Well by now you have probably heard the NHL and NHLPA have come to an agreement on the new CBA but in case you haven't been keeping up there are some new urban dictionary definitions for CBA
10. Challenging Bettman's Authority
9. Coffers Bare Again
8. Concussions, Boardings Await
7. Conflicts Benefit Accountants
6. Copycatting Basketball Association's (shortened season from last year)
5. Consistently Belligerent Arguing
4. Canadians Blow-up Again (Oops - that one is for the WJHC)
3.Cherry-Bettman Allegiance. (FYI-Don Cherry credit's Bettman for saving the season. That's good because everyone credit him for jeopardizing it in the first place.)
2. Cap Buyouts Already?
1. Can't Believe Again (Will this be the sentiment of previous hockey fans)
Funny Top Tens on NHL Hockey, Technology, Investing, and other Canadian stuff, eh.

Top Ten people like Fiscal Cliff
Happy New Year everyone! Now that the US Government has avoided that "Fiscal Cliff" guy here are the Top Ten other "financial" people you'll be hearing about 2013:
10. Portfolio Mat (as in your stock portfolio is going to hit the floor)
9. Deficit Dug (as in the hole the US has made)
8. Ryan Coke (needed after seeing your pension fund values)
7. Penny Stock (what will start piling up when the 1 cent coin is no longer in use in Canada)
6. James Bond (as in who you will have to be more daring than to invest in these securities).
5. Don Tworry and wife Bea Happy. (what we should really do about all this fear-mongering)
4.Thor Heins (yes, that sounds fictional - or maybe a like an NHL backup goalie but Blackberry fans will recognize this guy as the CEO for Research in Motion, who will be treated like a Norse God if the Blackberry 10 smart phone manages to reverse RIM's sagging stock price.)
3. Fertilizer Phil (what those politicians are full of)
2. Ultra Violet (what color you'll turn when you see what's coming NEXT year)
and the number one guy you'll be hearing about in 2013
1. Market Bob (how the stock market Jumps up and down like a 4 year old on a Christmas morning sugar rush!)

Top Ten Hobbies during the NHL Lockout
This NHL Lockout thing is just draggging on and on. Just when we had a glimmer of hope last week with an offer from the NHL our hopes are dashed when they turn down 3 counter proposals from the NHLPA. So to help you endure those quiet wintery Saturday nights without hockey here are:
The Top Ten Hobbies during the NHL Lockout
10.Watch Grass Hockey/Field hockey (hey it's the only way you'll see green grass this winter where I come from)
9. Take up Photoshop so you can make pictures of Gary Bettman like these
8. Throwing Darts (like at pictures of Gary Bettman and Donald Fehr)
7. Watch Ice Skating
6. Watch Curling (you can pretend the rocks hitting each other is Raffe Torres giving Gary Bettman a concussion).
5.Take up geography so you can follow which team is moving where like the Oilers to Seattle, The Islanders to Brooklyn, and the Nashville Predators to Markam Ontario.(and of of these is actually true!)
4.Go to University and study for a PHD in economics so you can actually decipher the cryptic logic of the actual NHL Proposal. (How many ways can you split something 50/50??)
3.Take up Gockey (as seen on Dragon's Den)
2. Learn to dance Gangnam Style (like that trend hasn't jumped the shark already)
1. Plan a road trip to tour all the breweries in North America ( where else would you see as much beer as you do at a hockey game!?)
