I wonder if he's starting to warm up to the western / cowboy culture that permeates this city. I hope so, because (for better or worse) it's not going anywhere anytime soon. Hopefully he and Guy love wearing cowboy hats!

I've never owned a Cowboy hat or boots but I respect the western heritage. If you have ever spent any time on a ranch or farm you would know it's a hard working, honest lifestyle. Nothing any Albertan should ever be ashamed of. The Stampede is simply an event where a lot of city goers pretend to be cowboys and look bad in doing so.

Maybe the Flames organization should hand him the whip while we're at it!

Better yet, give Gaudreau the whip while Brouwer rides in front!

Apparently it didn't go that well:

JOHNNY HOCKEY, NOT JOCKEY
Gaudreau attended his first Calgary Stampede this summer, at which he climbed onto a horse and slid his black Yeezys into the stirrups. Presumably that picture was taken early in the morning, before Gaudreau got bucked off.

“So we’re on a declining hill,” he says. “There’s 150 horses around there before the parade starts, and they’re all s------ around everywhere. We’re at the top of the hill and the horse’s legs give out, and as he stands up he bucks me off and I’m rolling down the hill in all this crap. And then I had to ride on the horse. It was a long day. It was disgusting. I got a new shirt.”

I guess they put Gaudreau on a big miniature pony

My point is that they're from Philly, so hopefully they into the whole 'western cowboy' schtick, because it is a thing here.

But I think that the counter point is they don't have to be "into" it in order to appreciate it. There are a tonne of people in Calgary (I personally have not lived there in nearly two decades) who are consummate urbanites, and yet who also love the Stampede. I don't see that there is any issue here.

Neither do I, I'm just saying I hope they embrace it because it's a thing here. It looks like they are.

IIRC, Alberta Boots set him up with a new pair last year. The people who run the ‘Boot Trick’ thing for hat tricks. Greatest boots out there

Of course the goalie is going to wear extra gear.

Is texting on horseback considered distracted driving?

I always thought if Boston could create a Bearcat Murray fan club, that Calgary should create a Guy Gaudreau fan club. Just need to create a logo based on this:
