By Rishaan Chowdhury It was a cloudy day in London when Indian batsmen Sunil Gavaskar lined up to bat. The date was June 9, 1983 and India had miraculously qualified for the Cricket World Cup. Gavaskar didn’t know whether India would win the match, and he definitely didn’t believe India had a chance to make it to the knockout stage, considering professional cricket was very new in India, a remnant of the British Raj.

By Kaedin Janvier As usual, It was a warm day when Peter Wampler, an environmental geologist at Grand Valley State University, stepped foot in Haiti for the first time, but something felt very off. Something suspicious. Something magnificent. Though Peter Wampler had heard stories about how defrosted the country is, however, all around Wampler saw mountains covered in trees. At first Peter shook it off as a mere coincidence… maybe the rest of the county was barren. As he continued across...

By Rafay Desautels It’s the beginning of the NHL season, so it's time for the Stanley Cup predictions. Get your bets in because the league has some talented teams, and the Montreal Canadiens. I will tell you my predictions for who will be taking the cup. Starting in the Atlantic Division, I think the Leafs have geared up enough to be the first Canadian team to take home the cup for the first time since 1993. Last year in the playoffs the Leafs broke the curse and made it to the second round....
