She is such a bada$$. (apologies for the language Sister).

There are so many other awesome examples of the amazing and diverse people I've met through my job. From our Olympic athletes to the cancer survivors racing for charity, triathlon really has so many great stories to share.

Tough loss for Toronto FC soccer. Geesh, what a great season, too bad it had to end in a shoot out to determine the win. It's been so exciting and a lot of fun along the way.

Congrats to Seattle Sounders!

Anyone follow March Madness? How’s everone’s Bracket?
I didn’t fill one but so happy my Wolverines advanced to Elite Eight Go Blue!

Sorry I just cannot cheer on your Wolverines. Just isn't in my Buckeye blood to do so rofl

Didn't fill out a bracket this year but man it is certainly madness! Mine would have been busted because I've always had a soft spot for Gonzaga and after they beat the Buckeyes I was hoping they'd go all the way.

I'll have to see how tonight shakes out before I decide who to root for going forward although I'm thinking how cool it would be for the winner of Kansas State/Loyola-Chicago to go to the finals!

Hail to the victors! We are heading to the National championship!

This is such a sad day for Junior Hockey and hockey fans. The unimaginable. These kids live away from their parents to play the game they love with hopes and dreams of getting into the NHL. My heart is so heavy and sad today for all their families and friends.

@GuardianAngel

My heart hurts so much all of today. I am an emotional blubber baby.

I cannot even imagine (well i kind of can) what the families and friends are going through. I am just numb and so so sad.

We feel this stuff really hard here and I wish there was something I can do.

by **GuardianAngel** Mon Apr 09, 2018 10:00 pm

@nikikass me too. It's been non stop for me reading updates. It can't get any worse than mixing up between one deceased and one who actually survived. God how horrible for the families.

I don't have anymore hockey sticks after my son moved out otherwise I'd #PutYourStick out.

I've lit a candle every night. Feel so helpless.

by nikikass Mon Apr 09, 2018 11:15 pm

I have my sticks out. And found a Tim Hortons hockey puck too.

It’s nice to see all around the world doing this.

The mix up was awful i cant even imagine that. Holy crap.
