A Whirlwind Of Change

I spent the weekend looking for some fun stories after a couple of newsworthy firings last week, and it seems that the whole hockey world is now either terminating people or having people step away from the game. Four significant hockey people over the last two days will be absent for the future, and it's hard to understand why the terminations had to happen as they did. I get there are likely reasons for the two men being fired, but the loss of the man and woman who have decided to take a ste...
