Excited for the upcoming season ahead with preseason just a few days away! Not much expectations but I'm looking forward to Green's inaugural season and see how our new signings fit in. Can't wait to see the boys hit the ice in China!

Just got back from Calgary. Went to Banff and Jasper mainly. Beautiful province to visit. I recommend anyone and any tourists to visit. Absolutely stunning!

The Mrs. is from the Calgary area. Remember visiting her family there back in the 70's. It was a beautiful summer day, so no extreme cold, of course. We were tossing a Frisbee in a local school's parking lot. I noticed posts with outlets at every stall. Went back to Calgary (again to visit the in-laws) the next Christmas. I quickly learned what the outlets were for.

Going to Calgary later this week. Won't be able to stop where we want to since it's a tour trip but we will be able to explore some popular places. Any nice places to go/restaurants to go eat out at?

I will go to OEB for lunch too (love breakfast for lunch!). I think they're open til 2:30pm every day.
I now live in Chestermere, which is a community East of Calgary. But I work Downtown.
If you're going to Banff, another great restaurant is Three Ravens. It's at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity - which in itself is a pretty cool place worth seeing. And definitely go for a drink at the Banff Fairmont (but don't stay there). The hotel is very old and expensive, but it is situated in the coolest location. There is a lounge at one end that has awesome drinks, and an even better view.
Oh yeah, and Village Ice Cream is a great place to grab a cold treat downtown. It's between the main core of downtown and the Saddledome.

Oh yeah, almost forgot - Bear Street Tavern in Banff has AMAZING pizza. And it's right in the middle of downtown Banff.
Avoid The Grizzly House though. It is a trendy pick, as it is in a former swingers' club (even still has old phones that will call the other tables), and serves 70's-style fondue. But it was overpriced, smoky, and the food underwhelming. My wife and I didn't enjoy it at all.
