We are publishing this series in response to suggestions from our readers, who want more coverage of more people in BiographyToday.Several volumes, covering Artists, Authors, Scientists and Inventors, Sports Figures, and World Leaders, have appeared thus far in the Subject Series. Each of these hardcover volumes is 200 pages in length and covers approximately 10 individuals of inter- est to readers ages 9 and above. The length and format of the entries are like those found in the regular issues of BiographyToday,but there is no duplica- tion between the regular series and the special subject volumes. Volume Eight Devoted to Olympic Athletes The 2002 Olympic Winter Games, held in Salt Lake City, Utah, were an ex- citing series of sporting events that showcased some of the best athletic tal- ent in the world. That's why this special volume in our Biography Today Sport Series is devoted to Olympic athletes. The 2002 Olympics provided a wide range of sports, from ice hockey (Cammi Granato) to skiing (Simon Ammann, Shannon Bahrke, Jonny Mose ly), to snowboarding (Kelly Clark, Chris Klug), and much more. The 2002 Olympics featured the first time that skeleton was included as a medal sport (Jim Shea, Jr.) and also featured the first black athlete ever to win a gold medal at the Winter Olympics (Vonetta Flowers, for bobsled). Above all, the Winter Olympics showcased the deter- mination, sacrifice, and hard work it takes to become a great athlete. We know you'll enjoy their stories. The Plan of the Work As with the regular issues of BiographyToday,this special subject volume on Sports was especially created to appeal to young readers in a format they can enjoy reading and readily understand.

    Ed Meagher Arena Unveiling

    ED MEAGHER ARENA UNVEILING NOVEMBER 2013 NEWS RELEASE RENOVATED ED MEAGHER ARENA UNVEILED CONCORDIA STINGERS HIT THE ICE NHL STYLE Montreal, November 20, 2013 — Not only are the Concordia Stingers back on home ice after the reopening of the Ed Meagher Arena, they’re now competing on a brand new rink surface that conforms to National Hockey League specifications. The modernized arena features the latest and most cutting-edge technology on the market today — an eco-friendly carbon dioxide (CO2) ice refrigeration system. The technology, developed in Quebec, means the arena can operate 11 months a year, compared to seven using the former ammonia system. In addition to a new ice surface and boards, fans will appreciate the new heating system; the burning of natural gas has been replaced by recycled heat generated by the new refrigeration system. The renovations – made possible by a joint investment of $7.75 million from the Government of Quebec and Concordia — involved an expansion of 2,500 sq. ft. The new space boasts larger changing rooms, an equipment storage room, and two new changing rooms for soccer and rugby players. Other renovations include window replacements and a new ventilation and dehumidification system. ABOUT THE ED MEAGHER ARENA AND ITS ATHLETES The Ed Meagher Arena plays host to approximately 40 Stingers men’s and women’s hockey games a year. The Concordia hockey players proudly represent the university at an elite level competing against some of the best teams in North America. Over the years, many talented athletes — including Olympians and NHLers — have developed their skills as members of the Stingers or its founding institutions’ teams.
