WinSport Canada

I haven't read it yet.

We were having a skate at Winsport, a couple of the alumni boys, and we were talking about Daryl's fucking...

It says aggressive shinny, which is why I'm there.

I'm just a big target.

They, uh, they did their first practice with the team.

Uh, and then over at Winsport, the Calgary Wranglers had their practice.

Was, uh, the first practice for Connor Zary since being assigned there.

And I really go and encourage you to check out Danny Austin over at the Calgary Herald and the Calgary Sun.

Uh, he was down at Winsport.

He and Glenn Campbell were down there to chat with Zary after practice on Wednesday.

And, and Danny's the one who shared this conversation.

So this is Connor Zary, Jock.

It is a sort of a tried and tested program.

bottle throughout much of the league because obviously they've expanded to places that were not traditional hockey places but even in the traditional hockey places calgary is basically the most recent version of this the flames are getting a new arena as part of that new arena they're getting a practice facility similar to what the oilers did when they got their new building 10 years ago um the Flames have had a long-standing deal at Winsport, which is basically the facility that was built for the 88 Olympics, and they've been practicing it forever.

And that, in the end, was the difference with the Canucks, is that even the Canucks, who used to have a deal, let's remember, too, they used to have a deal out at Burnaby 8-Rink, it's now called Scotiabart, right off the highway there, on a deal that they signed 30 years ago, because they were recognizing, first of all, at the time, a lot of the players lived in Burnaby and kind of East Van, Now, obviously, players have shifted in terms of what they can afford and now tend to live in Yaletown or on the west side.

But in those days, it made sense.
