GND#58 Stacy Allen- Powerskating and Skills Guru Dominating Alberta's Hockey Youth Development Scene! Special Episode*
Stacy Allen is a local Calgarian hockey jugernaut in the coaching world. She has been slowly and steadily building her book of business of up and coming wannabe superstars. Her specialty, is Powerskating. But it doesn't just stop there, she's no slouch with the puck, having been part of the group of female pioneers before the arrival of the PWHL.
Stacy belongs to a special group of elite athletes coming out of the University of Alberta where her team was inducted to Hockey Hall of Fame for a Dynasty Team in 2019.
We had a fascinating discussion on her rise, where it all began playing with the boys, AND hitting with the boys. She later parlayed this into a career, but it was no easy path. We dissect many of the differences between the boys and the girls on the ice and even the mechanics of how girls can skate vs the boys.
Sit back, relax and please enjoy this Great Northern Discussion.

GND#56 Dean Burns-The Legend of Patrick Burns: "Alberta's Greatest Citizen"
Patrick Burns was a Canadian politician, rancher, meat packer, businessman, and philanthropist. A self-made man of wealth, he built one of the world's largest integrated meat-packing empires, P. Burns & Co., becoming one of the wealthiest Canadians of his time. He is honoured as one of the Big Four western cattle kings who started the Calgary Stampede in Alberta in 1912. He worked in the meat industry and owned cattle ranches. Burns's 700,000 acres (2,800 km2) of land in Southern Alberta extended from Cochrane to the US border. In 1931, he was appointed to the Canadian Senate as a representative for Alberta. On October 16, 2008, the Calgary Herald named Burns as Alberta's Greatest Citizen. Dean Burns is a descendant of Pat's and I sat with him to ride through the historical journey of Pat coming to Calgary with nothing but a shirt on his back, and a determination to succeed. Dean is a historical juggernaut with a wealth of knowledge, and is a successful entrepreneur himself right here in Calgary. This was a phenomenal discussion and if you're a history buff, this one is for you!
