Via Ferrata – which means “iron path” in Italian – is a physically demanding outdoor challenge which is an exhilarating mix of hiking a rock climbing. Participants attempt to climb mountains and rock faces using a pre-existing route of metal bars and wires. Though challenging, participants are often rewarded by incredible views from very hard to reach spots!  Via Ferrata has existed for a long time in many different forms, but something cool about their history is that during World War I, Via Ferratas were constructed and used in the Dolomite Mountain region of Italy to move army troops around with their gear and weapons.

Kait & Caroline got to try out Via Ferrata at Tyroparc

Ice Hockey is a Canadian-born sport; however, its exact origins have long  been debated by historians and hockey fanatics. While hockey definitely has its roots in the 1800’s, at least three spots in Canada claim that the sport originated in their town: Windsor, NS, Halifax-Dartmouth, NS and Montreal, QC all lay claim to the honour!  Despite the debates, the most important thing to take away is that in the early-days of Hockey, a frozen patty of cow poop was used as a puck! Now that’s AWSM eh?

In this episode we’ll hit the ice with the Stingers, Concordia’s women’s hockey team!
