Welcome to All Star Weekend

Broadcasting and Cable

It is the most wonderful time in the National Hockey League. That's right, All Star Weekend is back. It is time for all the newbies and the vets to come together, show off their skills and hang out with each other. This year LA is hosting this marvelous weekend. Media Day, a skills competition and finally a day of games, what more could a hockey fan ask for. This year, 19 players will be attending for the very first time, a lot of these players are rookies. It will be interesting to see how to newbies handle being in the spotlight all weekend long. The fans were able to vote for their favorite players from their favorite teams to attend. The physical game will happen in a format of 3 on 3. It will be played tournament style. The new 3 on 3 format allows for an open flow and spaced out playing field. After 20 minutes, whichever team as more goals, obviously wins. When there are two teams left standing, they will battle it out to claim the title of the All Star Weekend champions. The MVP will win money and/ or a car. It is a time where they can relax from playing against their rivals and just enjoy themselves.

But be prepared for shenanigans. Every year during the skills competition, many jokes and gags are pulled off. Here is a bit of what Blackhawks Patrick Kane does,

I mean, they have all the fun in the world with this weekend. Just peep Tyler Seguin for a moment. Smile boy! One of the best moments that could happen in hockey is when they just throw as many tricks as possible. It's not all seriousness.

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.

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.

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.
