- This week Sven Baertschi and Derek Dorsett headed up to Haida Gwaii with Canucks Autism Network and did some fishing for the kids. Baertschi was a rookie fisherman, so we got a play by play of his first ever catch:

- Baertschi is the anti-David Booth. Look at him kissing this fish and hand-feeding this deer.



- Dorsett did not kiss any fish on camera, but he did catch one in the middle of a rainstorm. Very dramatic:

- And this photo of Willie D and Jim Benning is just adorable. They are so cold.

- Alex Edler met up with fellow Scandinavian David Ousted after the Whitecaps game in LA. Neighbours supporting each other!

- Some of the youths attended a UFC event and Ben Hutton pretended to square up against the camera, because of course he did.

- Who needs RK17™ when you’ve got Jake Virtanen rocking his very own Big Country sweater? Also, it looks like his new dressing room neighbour is that mysterious Anton Rodin guy.

- Thatcher Demko tweeted about binge-watching Stranger Things on Netflix and somehow it turned into him calling Brock Boeser “Miley Cyrus”
@BBoeser16 ok Miley Cyrus #Can‘tStopWon’tStop

- And finally, Chris Higgins’ reflection on his time in Vancouver is sweet. Good luck to him in Calgary!
