This week for my blog I will be researching on a company named Nike. You’ve probably heard of it but I will be telling you some things you may not of known about it, and reasons why they are  one of my favorite companies.

Nike headquarters is in Oregon, USA. They make a wide variety of things from clothes and shoes, to hockey equipment and water bottles. They have many stores across North America and are a very popular store. Various stores that their items may be found in are Sport Chek, Pro Hockey Life and the Nike store of course.

I really like their shoes and clothes because I find them very high quality and very comfortable. I really like their shoes especially because I almost always like the feel of them and are my favorite athletic shoe. I think maybe all except 2-3 years of my school years, I got shoes other than Nike. This shows just how much I like them. In total, I have 7 or 8 pairs of their shoes.

Some of their main competitors are Under Armour and Adidas. These are companies that also make very good sport clothes and shoes. The reason that I prefer Nike over these companies are they are a better price by a little bit and their stores are more popular and easier to find.

In conclusion, I really like Nike and I think that they are awesome. Here’s a link to their website.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nike,_Inc.

Hello everyone, this week for my blog I will be talking about my favorite hockey goalie, Carey  Price.

Carey Price is a  Canadian ice hockey goaltender for the Montreal Canadians. He was drafted back in 2005 by the Montreal Canadians and has been playing for them ever since. He was the goalie for Team Canada at the Olympics.

Some various awards that he has won in his career are the Vezina, a Olympic gold medal, a Ted Lindsay, a Hart trophy, a William M. Jennings trophy and many more. His team when he was playing for the hasn’t won a Stanley Cup yet. He has been a NHL all-star and made 8 NHL all star game appearances in the last 15 years.

I like him so much because he is a really good goalie and has been very kind to fans throughout his career. He plays for my second favorite team in the NHL so that also bumps him up my list. I really lie how he donates to charities and visit kids in hospitals to make their day.

One of my favorite moments from him is when at a awards show, they called on stage a kid whose mother had passed away. He gave a speech about his mother, they pretended that Carey wasn’t there but he was. He then came out and surprised the kid with a signed stick and a signed jersey. I thought this was a very nice moment from him and was very kind.

In conclusion, I really like  him because  he is an awesome goalie and an even better person. Here’s a link to even more facts about him.https://www.nhl.com/player/carey-price-8471679

Hello, this week for my blog, I will be doing it on a Canadian YouTuber that makes real life objects/weapons from movies, here’s some more facts about him and his projects.

James Hobson ( The Hacksmith ), was born on February, 10 1990, in Kitchener, Ontario. For a living, he has a warehouse and makes devices from movies such as multiple Thor hammers, multiple Captain America shields, Iron Man’s laser hand and much, much more.

Some of his more popular builds are his robotic arms that managed to lift an astonishing amount of weight that was a total of 3500 pounds! This was the main reason for many interviews about his channel and his work. This to me is insane, I cant believe that he could actually make something that could support that amount of weight. Another, was his real life lightsaber! This to me is even more cool than the arms.

A few of my favorite projects of his, are his…

3. Real life lightsaber

2. Iron Man laser hand

1.Real life jetpack

I really like his jetpack because even though it cant just fly around like in the movies, if you jump, it is powerful  enough to hold you off the ground for a second or two.

This is the end of my blog, and here’s a link to his YouTube channel if you are interested!https://www.youtube.com/c/theHacksmith

This week on my blog I will be talking about my thoughts on masks and all of this covid craziness.

First I’m going to be talking about masks. I personally hate masks and I’m pretty sure anybody else that you ask will have the same response. My favorite type of mask that my family has is either our spandex material one or these ones from Walmart that are adjustable to be able to fit a bunch of different sizes. I think that it is good for people to be wearing them to keep safe and protected from getting or giving the virus.

The second thing is the Coronavirus. The one thing that I hate more than masks, is the thing that caused us to wear these darn things. I am very sure that you know what it is unless you’ve been living under a rock. I really dislike this virus because we have to wear masks, keeps family and friends from getting together in large groups. But my very least favorite thing about Covid-19 is that people are actually dying from this.

We now have globally over 1 million deaths, and 36.5 million cases since the start back in late December. The top three worst countries right now for cases are USA in 1st, India in 2nd and Brazil in 3rd. Here in Canada we have 178k cases and 9583 deaths.

I really want this to stop so everybody has to do their part by wearing masks and physical distancing. Here’s a link to a website with more information on Covid-19.https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019

Hello, this week on my blog I will be talking about my thoughts and feelings on the 2020 Stanley cup finals.

If you haven’t already heard about the winner of the Stanley cup it was the Tampa Bay Lightning. This was their second franchise Stanley cup and their first was back in 2004. In the final round of the playoffs they defeated the Dallas Stars.

To make it to the finals Tampa Bay Lightning beat Columbus Blue Jackets, Boston Bruins and the New York Islanders. Dallas had to go through Calgary Flames, Colorado Avalanche and Las Vegas Golden Knights.

A few awards that were given to the Tampa Bay Lightning were the Stanley cup of course, the Conn Smythe, which was awarded to the MVP of the playoffs (Victor Hedman) and the Prince of Wales (eastern conference champions). I think that victor Hedman deserved the Conn Smythe because he was a very solid defenseman for the Tampa Bay Lightning throughout the entire playoffs.

Lastly I was happy to see them win the Stanley Cup because they were top of the league for a few years now, so I think they really deserved this title. Also last year they got kicked out and swept 4-0 in the playoffs first round by the wildcard team so that was embarrassing for them considering they were the best team that year. Here’s a link to the website that has more information on the playoffs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Stanley_Cup_playoffs
