Newcomer girls in Ottawa are celebrating their new-found hockey skills at an end-of-season tournament, just as the Ottawa Charge prepares to take to the ice for the women's team's first-ever playoff game Thursday.

My heart is warmed; how bout yours? Thanks, CBC!

Post game videos with the Benny Hill soundtrack laid over them.

Y'know this got me thinkin... maybe I should be thanking Garry Bettman for driving me away from hockey.

I’m always saddened to be reminded that we’ve brought this treatment of girls and women to our country and blessed it since “it’s their culture”. It is reprehensible to see girls conditioned in a “free” country to wear hijabs and knowing that if they refuse they face “honour” killing or violence.

But it is nice to see these poor children get away from their fathers and other modesty enforcers for a while and do something that’s fun and integrates them a bit into Canadian culture.

Of course the coach doesn’t look like someone I’d put in charge of children.

Wait till the courts start ordering governments to start paying for FGM.

Is this the CBCs new cultural subversion project?

Like Little Mosque on the Prairie?

Now we're going to have muzzie fathers honour killing their daughters because they let a goal in.

They don’t need to, the tranny on the other team will do it for him by body checking.

Anyone on here in the Fort Mcmurray area? Any info on the Fort Mcmurray Islamic Center?

It was started in 2013, I can't find any updated info on it. As far as I can tell, they haven't finished the project. Never finished stage 1. The website about construction hasn't been updated in 9 years.

Is the project abandoned?
