When @nicholassimpson_fit says “I invented a new exercise!” you know you’re in for a treat... commence full body ache 😖 😥. #thesweatlife #ambassadorlove @lululemonmen #aucerna @rbc #rbcolympains #schaatsen #training
Just as fast as the past season went, 2019/2020 is just upon us! With the body still recovering, keeping the rides as casual as possible... which means for brunch, coffees and mid-ride photo shoots. 📸: @pieterstoffel @lululemonmen #thesweatlife #ambassadorlove #abcpantsforeverything @trekbikes #betterwithbikes
Pitter patter let’s get at ‘er! Oval Finale kicks off tomorrow, 9am with the 500m. I’ll also be on ice Saturday for another 500m and a 1000m and end it off with a 1500m Sunday 😬... maybe. 📸: @tv45235 #finallyfinale #thesweatlife #aucerna #rbcolympians @rbc @evoskates #schaatsen

What an insanely epic couple of days with even more epic people! The pictures speak for themselves but the inaugural @lululemonyyc outdoor classic was a massive success! Massive shoutout to @lswell for bringing “Team Elite” together - although we might’ve not won the tournament this year, we’re coming back next year with a vengeance! 📸: @mattkorinek #thesweatlife #lululemonodc @lululemonmen @fairmontcll #canada
Can’t believe already been a year! Yes, there was a race, but more importantly there were these people waiting for me across the finish line. #family @teamcanada @hudsonsbay #strengthinstripes #pyeongchang2018
Back home and although World Championships didn’t go the way I hoping or expected, cannot deny how great it is to put on suit and represent 🇨🇦! Thank you to the coaching staff, service team and teammates of @ssc_pvc for giving me every chance to succeed. Massive thank you to my sponsors #Aucerna, @lululemon, @RBC and @craigsenyk, along with the program initiatives of @hudsonsbay’s Strength in Stripes and @albertagames - you allow me to live my dream day in and day out and your support pushes me to be better. Last month of the season and still a handful of races to go - moving forward.
Looking back at last weekend, it was awesome to be back in Norway and see so many familiar faces. Had some promising results and I’m excited to build off of those heading into this weekend’s World Championships. Two days to go! 🤞🏽 📸: @christoffer_rukke / @photography_c.r @teamcanada @ssc_pvc #thesweatlife #aucerna #rbcolympians #schaatsen #wcspeed
Championship season is here! Two mores races and one more week. World Cup in 🇳🇴 starts today; last chance to dial things in before World Championships in 🇩🇪 in a week. Let’s get it! 📸: @marshahudey @teamcanada #teamcanada #rbcolympian @ssc_pvc #aucerna #schaatsen #norway
A kid transferring from hockey, I started my career at an identification camp very similar to that of @RBC Training Grounds. 15 years later, two Olympics and countless memories, don’t know where I would be if I didn’t take that leap all those years ago. Think you have what it takes to be @TeamCanada’s next Olympian? Visit www.rbctrainingground.ca to find out how. #rbctrainingground
Do one thing that scares you a day 🙌🏽. Been a while since I’ve been able to confidently approach 100 kg on any clean but glad it’s coming together now. Three weeks until World Champs! 💪🏽 & 📸: @nicholassimpson_fit #thesweatlife @lululemonmen #teamaucerna #rbcolympians @rbc @hudsonsbay #strengthinstripes

2018 has been an absolute rollercoaster - through some massive highs and lows, I learnt a lot this year. Thank you to everyone who made this year so memorable! Bring on #2019! But first, here are my top moments of this past year! #thesweatlife #aucerna #rbcolympians #yearinreview #2018bestnine

Took some steps in the right direction this weekend with a tenth-place finish. After struggling this year with the speed, it was much a relief (not to mention fun) to finally let one rip in front of a SOLD OUT @thialfheerenveen! When the place is rocking, there is no better place to skate - sometimes you got let ‘em know you appreciate it! Time to go home now and enjoy the holidays! 🎅🏼 #thesweatlife #teamaucerna #rbcolympians #schaatsen #celly #letemknow #teamcanada @teamcanada @ssc_pvc
2nd place in the B Group is a job done. Still not quite where I want to be but taking steps in the right direction. Excited to be ending the Fall World Cups in the A Group next week in The Netherlands 🇳🇱. That being said, we’re not done in Poland yet! Team Sprint tomorrow and we’re looking for the podium! #thesweatlife #teamaucerna #rbcolympians #schaatsen #podium #teamcanada @teamcanada @ssc_pvc
We back baby! Fresh off the bench, Big Dog and I are back on the World Cup circuit to bolster an awesome Canadian squad. Very fortunate to get a few World Cup races under the belt before the Holidays but looking for some good results as an early Christmas present! Santa put me on your good list! 🎅🏼 Races start Friday - good luck team! Let’s get it! 🙌🏽🤙🏽 #thesweatlife #teamaucerna #rbcolympians @rbc @lululemonmen @ssc_pvc
Tomorrow is a massive day for #yyc! Grab some friends and exercise your right to vote. There are plenty more people smarter and more qualified but I’ll leave these here. Without the legacy of ‘88, I would have never found the sport and community that has enriched my life. I want to see Calgary to still have the infrastructure for our communities to dream big, be better and accomplish more. I’ve learned dedication, perseverance and ambition not only from sport but from Calgarians. These values are in our blood, so let’s be bold. I’m a Calgarian first and foremost and I love this place. I believe we have an unbelievable opportunity to invest in our city both socially and economically. Let’s say yes to the Games! Let’s say yes to Calgary! #yyc #calgary2026 #voteyescalgary2026
Humbled to represent two amazing companies and honoured to have them on my skin suit again for the 2018/2019 season. Thank you Aucerna and @rbc for all your support! It’s been a rough start the season but I’ve got my nose is to the grind stone to be prepared for World Cups 3 & 4. Not the best cards I’ve been dealt, but I’ve won with worse. 🃏 #rbcolympians #aucerna #thesweatlife 📸: @pieterstoffel
It’s Canadian Championships week and the boys are buzzin’! Let’s get it. 🤙🏽 500m 2.00pm Sunday (21st), 1000m 1.30pm Monday (22nd) at @theolympicoval. #thesweatlife #yyc #yycevents
Since everyone is posting about #yyc first snowfall, I thought I’d reminisce when Calgary was a little more yellow and orange, rather than white. AKA three days ago. This photo makes me pretty happy though. #ohana #family 📸:@thebugparade

First sledge hockey game, first sledge hockey celly! About Saturday; what an amazing and humbling experience! Not only did we raise $30,000 (and counting) for @starsambulence & @strazstrong but it reinforced my respect and admiration for our Paralympic athletes. These guys are absolute studs and to see them play hockey through the adversity, for our country, at such a high level and with a smile is nothing short of inspiring. Thank you @dolancody & @cederstrand25 for showing us the ropes! 📸: @davehollandpics
