Hi everyone...

Does anyone know of any professional or elite(ish) athletes who are part of a United Church community?  Can be either past or present.

I'm thinking of doing a youth workshop/event and sharing some stories of faithful United Church folks who participate in the sports world.

Surely there's some NHL or CFL or Olympic (or other) connections in this big church of ours.  Any help you can offer is great.

Peace.

 I know this is one of my most controversial posts. I am coming out and admitting that I am praying for cold weather. You see my favorite activity is skating on the Rideau Canal.

When I lived in Ottawa in 1970-72 the canal would be open in December. Now we are lucky if it opens by the middle of January. Soon we will not be able to skate on the canal at all.   So pray for extremely cold

For the past several years, many here in the west have come to the conclusion that there is something wrong in how the NHL conferences are dispersed. Or that there is the inevitable and unsolvable problem of social-geography - it is easier to travel in the east coast because of the lack of distance compared to the western conference (ie. how many teams are between Montreal and Washington, D.C. compared to the huge geographical difference between Vancouver, Edmonton, and Dallas, etc.).

Maple Leafs = losers

Raptors = losers

Blue Jays = losers

Why are all the Toronto teams such losers? (somebody will have to fill me in about the Argos, Toronto FC, Rock, etc. as I don't follow these teams.)

My 15-year-old boy doesn't like church much, finds Sunday school boring, and can barely sit still during the worship service.  What he loves is playing sports and running around outside.  I'd like to connect him to a christian sports organization but haven't been able to find one in Canada yet.  Tried Athletes in Action but it hasn't really worked for us.  Anyone know of other christian sports groups for teen agers?
