The first man to ever score over 50 goals in the NHL has died. The Chicago Blackhawks confirmed on Monday that Bobby Hull died at the age of 84, but no further details were provided.

It’s fortunate that a woman was not seriously injured or even killed after a boulder crashed through the wall of a Hawaii home. A security camera captured the incident in which the boulder ploughed through the wall of the home and barely missed the homeowner inside.

Tragedy has struck the remote Cree northern Ontario community of Peawanuck. A fire on Saturday claimed the life of a 10-year-old girl. The community does not have any fire services, but purchased a fire truck two years ago. Unfortunately, Peawanuck is only accessible by ice roads during the winter and it hasn’t been thick enough over the past two years to transport the truck to the community.
