Vancouver Police have concluded report on the riot after last Springs Stanley Cup playoff loss could have been prevented.  The report says there should have been more Police, better screening and it wouldn’t have hurt if the Vancouver goalie could have stopped a shot or two.

A U.S. judge has cleared the way for an Ohio woman to sue a Vancouver-based software company after naked video-chat photos of her were snapped without her permission.  The court was hearing the case as this was the 1st time naked pictures of a person other than an athlete, politician or groupie were involved.

40 women in BC have played the longest hockey game over a period of 10 days.  The game beat out a Leaf/Oilers exhibition game that was to be played until the 1st goal was scored.

What a week in the CFL with Regina beating Winnipeg, Edmonton upsetting Calgary and Hamilton pummeling Montreal.  Despite this the biggest upset of them all was later when the players received their game cheques.
