Halifax Mooseheads' anthem singer battling brain cancer: ‘I drew this card'
A well-known Halifax musician says he's remaining upbeat despite a sudden cancer diagnosis. Peter Baylis has been the Halifax Mooseheads' anthem singer for more than a decade, and he's now hoping the community he's uplifted for years will help him in his new fight. 'Another door of your mind opens up when someone tells you, 'you have cancer,'' he said of his shocking diagnosis. Baylis, who is best known for his passionate renditions of the Canadian national anthem at Mooseheads' games, was diagnosed last month with a glioblastoma, an aggressive form or brain cancer. 'We are guaranteed nothing on this planet. Nothing at all,' he said.

I drew this card — you know, there it is.' Story continues below advertisement He says he's not letting this new obstacle take away his love for life. 'I will open my mind with a positive mindset that I'm going to grab this and I'm going to run through it with all my strength that I possibly can,' he said. A GoFundMe has been launched to support Baylis and his family, as he will be unable to work while undergoing chemotherapy. The team's president, Brian Urquhart, says Baylis is an integral part of the Halifax Mooseheads family and has brought a patriotic flair to the Scotiabank Centre for QMJHL games. 'Peter is a well-known anthem singer in junior hockey circles which is a little, it was not the norm, to be honest,' said Urquhart. 'It's something that he should be very proud of and we're certainly proud of to have him as part of our family.' Baylis hopes to help others dealing with glioblastoma as he goes through his treatment process, and also dreams of returning to a stage sooner rather than later. 'Because I feel very, very at home and at ease in that particular moment because I'm so darn proud of what I'm doing,' he said.

ANALYSIS: It's been 32 long years since a Canadian team won the Stanley Cup
You've heard it time and time again. It's been 32 years since a Canadian-based team was able to skate around the ice carrying the Stanley Cup. And here we are, with one game done and another one to be played Friday night in Edmonton, with Canada's last hope now just three games away from the ultimate goal. Thirty-two long, frustrating years. Story continues below advertisement As a country of 40 million, we can proudly say it's our passion for hockey and for our local teams that makes the NHL tick. We have kept the NHL relevant. And even more emphatically, Wednesday's first game of the Stanley Cup final between the Oilers and Florida Panthers was viewed by 4.5 million Canadians. That's two million more viewers than watched south of the border, in a country with a population eight times larger.

Teams like the Winnipeg Jets have better ratings than Boston, New York, Detroit and Chicago. It's hard to imagine. Oh sure, there are great franchises and great stories amongst the 25 teams based in the United States. But understand, this truly is our country's league. With almost half of the players Canadian, and so much of the business success around the NHL driven by Canadian markets and Canadian dollars, it's important to know that we treat this league differently than the other major pro sports leagues. Story continues below advertisement Yes, it's a business — big business and getting bigger all the time. But in our country, hockey is a public trust. For sure, the expectation of any or all of the fan bases in Canada is to win, but fans invest more than money. We feel the anguish of every loss, the joy of every goal, the pain of every hit. We don't watch hockey, we live it. That's why 32 years feels oh, so long. And there are still no guarantees that the streak won't get longer.
