The Olympics Are Awesome

With the Winter Olympics set to wrap up by the end of the week, I decided to write a short post on my thoughts on the Olympics as a whole. As all of you know, I love sports. Watching, reading, listening to, and following sports consumes most of my free time. I am a self diagnosed sports addict. That is why I love the Olympics.

For two weeks, the best athletes in the world come together to compete in sporting events. Political and religious differences are set aside all in the name of competition as sportsmanship and national pride reign supreme. A perfect example of this is the unified Korean women’s hockey team. Despite the political differences between the two countries, players are setting aside their difference to play hockey. While this feeling of unification may end as soon as the flames of the Olympic torch are extinguished, it is very refreshing to see the countries playing as one on the ice rink.

The biggest draw for me though is the nonstop sports coverage. Seemingly from the time I wake up until the time I go to bed, sports are on television. Whether it be winter Olympic favorites of mine such as hockey, snowboarding, speed skating or slope style skiing, I am always tuned in and cheering on Team U.S.A. I also make sure to watch obscure sports that only air during the two weeks the Olympics are on television. I love watching curling and all the Nordic skiing events as well as figure skating, luge, skeleton and bobsledding. Simply put, if the Olympics are on television, I am watching.

On a personal level, I like the summer Olympics more than I do the winter games. There are a lot more events during the summer Olympics, and I feel that those events are often more dramatic and exciting than the winter events. I still love the winter Olympics though and will be a little sad when they come to a close. Until then, I will continue to watch as much of the winter Olympics as I can while cheering on Team U.S.A.

Cyclones in a Half Shell, Hockey Power!

 On Friday November 17, 2017, the Cincinnati Cyclones will host the Toledo Walleye on “Nickelodeon Night featuring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.” If you are a turtles fan, a hockey fan, or a bobblehead fan, then this is one game you definitely do not want to miss.

The game will feature an appearance from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and both the Cyclones and the Walleye will wear TMNT themed jerseys. The Cyclones will have jerseys representing the turtles and the Walleye will wear jerseys representing Shredder. Both teams’ jerseys will be auctioned off later.

They Cyclones will also be giving out a TMNT themed bobblehead of their mascot. Based on the picture the Cyclones have promoted on their site, Twister will be wearing a mix of his Cyclones uniform and Michelangelo’s ninja gear. The base is a sewer lid, and Twister will be armed with a hockey stick.

In conclusion, the Cyclones will play host to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the players will wear TMNT themed jerseys, and a TMNT themed bobblehead of Twister will be given away to the first 3,000 fans in attendance. Pizza slices will also be available for $1 all night long. I already have my tickets for the game, and I cannot wait to add the bobblehead to my collection.
