Tonight, my dodgeball team plays for the championship of the world. Well, it's the TCSSC dodgeball championships, and that's sort of like the championship of the world. We won the championship last season and tonight we go for the repeat. We'll be without our best female player because Jordy went
I spent yesterday evening at Berkeley Church on Queen Street East between Sherbourne and Parliament. I was there to witness two of my ball players exchange vows. Raging Storm, the slo-pitch team I manage and play for, used to be called Hooray For Everything. I'm a founding member of this

This afternoon, about two months after my right leg quit on me, I met with Dr. Grant Lum, MD, CCFP, Diploma in Sport Medicine. The dude acts as a consultant to the NHL Players' Association and he really seems to know his stuff. I told him my story, most of
Tonight, I played my second game of dodgeball this season. We lost the first game last Tuesday but tonight we destroyed the competition. I thought I'd share my thoughts of the game of dodgeball now that I've had some seasoning. First and foremost, dodgeball is hard on your throwing arm.
I've never played dodgeball, but I've seen the movie. It looked like a lot of fun, and soon I shall see. I've joined a dodgeball league. My first game is tomorrow night, so today I hit the web to learn the rules. I learnt about the opening rush, the 5-second
