Road Trip: Cancelled
Every year, I look at the schedules of the teams near HBIC Headquarters and try to map out a potential road trip where I can see as many games as possible. Normally, there are all sorts of things that get in the way where the total number of games that I could see drops to a few, but this year seemed to have the stars align for such a trip. Based on the title of this article, however, I have decided against taking this trip and I'll discuss why below. For now, let's take a look at my proposed ...

Une Année Supplémentaire
If you don't recognize the stylized "S" to the left, that's ok because I had no idea that the Université de Sherbrooke Vert-et-Or used that as a logo. As you may know, Sherbrooke was looking to get into men's and women's hockey at the U SPORTS level with the addition of hockey teams by 2027 thanks to a generous donation . With Laval ready to go this season, I had assumed that SHerbrooke had pushed their scheduling up to bring their team into the RSEQ at the same time. It turns out that not eve...

Today in NHL History - Gretzky Trade (EDM-LA)
On August 9th in 1988, Oilers owner Peter Pocklington sold the greatest player in the history of the game to the Kings for two players, three picks, and millions in cash.
