Here’s a picture of the most racist Canadian hockey team ever, The Swastikas.
No, not really.
Before it became associated with the Nazis, swastikas had been used for hundreds of years as a symbol of good luck and prosperity.   The Windsor Swastikas adopted the, now controversial, logo as early as 1905.   According to ancient people [...]

Where I’m from this is called getting Kronwalled.   Some might call it getting knocked the … you know … out.
North Dakota forward, Matt Frattin, absolutely destroyed Minnesota Gophers’ defenseman, Kevin Wehrs into the boards during North Dakota’s 4-1 victory over the Gophers.  The win, much like the hit did to Wehrs, knocked the Gophers [...]

Needless to say, this kid didn’t…or did…depending on [...]

When it comes to airline flight delays, some common causes you are likely to hear are weather conditions, or mechanical problems.  As for the least likely cause for a delay, we take you back to Vancouver for the 2010 Olympic Games, where an Air Canada flight was forced to remain on the ground because passengers [...]

“Skating on thin ice” is most often used as an idiomatic expression, but at Keystone Resort in Colorado, that was literally the case for one unlucky zamboni.
Performing its regular maintenance to the largest groomed skating pond in North America on Tuesday night, the 7000-pound ice cleaner was too much for the ice to handle, causing [...]
