to a little snow, they simply drive wherever they want? I mean the 13 year olds I am teaching right now could easily figure out where to drive, why can't people who have supposedly passed a test do it? Speaking of tests, there should be a rule that people need to take their road test in both the Winter and Summer. I know that lots of people purposely wait until the summer to go because they know they can't drive in the winter.

Also with the snow, if people at the University decide to park like idiots again this winter I might lose it.

END RANT

First Post

2006-11-27T22:57:00.000-06:00

Well, this is my first post in the blogging world. To be honest I never thought I would ever have a blog but then in my EPS200 class at the U of R today we had a guest speaker talking about current technology and how to use it as an educator and blogs came up. I think that these can be a powerful tool and so I started one up.

What do I entend on having on my blog? I don't even know, maybe some rants, some you tube videos I find funny, and well anything really. This isn't going to be an educational blog, yeah I thought about starting it up because of a class but really I just want it to be a place to write about anything and everything that I want.
