I assume the Hockey HoF is in Toronto?

5

3 or 4 blocks from the CN Tower

6

US Hockey HOF is in Eveleth MN. :slight_smile:

7

Right across the street from Union Station.

8

Unfortunately it’s empty.

9

Cold man. Cold…

You Canadians are just mad because your NHL teams have forgotten how to win the cup.

I’m not sure having this all from basically one “category” works as well.

15

They’re probably looking closely at the data from the beta version to see how well a focused category plays out.

I imagine there’s also some discussion there about whether to keep Connections as a single catch-all or whether to break Connections into a bunch of specific sub-topics (sports, movies, books, arts, science . . .). Wait, that sounds familiar.

Pool got me, kept trying to put it in bar games. I’d turn in my triathlete card but it seems I lost that a few years ago :slight_smile:
