How CCA Succeeded Where Public School Failed

  For a long time at Williams Valley, I felt completely stuck. There wasn't just one problem; there were several. During COVID, and after schools shut down, switching to the online option for Williams Valley didn't change the "stuck" feeling. For the last few years at that school, I was bullied both in school and online by students in the same grade, and some even older than me. Even though the bullying was obvious, the school never did anything about it. I can probably only count five teachers from my entire time there who actually cared and made an impact.

   The Blue Jackets played against the Oilers in Edmonton at Rogers Place on Tuesday, January 23rd. The Edmonton Oilers now have a 14-game win streak and plan to continue the streak on Thursday when the Chicago Blackhawks visit the Oilers at Rogers Place.

   Edmonton strikes first - Warren Foegele opens the scoring on the power play with his 10th goal of the season. Dmitri Voronkov tied the game up at 1-1, capitalizing on a Sam Gagner turnover from behind the Oilers' net and passing it out to Kent Johnson in the front for a give-and-go, leaving Stuart Skinner to dive across his crease.


   In the middle frame, Connor McDavid thought he got Edmonton a 2-1 lead... the Blue Jackets successfully challenged that the goal by McDavid was offsides. The Blue Jackets and the Oilers stay locked at 1-1.


   Evander Kane finds the rebound, giving Edmonton the 2-1 lead this time. Kane found the rebound after Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had hit the post. Connor McDavid made it a 3-1 lead just 55 seconds after Kane's goal. McDavid's shot went over Elvis Merzlikins after he had been knocked into the ice, and the puck went into the net. Dylan Holloway strikes his second of the season, making it a 4-1 lead with four minutes to go.
