Quebec Still Longs for Its Lost Hockey Team, a Nationalist Symbol

Quebec Still Longs for Its Lost Hockey Team, a Nationalist Symbol

Linked media - Linked media Mr. Simard spoke as he watched a game played by Quebec’s junior league team, the Remparts, at the Vidéotron Center — the pricey arena that provincial and city leaders built in 2015 with public funds to show the N.H.L. how committed they were to getting a team. But if fans of Mr. Simard’s generation tended to share his feelings toward the Nordiques, the team’s significance did not seem to resonate with younger hockey fans at the arena, many born after the team’s departure. “Me, I’m a fan of the Montreal Canadiens, whereas my father still…

Eli Manning’s popular ‘Chad Powers’ skit to be made into Hulu comedy series starring Glen Powell

Linked media - Associated media The name’s Powers. Chad Powers. And he’s coming (back) to a screen near you. Hulu ordered Eli Manning’s character “Chad Powers” to be made into its own comedy series, according to a company press release. Manning created and transformed into Powers for an episode of his docuseries “Eli’s Places” after Manning’s curiosity about the college football walk-on process led him to try out at Penn State under the pseudonym and disguise.

Ohtani’s Contract Goes Beyond Dollars and Sense

Ohtani’s Contract Goes Beyond Dollars and Sense

Connected media - Connected media Ohtani, though, is beating the Americans on their own terms. “He can hit a home run 500 feet and throw a ball 100 miles per hour, and he’s bigger and stronger than most Americans,” said Robert Whiting, who has written several books on baseball in Japan, including “You Gotta Have Wa.” Ohtani’s Ruthian contract might never have been signed if Nomo, Hideki Irabu and Alfonso Soriano hadn’t challenged Japanese restrictions on the movement of players in the 1990s. Nomo, for instance, retired from Japanese baseball so he could sign with the Dodgers, while Irabu pushed…

Baseball Has Grown in Bogotá, Colombia, Thanks to Venezuelan Migrants

Connected media - Connected media “Once you’re here, it doesn’t matter,” said Gabriel Arcos, a systems engineer who grew up cheering for a Leones rival in Venezuela and moved to Bogotá in 2016. “Maybe you don’t like the Leones of Caracas, but like I always say, these are the Leones of Bogotá.” Four years ago, when Iraida Acosta took over as president of the Leones, she said there were only six Venezuelan children.

Save money by traveling to these 9 places in winter

Here are lives at the intersection of fun and scary. One of my companions summed the whole experience up perfectly.

The science behind why no two snowflakes are alike

Fun, as you might imagine, was not how I would describe this adventure. Awesome? Yes. Fun? No. N.O. No way. But would I do it again?

Here’s lives at the intersection of fun and scary. One of my companions summed the whole experience up perfectly.
