responses were very positive and much appreciated.

I must admit, I am being drawn to Sportsnet each night and
watching NHL hockey. I never thought I would watch hockey in July /
August. Welcome to the new world.

I’m not sure what I think about the cardboard cutouts of people
popping up in the stands of MLB games.

I give the NHL full marks for the way they have returned to play.
Two Canadian Hub cities, controlled living arrangements for teams, and
well structured “Bubbles”. Compare this to the MLB and NFL where
teams are travelling to and from hotspot cities. I don’t see any advantage
of travelling when you are playing in empty stadiums, let alone the extra
exposure your players and staff are subjected to.
Come Out & Play With Us!
Many local minor sports associations are working hard to provide
some form of activities for the kids in their sport. A big shout-out from
Sports Energy News to all the volunteers who are working so hard in these
frustrating, uncertain times.

Congrats to Cornwall Mitsubishi on opening their new dealership
in Cornwall, located in the former Nissan lot at the corner of Brookdale
Avenue and 9th Street.
