Were You There? Over 200 Wonderful, Weird, and Wacky Moments from the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa (1996-2020)By: Stephen MulliganJust like his first two books, Were You There? Over 300 Wonderful, Weird and Wacky Moments from the Pittsburgh Civic/Mellon Arena and Were You There? Over 300 Wonderful, Weird and Wacky Moments from Pittsburgh's Three Rivers Stadium, author Stephen Mulligan continues his series with this latest book, Were You There? Over 200 Wonderful, Weird and Wacky Moments from Ottawa's Canadian Tire Centre (1996-2020). Here, Stephen takes readers on another memorable journey of special events.Beginning with its opening day on January 15, 1996 to 2020, the book details 25 years of the hits and misses of this west end Ottawa structure. Many of the greatest moments came from the accomplishments of athletes and entertainers who performed there. They include Wayne Gretzky, Daniel Alfredsson, Eric Lindros, Alexander Ovechkin, Sidney Crosby, Neil Diamond, U2, Bruce Springsteen, Alanis Morissette, The Tragically Hip, Stompin' Tom Connors and several others. All of these talented individuals/groups, along with a host of "ordinary" folks have a moment(s) in this book. Were You There?About the AuthorAuthor Stephen Mulligan was born in Ottawa, Ontario, but raised in Hull and Aylmer (now both part of Gatineau), Quebec. Like most Canadian kids, he started playing hockey at a young age. He recalls many bitterly cold weekends skating on outdoor rinks while freezing his fingers and toes. After his hockey days were over, Stephen focused his energies on academics. Since the early 1980s, he received a C.E.G.E.P. diploma in Social Sciences, a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology from the University of Ottawa, and three other diplomas from various post-secondary institutions in Canada. Stephen has worked in the social service field for almost 30 years. In between jobs, he and his wife, Mariana, moved to the United States in 2004. They lived in the greater Pittsburgh area for 11 years, but presently live in beautiful Savannah, Georgia. Stephen enjoys writing, traveling, swimming, and attending sporting and music events.
