As a Canadian, we all grew up watching Don Cherry on "Hockey Night in Canada." He is a proud Canadian with a no-holds-barred take on the "Coach's Corner" on CBC television. He is an AHL hockey legend, a wildly eccentric coach of the Bruins who, in my opinion, made hockey better by encouraging a more physical game play (it's not good hockey unless the gloves come off). Don Cherry was even named the 7th most important Canadian in CBC's 2010 "Greatest Canadian." With all this being said, the one thing Don Cherry is most known for are his suits, his amazing suits! Both physically and personality-wise, Cherry has no problem showing off his more flamboyant side, and I could not be more impressed by his taste. Here are my 25 favorite suits that Don Cherry has worn.

1. Flower Power.

2. The Hat Makes It.

3. Toronto Pride.

4. Stripes and Circles.

5. Bruins and Bullwinkle.

6. Save the Whales.

7. National Pink Day.

8. A Velour Christmas.

9. Lavender Dream.

10. Spring Has Sprung.

11. Gangster Cherry.

12. St. Paddy's Day.

13. Remembrance Day.

14. Chinese New Year.

15. STRIPES!

16. Classic Cherry.

17. Checkers.

18. Lemon-Lime Sorbet.

19. Plaid.

20. More Plaid.

21. Ready, Set, GO!

22. Prideful Cherry.

23. Phantom of the Rink.

24. Egg-celent Suit.

25. Shakespeare Cherry.

Don Cherry is a known figure in the hockey realm; he should also be known for his outstanding taste in menswear. Here's to you, Grapes! If you do not pay attention to hockey, I highly recommend it. Perhaps Cherry can help keep your attention with his bright jackets -- maybe that's the reason why he always wears such eye-catching patterns and colors. I am looking forward to what he has in store for us in the coming hockey season. The Canucks are not competing for the Stanley Cup, so I have stopped watching for now. However, I am sticking to my Canadian pride and rooting for Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins this year. If anyone deserves the W, it's Canada's sweetheart.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
