This time of year provides young players an opportunity in the NHL, and Chris Bigras and Zach Hyman took advantage of it to score their first NHL goals. Plenty of other…

Who is the Little Mermaid? For me, when I was growing up, all I knew was Disney’s version. The Little Mermaid was a teenager named Ariel who fell in love with a prince named Eric. He was on land; she was in the sea. Going against her father’s advice, Ariel goes to the sea witch Ursula so that she can walk on land as well.

Disney’s film Zootopia could not have come at a better time. Race relations within the United States today are increasingly becoming worse. Especially concerning issues involving the Criminal Justice system. When one looks closely at this film, it tackles these issues head on. Even more, Zootopia takes these controversial topics and turns them into a story meant for not only kids, but also for adults. While Disney has attempted to tackle some very important social issues, this one in particular…
