Lacrosse great Shawn Evans had a game for the ages Thursday night (August 20th), scoring 14 points—7 goals and 7 assists—in leading the Lakers to a 18-14 win over Six Nations Chiefs in Game 2 of the MLS Finals, and a 2-0 lead in the series.

The fan favourite had all 3,293 fans buzzing all night—and tweeting about his amazing performance.

Best @PtboLakersLax game I've seen to date. 18-14. @shawnevans1588 is a machine. Can't wait for Sunday.

The modest Evans raved about the fans and their support afterwards, but his good luck charm might well have been his 6-year-old daughter Paityn. Evans woke up to this yesterday and tweeted it out...

Nothing better then waking up to your daughter singing #artist #creative @Ptbo_Canada @KaylaLynn_28 pic.twitter.com/DOkq9bTnjv

A little known actor from Peterborough is now well known around the world.

Sebastian Deery, 27, gained overnight internet fame after amassing more than a million views from posts on the popular visual storytelling website Imgur.com. His posts were a self-deprecating series about what it's like to be an "unknown" in the acting world.
 
His original anonymous post, entitled “Actor Problems”, gained hundreds of thousands of views, as did a subsequent post.

The posts poked fun at the unreasonable demands made of actors, often at short notice (see samples below).

Sebastian then posted a reveal of his name due to popular demand—he says he had no particular reason for being anonymous in the first place—and that post has received nearly 500,000 views.

Sebastian has tweeted about the overwhelming attention he's now getting from around the world, which has ranged from marriage proposals to industry advice...

It's taken me two days to go through all of the messages and emails and reply to them. Marriage proposals,... http://t.co/Q4LsQOYP9N

Powerful Video From Steve Montador's Former Teammate And Best Friend In Hockey On Mental Health

Dan Carcillo

An emotional and moving new video from NHLer Dan Carcillo has been posted to YouTube about his former teammate and best friend in hockey Steve Montador, who played for the Peterborough Petes in junior hockey.

Montador, who played with Carcillo with the Chicago Blackhawks, was found dead in his home at age 35 back in February.

Montador suffered through concussions, depression and substance abuse, and had retired from hockey in 2013 after multiple concussions.

The powerful video focuses on the death of Montador and why the NHL community can't be silent about mental health issues anymore and has to look out for its own. 

Watch the video below...

It was early Sunday afternoon, and I was taking off my shoes in our players' lounge when I kept hearing my phone buzz. Someone was calling repeatedly. I immediately got an uneasy, sick feeling when I looked at the screen and saw who was calling. It was my close friend Missy.
