The Ordinals extended the win streak to four last night as we beat the Wild Turkeys 9-5. It was one of the best games I’ve ever seen the team play. The scoring was great, spread out between Joe, Mark, Chris (which was cool since it was his last game with us), Neill, David, Bob, Young [...]

Two years ago, during Chelsea Challenge 04, I did an interview with Spencer Windes for a documentary he was doing about gays and lesbians playing rough sports. He was talking to hockey players, rodeo riders and rugby players. The interview became part of Windes’ film Straight Acting, which made its world premiere at NewFest (the [...]
The Ordinals extended the winning streak to three last night with a 3-2 victory over the Wizards. It was a little weird playing against the team I just went to Montreal with, but it was satisfying nonetheless to watch the Ordinals keep applying the pressure and not fall into the chippy game the Ordinals were [...]
The full set of pictures and video from our trip to the 1st World Outgames are up on the main website now. You can check them out here. Enjoy!
Ordinals racked up their second consecutive win (and third for the season) last night in an exciting game against the Knights. Following the style that was set in the previous week’s game against Hegemony, the Ordinals played a pretty solid positional game, featuring some great passing and play setups. And everyone had fantastic energy last [...]
While Will and I were spending our last night in Montreal, the Ordinals and Storm were bringing in wins back home. The Ordinals beat Hockey Hegemony 5-3 (including two goals from Joe, making his Ordinals debut). That’s the Ordinals first win since the season opener back in April! Meanwhile, Storm beat the Sled Dogs 3-1, [...]
The 1st World Outgames wrapped up yesterday afternoon with everyone back where we started, at the Montreal Olympic Stadium for a huge party, headlined by Liza Minnelli. Before she performed, the Outgames were officially closed by the co-presidents and the Outgames flag was passed on to a contingent from Copenhagen, where the 2nd World Outgames [...]
We are watching a lot of pool sports while we’re here for some reason. Today it was off to Water Polo and some of the finals there. I’ve no idea the rules of the game, other than you need to score goals, but it was still fun. We watched a couple of matches, one that [...]
Dancing with the Stars got us very into ballroom dancing all of a sudden. So we were excited to go to the Dance Sport Grand Ball last night. It was set up as a showcase for a local dance troupe, who prepared numbers around movie musicals (numbers from Cabaret, Chicago, Rent, Victor/Victoria, Grease, What’s Love [...]
Despite the loss this morning, Will and I headed into the Village to see one of our favorite authors, Patricia Nell Warren, who wrote The Front Runner, the 1974 ground breaking novel about a gay college athlete who falls in love with his coach, all the while preparing to go the the 1976 Montreal Olympics.
