Travel: Colorado’s winter huts blend adventure, luxury, and scenic beautyFour years ago, the province of Saskatchewan had never had a national champion in U20 women’s broomball. The Debden Roadrunners have now given the province three straight, and they are looking to make it four as they get set for the season to start this winter. With this year’s national championships set for Val-d’Or, Quebec, the Roadrunners will already have a spot in the tournament set for the end of March. Head Coach Dean Demers said that the team started the season started off well, and the respect they have at the national level has completely changed in the three years they’ve been champions. “These are all small town, Saskatchewan girls. We weren’t getting any respect when we first went there from Ontario and Quebec teams, they were just like, ‘Oh yeah, another Saskatchewan team’, but once we showed up last year as the two time defending champs, holy smokes, they know who these girls from Saskatchewan are now.” The regular season for the U20 broomball team is different than a regular season for most other sports. Instead of having games throughout the week, they play in five tournaments in Saskatchewan throughout the year where all teams are invited. At the end of the season, the teams gather for a provincial championship where the winner goes to the national championships. As the reigning national champs, the Roadrunners already have a spot in the national tournament. The Roadrunners already started their season with a tournament in Big River, and the season got off to a good start. They won two games and lost on in the round robin, giving themselves a chance at the final where they won 2-1 in overtime for their first tournament win of the year. When asked why Debden has become the spot where broomball seems to be flourishing, Demers is unsure how it got started, but it has been a beloved pastime in the community for generations. “Way before my time, broomball was real popular in our area in the 70s and 80s stuff as adults. There was a bunch of adult teams playing all over the place and then eventually somebody started the kids program. So yeah, we’ve had kids going through school playing broomball since the 80s and 90s and all this stuff, and now in the in the last three years that we’ve gone, we’ve just had such good athletes and good players on the team that they were actually good enough to win the whole entire nationals tournaments.” The Broomball Canada Girls Juvenile Nationals have been around for 32 years now according to Demers’ account, and a Saskatchewan team has never won before the Debden Roadrunners. Now that they are a three time defending champs, he’s hoping his team can continue to make history. “When the Debden Roadrunners did win the first time in 2022, we were the first Saskatchewan team ever to win nationals for U20 ladies. It hadn’t been done before, and so out right off the bat we made history there in Cornwall, Ontario that year, but geez, these girls won it in 2022, won it again in 23, won it again in 24. They just keep making history every time they’re going and winning again.” With broomball being played on hockey ice, there are a lot of similarities between the two sports. It’s the same personnel on the ice, three forwards, two defenceman, and a goalie, and so a lot of the same strategy in hockey carries over to the broomball ice. “The rules are almost the same. The only difference would be your center line is your off side rule instead of the two blue lines in hockey. So other than that, yeah, you copy a lot of strategy and a lot of everything else is the same as hockey. So the only difference is you’re running in shoes instead of skating on skates.” This year’s national championships are set for Val-d’Or, Quebec starting on March 26, 2025.

Alicia Ojeda and her young daughter sat in the giant Ticket Concourse hall in Union Station with hundreds of others, anxiously awaiting the start of the holiday festivities on Monday night, Nov. 25. The mother and daughter came from South Los Angeles to see Santa switch on the 30-foot Christmas tree, listen to music from Los Rebeldes Romanticos, and sip hot chocolate in the historic train station’s north patio, said Ojeda. Her daughter, however, was wishing for something else. “Cats,” said Anastasia, twice. “Cats.” To which her mother quickly answered: “Oh, she just loves cats.” Well, the night may have disappointed Anastasia, but the crowd seemed to enjoy the 9th Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony put on by Metro Arts and LA Metro. There were no cats, per se, but there were fairies and angels adorned with electric white lights swirling their wings, and golden stars dancing in the moonlit patio — both performed on stilts — who stirred the imagination of tiny tots with eyes all aglow. Two elves in green were dwarfed by a large pot-bellied Santa in a red suit who wondered how the tree would light just by the touch of a wireless button on stage. “I don’t see any cables. Do you think it will work?” he mused, then touched the button and added golden, twinkling lights to the tree, sending oohs from the patient crowd. LA Metro CEO Stephanie Wiggins and Whittier City Councilmember and Metro vice chair Fernando Dutra greeted the large crowd and helped with the tree-lighting. After getting a hug from St. Nick, Wiggins thanked him for her greatest gift so far this season. “I’ve been on the good list, Santa, all year long. We now have 1 million people riding Metro every day,” she announced. She was referring to September and October ridership on the vast Metro system surpassing the one million mark for the first time since before the pandemic, with average weekday ridership at 1,025,262 in October, the latest figures available. The standing-only crowd craned their necks to see the band, who revived the Los Angeles Bolero movement with their melodic Latin American ballads and cumbias. In between, they snuck in some Christmas classics singing in English, “Let It Snow,” a wish that, well, wasn’t happening in balmy Los Angeles. Even the clouds had parted outside, chasing away intermittent rain sprinkles. Can Los Angeles properly celebrate the holidays without snow, weather that’s frightful, or chestnuts roasting on an open fire? Just ask Yolanda McClamb, who came from Culver City riding the Metro E Line train to attend her first-ever holiday celebration in Union Station. “There are many events across Los Angeles that have that kind of holiday spirit,” McClamb said. She has attended other shows in the 1939 building, celebrating its 85th year anniversary. Union Station serves Metro’s A, B and D lines and a fleet of Metrolink and Amtrak trains, and a bus plaza, where folks can get across the city and to and from LAX. Many parents and children waited in long lines to greet Santa and have their pictures taken. Just before the event, those exiting the A Line train received free tamales from a vendor, as part of the festival. McClamb mentioned other events she’s experienced at Union Station, including the model train show and a video game extravaganza event in the recent past. But on Monday night, she discovered a new band and Boleros music. And she drew hope and encouragement from the crowd to begin the holiday season. “We just love the spirit, the camaraderie and the amazing music selection,” she said. Dutra expressed a wish of togetherness for the season during this difficult political season for many in Southern California. “I want Angelenos to have a happy, safe Christmas. I want everyone to come together, put politics aside and focus on the reason why we are here for the Christmas season,” he said in an interview after the tree lighting. Los Angeles Conservancy will be conducting 90-minute “Holidays at Union Station” tours on Dec. 5, 12 and 19 starting at 5:30 p.m. The guided tours will take visitors through the historic station at night highlighting the holiday décor.

Pokimane told off critics after her cooking video, where she made a Korean-Moroccan fusion dish, ended up sparking a debate about her race. Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys is a Moroccan-Canadian Twitch streamer. She emigrated from the North African country to Canada when she was four years old and speaks Arabic, French and English. The topic of Pokimane’s race has come up among viewers from time to time, particularly when she unveiled her naturally curly hair in 2022 after years of wearing it straight on camera. However, her race was once again brought into the spotlight after she uploaded a collaborative video with ChefBoylee on November 21, where the two put a Korean spin on tagine, a traditional Moroccan stew, to create a fusion dish featuring both of their cultures. A post shared by Kevin Lee (@chefboylee) Aside from the comments lamenting that she’d “ruined” the tagine with cheese, Pokimane called out several remarks that seemed to accuse her of race-baiting, such as one that read: “Guys, don’t be fooled, she’s not Asian.” “Some of the comments I’m getting are making me want to rip my hair out,” she admitted in a video on her Instagram stories. “...It’s just so frustrating. You guys know that over the years I have gotten a myriad of comments of people thinking that I’m Asian, which I don’t think is a bad thing. “I don’t feel the need to go out of my way to correct people on my ethnicity or where I’m from, but I also feel like I try very hard to ‘put on’ Morocco because I’m very proud of being from Morocco. So to have people pretend like I’m pretending to not be Moroccan? Like, that’s the whole point of the video!” Related: Poki via Instagram story #2 pic.twitter.com/vlnWo8zCxX Pokimane concluded her thoughts in a third video, where she explained she was fatigued by the sheer amount of remarks “invalidating” her experiences as a Moroccan person. “I get so tired of the kind of energy that people come at me with, or at others, when it comes to our ethnicity, or where we’re from, or our lived experience. I just don’t get it,” she said. Poki via Instagram story #3 pic.twitter.com/1MsCwzOl7y This is far from the first time Pokimane’s race has come up as a hot topic on social media. In fact, German-Filipino streamer Valkyrae said she was baffled by viewers saying the two look alike, exclaiming, “Poki’s not even Asian, she’s Moroccan. I don’t see it.”Pokimane hits back after cooking video sparks “frustrating” debate over her race
