I got a message this morning that Red Mile: The Calgary Flames Blog is featured on culture.ca, the official Canadian culture webpage that is hosted by the Government of Canada.
I’ve been listed (along with several other hockeyblogs) on a page dedicated to exploring hockeyblogging in Canada. Check it out! It discusses the nature of hockeyblogging, and the 2 main groups that write hockeyblogs: fans and journalists.
I suppose this means I better step it up!! I have been taking a break for the last month (I suppose working 18 of the last 20 days doesn’t help!) and focusing on other things, but I haven’t forgotten my beloved Flames!! I’ve updated the most recent game (Calgary vs. Dallas), and included the YouTube highlights.
Thanks for including me on the list!
Now I really have to see about getting myself a SlingBox so I can watch all the Flames games!
Greg is the founder of Red Mile Blog has been following the Flames through good times and bad since they arrived in Calgary in the early 80s. He has written hundreds of articles on the Flames since 2005 and considers himself an expert on hockey inconsistency and frustration. He shoots right and usually plays defence, but has been known to jump up in the rush. He is a 2-time CAHL men's league champion and knows the sweet taste of beer from a Cup.
