Watch: Peterborough Grandpa Creates Mapey Leafy Spider Song For Kids

/

Dr. Matthew Stewart, a Peterborough man who has a website 50 Ways To Be Happier, put together this "Mapey Leafy Spider" song to inspire kids and their parents who are Leafs fans. The lyrics are:

Mapey Leafey Spider skatin' icy rink,
blast a puck in goal 'cause you call him dirty fink,
so if you don't talk nice, you get ready then,
'cause Mapey Leafey Spider gonna win the game again!

Now watch for yourself, it's getting a lot of views...


Dr. Matt has songs for other NHL teams on his YouTube channel, including Boston, Chicago, Calgary and more.

PtboPics & Coverage: Peterborough Cycling Club 2013 Open House

/

The Peterborough Cycling Club held their 2013 Open House Saturday night (February 23rd) at Wild Rock Outfitters.​ Roller racing was the hit of the night, provided by the West of Quebec Wheelers.

There were four fixed gear bicycles on rollers that were hooked up to a mechanical score board to show the racer's progress. As the evening progressed, the bracket of competitors were whittled down to the Final Four men and women.

Do Levis commuter jeans help you win? How about galoshes? Does beating a Wild Rock owner net you a 20%-off discount? Head over to the Peterborough Cycling Club website to hopefully learn these answers and more about the club.
