, as the superior player. This award has disproportionately gone to men’s hockey players in the past and though his resume was impressive, there are two Canadian NHL players that may have been better.A three-time winner of the Bobbie Rosenfeld Award, granted to the best Canadian women’s athlete annually, Henderson is a favourite of the electorate.
Poulin was one of Canada’s flag-bearers at the opening ceremonies and she left with her legacy cemented as perhaps the greatest women’s player of all time, in the company of Angela James and Hayley Wickenheiser. A little bit of inside baseball, if you will: when discussing our vote, Yahoo Sports Canada managing editor Mackenzie Liddell and I couldn’t believe Poulin had never won this award. That may have to change after another dominant season.Nurse’s case is outlined simply above. She led the Olympics in scoring with five goals and 18 points, setting Olympic records for points in a single tournament in the process.
Davies’ performance was somewhat inconsistent and some columnists resorted to unjust and irrelevant criticism -- of the 22-year-old, when he elected not to speak to some members of the press corps. He won the award in 2020 and though he won’t win it this year, we are certain he’ll be back again, especially if Bayern Munich continues as a leading contender in the UEFA Champions League.

Sport Minister St-Onge refused to go to Qatar for FIFA World Cup to show solidarity with LGBTQ community and migrant workers, say Liberal sourcesSport Minister Pascale St-Onge, who made Canadian history as the first out lesbian cabinet minister when she was appointed in 2021, declined to go to Qatar recently for the FIFA World Cup as a show of solidarity with the LGBTQ community and because of allegations of human rights abuses against migrant workers in the host country of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. “I am proud of the Canada National soccer team qualifying for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Their qualification is a historic event,” said St-Onge (Brome-Missisquoi, Que.) in a written statement to The Hill Times.

Homosexuality is a criminal offence in Qatar, and organizations like Human Rights Watch say LGBTQ people are being arbitrarily arrested in that country. That organization says it has documented “six cases of severe and repeated beatings and five cases of sexual harassment in police custody between 2019 and 2022.” “Security forces arrested people in public places based solely on their gender expression and unlawfully searched their phones,” a Human Rights Watch report alleges. “As a requ
