A few weeks ago my family and I went to see the Harlem Globetrotters play at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga. While it was my first time seeing them, my husband has seen them a few times himself when he was a young “lad.” He was reminiscing about how he remembers the Globetrotters being the […]
Is the violence in professional hockey impacting our kids?
