2012, 2011, 2010, and 2009 are somehow lost...
It’s been asked of me, on more than one occasion, if my bike were a woman, what would she be like?
This has come up more than once; I guess a bit of background is in order. I’ve been entertaining a love affair with riding bikes ever since I’ve been young. From the neighborhood races up and down...
“One more run…”
These words, heard daily at ski hills everywhere, are the kiss of death for the adrenaline junkie. The words are common at local mountains such as Seymour Mountain, Cypress Mountain, Grouse, world famous Whistler / Blackcomb, and every other ski resort destination from here to...
Not again…
So here we are, part way through August, and the 2003/2004 soccer season looms about two weeks away. I don’t know about you, but my reaction when our team manager called me for training was, “Christ no…can’t the summer be an extra month longer?”
Yes, joy, joy, joy. Run, run, run...
So, my wife turns 30 this month…and she’s having a tough time. I’m turning 30 early next year too, and I have no problems with it.

Yes, its...
What I learned working for a “professional” baseball club at Nat Bailey Stadium last year:
How to get run from a game: Apparently there’s more to getting thrown out of a game than merely pulling a Lou Pinella (the tossing of cap) or the Lloyd McLendon (removing first base and taking it to the...

I used to think that people knew I played soccer, because they could always read about it.
All through youth, my name was constantly scattered throughout various publications of the Burnaby Now, mashed in between elementary school track meet results and 100m breaststroke qualifying times. Lord...
Let’s start with the biggest “merger” of the off-season, the oft-discussed Firefighters/Sportstown amalgamation. The impression the VMSL gave over the past few years was that buying a spot in a higher division, especially premier, would not be tolerated. The latest loophole (can you consider...
As regular season play comes to a close, TTP takes a closer look at the four VMSL teams left in the Imperial Cup semifinals, and how they’ll fare throughout the Imperial and Provincial Cup playdowns.

A couple of weeks back, on the Monday after Todd Bertuzzi signed his new contract, I tuned in to the TEAM at about 3:45 to catch the afternoon show.
Hosts Dave Pratt and Don Taylor, for whatever reason, were discussing football…on the day after arguably the biggest signing in Canuck history. In...
You could never buy a round with Pistol Pete in the house.
Peter Cedik was killed on Labor Day in a single vehicle motorcycle accident at about 11:15 in Langley. For those of you who didn’t know Pete, he was the young, tall, bony center midfielder for Slovan FC back when they were winning the...
