Pittsburg Penguin Matt Cooke will keep his skates off the ice for what’s left of the season. Cooke was suspended for the rest of the season after elbowing New York Ranger Ryan McDonagh on Sunday.

McDonagh wasn’t seriously hurt by the hit.

Cooke will miss the next 10 season games and the first round of the playoffs. The NHL vice president says this wasn’t the first time Cooke misbehaved and he deserves the suspension.

Cooke has a history of playing dirty. Last March he hit Boston Bruins player Marc Savard, forcing him to miss the rest of the season.

Political Science students will be heading to the polls to elect a new executive Tuesday and Wednesday. A couple familiar faces will be running for President.

Former ASFA President and CSU Councillor candidate for Team Action Aaron Green. And this year’s ASFA VP Finance runner-up Pier-Luc Therrien Peloquin will duke it out for the position. Green heads team Dynamic while Peloquin is pulling for Team Voice.

Political Science students are invited to vote on the 12th floor of the Hall building.

A Quebec coalition wants to permanently close the province’s only nuclear facility due to the crisis in Japan. The coalition of politicians and activists says Quebec’s Gentilly-two power plant is too dangerous to maintain. They met in Montreal to discuss their mutual goal in ending any further investment in the power plant.

Montrealers came out to attend the 178th St, Patrick's Day parade on Sunday. The parade started of at Fort Street at noon and ended a little before three at Phillips Square.

The show went on this year with no incidents. Last year, a 20 year old man from laval suffered a tragic death during the parade. Measures of prevention were hicked up this year with an additional fifteen thousand dollars spent on security.

St. Patrick was an Irish blessing this year. It is reported that the parade was an upbeat one despite last year’s tragedy.
