Cinco de Mayo is on Friday, which means your liver will be mad at you by Sunday. Eat lots of tacos, and make sure you have a safe ride home!
Our Windsor Spitfires are home on Wednesday. Cheer them on as they take on the Kitchner Rangers. Kitchner leads the series 2-1. Unfortunately, our Windsor Express lost their series against the Sudbury Five. Thank you for a great season, Express!

FADE IN: The open ocean, 1974. Filming is delayed… again. The lead actors – theatre veteran Robert Shaw and young Hollywood hotshots Richard Dreyfuss and Roy Scheider – are crammed into a too-small boat, entirely at the mercy of foul weather and a faulty mechanical co-star. Alcohol flows, egos collide, and tempers flare on a chaotic voyage that just might lead to cinematic magic… if it doesn’t sink them all. Step aboard the Orca and into THE SHARK IS BROKEN, a “profound dive behind the scenes of the making of JAWS”
