GUIDE to CALGARY
With the World Junior Championship having taken place in Alberta this year, Fully Loaded was in Calgary for the medal round. Canada came up short in its quest for gold, but we found a city with more than a silver lining. Thanks to a freak chinook, it wasn’t even that cold and the cosmopolitan city is home to plenty of nice folks, including Sauce Hockey model Erin Plato. Giddyup. WATCH Wildfire Grill/Flames Central 219 8th Avenue SW → The ultimate place to catch a hockey game in Calgary, this cavernous sports bar boasts big projection screens, a solid menu of stick-to-your-ribs goodness and a very fetching wait staff. DRINK Melrose Cafe and Bar 730 17th Ave. SW → Recommended by Plato herself, this bar is located on the city’s famous Red Mile and gets particularly hopping on the…
BISON BESTS BEEF
→ IN THE NEXT SHIFT toward leaner living, chefs are turning from beef to cattle’s cousin, bison. More and more people opt for bison’s leaner cut and richer, sweeter taste. Most are grass-fed and come from private ranches, but are becoming more widely available in stores. Described as a dense meat with a rich flavor, bison satisfies more with a smaller portion. With high levels of Omega-3, Omega-6 and B-12, bison is higher in sodium than beef. For some, the difference isn’t even noticeable in chili or meatloaf recipes. Others find bison dry and prefer traditional beef steak. For a burger, though, bison is the healthier option.

Hockey’s Gear of War
Easton’s Synergy one-piece composite sticks made hockey equipment history. Now Synergy sticks are history. Easton will discontinue the model that led the one-piece composite revolution beginning in 1999. A couple of one-piece composite sticks did hit the market before Synergy, but none were successful, let alone transformational. A new stick family, Mako, will replace Synergy and debut in April. The Synergy label still will appear on Easton products in other categories, but if you want a Synergy stick, you’ll have to settle for a close-out. “Mako is really a new product altogether,” said Easton’s Mike Mountain. “We may be discontinuing Synergy, but that doesn’t necessarily mean we’re walking away from it forever.” Thanks to white-based graphics, the Mako stick series — led by an ultra-premium model that’s called simply ‘Mako’ — will certainly stand out…
