4. Eminem’s new album has hit shelves

With all the Star Wars talk today, it might be easy to forget that one of the world’s biggest music stars has released a new album.

The 2018 IIHF World Junior Championship is right around the corner (December 26th to January 5th) and Canada’s roster is one step closer to being finalized after a round of cuts on Thursday.
