Today I finally learned how to pronounce Antigonish properly, from a local.

Ana-gonish (with the accent on the -ish)

I wonder if it has anything to do with Antigone? (pron. "An-TI-go-nee", an Athenian tragedy written by Sophocles).

Florida seems a strange place to play ice hockey. The only Canadian sports person I can name is Devon Larratt. Go city sports team!

Way to anonymize that. It reminds me of this fine song:

No, Antigonish derives from the local Mi'kmaq indigenous language.

It's taken on a Scottish pronunciation, making the t silent, just like the d is silent in bodhran (bow-ran) - something I learned in PEI!

Learning lots of new things in this thread. How not to click on it is not one of them.
