Blackhawks prospect and Minnesota-Duluth netminder Adam Gajan has been named to the Mike Richter Award Watch List , which is given annually to the top goalie in men’s NCAA Division I hockey. This adds another strong moment to a really good, bounce-back year for Gajan. Last week, Gajan was named to the 2026 Slovakia Olympic Team. Right after Christmas, Gajan earned a silver medal in the 2025 Spengler Cup as part of the the U.S. Collegiate Selects team. Gajan, 21, was originally a seco...

The Toronto Maple Leafs signed Jani Hakanpaa in the summer of 2024 despite a chronic knee issue. The big, physical defenseman managed to play in just two games for the Buds as he spent most of last season still recovering from his latest knee procedures. But it appears that all is well (or at least as well as can be) with the 6-foot-7 d-man's health, as he has signed a contract for the rest of the 2026 season—in his native Finland. Maple Leafs LEGEND Jani Hakanpaa has signed a one-year d...

Well, I’m expecting a bit of a procession here. I may have already started work on the announcement article, to be honest. 🙂 But, hey, I think it’s fair to say that this year worked better on an individual level for the team, than as a collective.

If you want to criticize an NFL team, the 2025 New York Jets provided you with an extremely target rich environment. Aside from special teams and to a lesser extent the offensive line, the team had virtually no bright spots. You name it. The Jets did it poorly. That’s why it was so odd all […]

The Philadelphia Flyers hit the road looking to get back on track after two blowout losses against the Tampa Bay Lightning to end a four-game homestand. Philadelphia has now lost three games in a row, going back to the overtime defeat against Toronto, and could be staring a five-game losing streak in the face if they lose tonight, as they’re just 2-3-1 in the second half of back-to-backs this season. The Flyers did get some good news on Wednesday morning, though, with defenseman Jamie Dry...

The Toronto Maple Leafs have surged back into a playoff spot and they are looking good. They have done that while dealing with injuries and a banged up defensive group. Chris Tanev is the key piece missing from the back-end, and it doesn't look like he'll be returning to action during the regular season, so an addition is in order. David Pagnotta said, "Chris Tanev's season is probably over, for the regular season anyways. They're going to look to see if they can make an addition on that back-...

The Philadelphia Flyers prospect pool is filled with a bunch of young talent who could steadily make their way up the developmental ladder to end up being impact players in the NHL. That’s the hope, anyway. This week, though, two specific Flyers prospects decided to change up where they were playing to give them a better chance at doing exactly that. After all, if a player is stuck in a bad situation with a poor scoring environment or on a team who just can’t help but be terrible defensiv...
