The Calgary Flames wrapped up the Rasmus Andersson saga on January 18 by sending the 29-year-old right-shot defenceman to the Vegas Golden Knights , and the picks were the headline, but an underrated piece of the deal is Zach Whitecloud . He arrives at 29 with a Stanley Cup ring from 2023, a reputation as a trusted penalty killer, and a contract that contenders love, as he's in year four of a six-year deal at a $2.75 million cap hit through 2027-28. That is exactly the kind o...

The Islanders met a moribund rival and soundly defeated the Rangers, who logged their fewest shots ever in the history of this derby rivalry. That team over there looked to be sleepwalking, outside of a few dangerous chances that the Isles maddeningly conceded. Maybe it was a bit of numbed shock in reaction to Artemi […]

Having been able to watch her play before she became a professional hockey player, there was never any doubt that former StFX X-Woman sniper Sarah Bujold had the talent to continue playing. Her 2016-17 season where she scored 24 goals and 43 points in 24 games is still one of the best seasons in recent U SPORTS history, and the only award she seemed to be missing from her trophy cabinet was a U SPORTS National Championship. What also stands out from that five-year period is that she only spent...
