Yay Canada!

Miss Canada won Miss Universe! Yay! I knew she would.

A snippet of an article about the Sports Hall of Fame:

It was almost 33 years ago that time stood still across our land.
The streets of cities and villages were nearly deserted, as the nation sat in front of television sets or listened to radio broadcasts of the Canada-Soviet Union winner-take-all series in the deciding eighth game in Moscow of the Cold War hockey summit.
Then, with only a few seconds remaining, Paul Henderson whipped the puck behind the Soviets' brilliant netminder Vladislav Tretiak to end the dramatic shinny confrontation and give all proud Canadians a lot to cheer for by winning this nail-biter and the overall series.
For this unforgettable achievement, Team Canada 1972, its members such as Henderson, Phil Esposito and Ken Dryden will be inducted into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame on Nov. 2 at a gala dinner at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel.
