This seems to be the big one as the Calgary Stampeders are in Montreal to play in the Grey Cup this Sunday. This seems to be the big one as the Calgary Stampeders are in Montreal to play in the Grey Cup this Sunday. This is Canada’s Super Bowl but the cup is older -96 years to exact, we have less downs and bigger fields that are often covered with snow. This year the game is indoors as Montreal has a beautiful stadium left over from the Olympics in 1976. It should be fun to watch and we will have 3 generation together as my wife’s parents are having our family over to cheer on the Stamps together.
Tonight it is the NHL. Flames against the 2008 champions Detroit Red Wings. We are again lucky enough to get to the games as my same in-laws own season tickets and pass them our way when available. Go Flames go!
Finally my son and I will be in the Mountains tomorrow from 10 am till 3 pm to do our first on snow Biathlon training of the year. There is not much snow and the weather is warm, but it will be a beautiful day in the Rockies.
Three different sports events and one thing is in common with each. The Flames, the Stamps, and even Foothills Nordic ski club, is that they all use simple balance training gear to keep athletes healthy and challenged. Yep, these are the same active discs and wobble boards you will find in the local gym or rehab center. It is not a big surprise to me only because Balance products, a lot like tooth brushes are important to everyone from superstars to raising stars. Balance maintenance is important and in all these great sport this weekend, athletes of all levels will hopefully prevent injuries and have a little more success thank to well maintained balance skills.
