Default #TrickShot4Snowy

I know there is already a Chris Snow thread, however, I wanted to draw specific attention to the new version of the “ice bucket challenge” for ALS that Chris and the Flames have put together.

It’s a revamped take based on trick shots. If you want to participate, include this in your tweet:

-a trick shot of any kind (any sport)

-include the hashtag #trickshot4snowy

-donation link: http://calgaryflames.com/snowystrong

-challenge 2 people to perform their own trick within 3 days


An example that I have done is below for reference (if you don’t want to make your own you can also retweet many of the available options on twitter, the main purpose is to get the message to as many people as possible):

https://twitter.com/jamiecochrane22/...687540736?s=21

Have fun and hope Calgary Puck gets behind this with both their financial contributions, and spread awareness to help end ALS with your own trick shot!

Thanks for reading,
Jamie

Also, looks like a sneak preview of what goal celebrations might look like when play resumes.

Which aside from looking dumb makes no sense at all. They're all being tested regularly, isolated, etc. They're playing an intense game, loads of sweating, heavy breathing, smashing into each other, scrums, etc, and they're sitting beside each other on the bench. How would changing goal celebrations have any effect? Am I missing something here?

1) There’s nothing better than being a dad. Nothing.
2) Ya, I’d say this has taken off!
3) Nothing like “safety first”!

Ok guys, for real.

Make your own, post it here, and challenge another cp member and a couple family/friends.

It’s fun, for a real special cause, and helps out a really important member of our Flames family.

And super awesome job by D’Arcy, whom I’ve never met, but did that off my challenge and killed it. One of my fav trick shots I’ve seen so far. Thanks, man.

The problem with those celebrity nominations is they pretty much have to ignore them because they could spend seven days a week doing challenges for various causes tweeted at them. The community ones have been great so far, though, best to keep it going with local celebrities .
