the mad sports man

 Now Germany has unveiled their hockey uniforms for the men's and women's teams. I like them. What do you think?

  Edmonton and Red Deer will be hosting the 2027 tournament , Finland in 2028, and Quebec and Trois Riviers in 2029. Upcoming tournament is in Minneapolis and St Paul Minnesota . 

 The following athletes will be representing Canada at the Paralympics. They are: Ina Forrest, Mark Ideson, Collinda Joseph, Jon Thurston and Gil Dash.  Good luck in Italy.

 Panama, Curacao and Haiti have qualified for the world cup. We now have 42 in and 6 left. Those six will have their last chance to qualify at the end of March. That's when qualifying will end.

 Five more into the world cup. They are Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, Spain and Scotland. That is now 39 teams, with three more from North America tonight. Stay tuned.

 Germany and Netherlands are into the world cup, winning their respective groups. The German part of me is happy. 34 teams are now in and 14 left. 8 will qualify tomorrow to round out the window.  Stay tuned. 

 Wow that sure got interesting late. Saskatchewan had control most of the game and hung on to win 25-17 to win their 5th Grey Cup. Goal line stand with less than 3 minutes left was the difference. Congratulations to Saskatchewan.

 We can add Norway heading for the world cup. They also finished first in their group after beating Italy.  Norway is now team 32 to qualify. More tomorrow.

 Portugal has qualified for the world cup, winning their group.  31 in, 17 left. Stay tuned for more.
