There is one mascot in hockey, however, who has worked for a number of teams in his career, and one o...
What's the deal with NHL GMs who go from genius to dunce after switching jobs?
Seven years ago, the Red Wings pulled off the near-impossible: They made a move that absolutely everyone loved. Their own fans, who were thrilled. Other fan bases, who were grudgingly jealous. The media. The experts. The insiders. The nerds. All 200 hockey men. Everyone agreed: Hiring Steve Yzerman as GM was a slam dunk. The news landed one Friday morning, somehow both coming out of nowhere while also feeling like we’d known it all along. Of course the captain was coming home. After an apprent...

The Final Day
The HBIC Music Festival comes to a close today on this third day of looking at musicians wearing or holding hockey jerseys, and it's a day where every other league outside of the NHL gets to shine.

In saying that, though, these musicians seen today are doing their part in supporting the lesser-seen teams! Of course, if you know of a band or artist I've mi...
