The Year of the Tiger roared into Mississauga on Saturday evening to the loud drums and cymbals of a lion dance at the Fo Guang Shan Temple in Meadowvale.

Team China's Qi Xueting collides with the Mississauga Junior Chief's Jordyn Denny enroute to China's 4-1 loss to the Chiefs Sunday at Iceland arena in Mississauga. This exhibition game was China's fourth of six games against Ontario Women's Hockey Association teams as a warmup to the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
Team China’s olympic women’s hockey team could not penetrate the great wall of Mississauga as the Mississauga Junior Chiefs downed them 4-1 at Iceland arena on Sunday.
The video re-enactments are hilarious. Check out the re-enacted phone call at 0:40.
It’s always nice to have these on the wall. It’s always nicer to help others hang them on their walls.
One of hockey’s greats got his number retired today by the Mississauga St. Michael’s Majors hockey team. He gets the distinction of being the first Major to have his number retired.
It must be pretty cool to have your name and number remembered for eternity. Well, eternity being the lifespan of the club. The Majors, being one of the more storied clubs in history, are destined to be around for a long while.
These kids move like fish in water! It was one of those last minute jobs where I get assigned as I am preparing to head out to another job. However, the calibre of these kids made it an easy one to shoot, not to mention arriving during the medley race made for a great variety of shots!
To top it off, this boy, Victor Truong, qualified for the provicials during that heat according to his coach Andreas.
Quick and easy, off to the next job. I had a few good pictures of the girls, but this was the most relavent picture.
The Mississauga St. Michael Majors end up with a triumphant weekend, winning three games in three days and showing no signs of fatigue in this last game against the Frontenacs.
Coming out hitting hard, these Majors end up with yet another 7-4 win at home. This time, they outshot their opponents 42-41.
Not to take away from their play, they did an excellent job of taking the body and showing energy, but the opponent goalies also were really shaky.
However, if they keep up the great job they did this weekend, they will go far this season! They definitely didn’t disappoint and I was well entertained while working!
Niagara IceDogs’ goaltender Mark Visentin looks on helplessly as the puck sails past him. The puck hit the back of the net seven times between Visentin and starting goaltender John Cullen.
It was refreshing to shoot and watch a game where not only the Majors won, but they demolished the IceDogs with a score of 7-4. All that despite being outshot 38-29.
The last Majors game I shot was seriously lacking in energy. In fact, the game and lack of energy made me really sleepy shooting it. This one however, had big hits, lots of shots on net and a lot better puck movement. The players really looked like they were alert and trying to play.
I shoot the next one on Sunday. Hopefully it’ll be as awesome as this one!
Mississauga Chiefs captain Sommer West dekes out Vaughn Flames goalie Stephanie Lockert as the Chiefs defeated the Flames 11-3 at the Hershey Centre on Thursday, December 11, 2008.
That was goal number five for the Chiefs who doused the Flames with ease.
I was looking for a shot that was not quite a goal shot and came up with a few. I will pose some of those in due time!
I got to see the Ruffriders volleyball club in action and it changed my entire expectations of players in the sport. Somehow, seeing the setter suddenly hop and spike the ball was something so cool.
The Humber Hawks were pretty good, but the Ruffriders were just amazing!
While I thought the ROPSSA teams were good, these guys were just so much better! It inspires me to want to play volleyball.
On November 21, Steve Molitor met more than his match. Right off the opening bell, he was totally out classed by the Panamanian WBA fighter and lost his IBF title. Watching him fight the last four matches, I have to say that under Chris Johnson, he was quite the defensive fighter. Under his new trainer, he was a little bit more aggressive in his last fight. Unfortunately for Molitor, Cabellero was quite a bit out of Molitor’s league.
The second last picture, it was between the two heavy weights. The ring shook every time they stepped forward to punch. It was awesome! I think Olubawale is 6′7″, 270 lbs. It’s like watching a pro wrestler more than a “boxer”. That guy is a monster!
