Remembering 10 stars who lost their best Olympic opportunity in 2018 and 2022

We’re about to hit a whole bunch of important Olympic milestones. The NHL break starts tomorrow night. The first preliminary round games are next Wednesday. The medal round starts two weeks from tomorrow. Construction on the arena should be finished shortly after that. The point is, this happening. And that’s big, because as every hockey fan knows, the NHL hasn’t been to an Olympics since 2014. That’s 12 years ago, which is a long wait for fans. But it’s also a big gap for the players – big en...

Gavin McKenna, Penn State's freshman phenom and favorite to be No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NHL Draft, has been charged with felony assault and three other charges following an incident near campus Saturday...

TBC: Tales From The Bus Leagues

If you've ever had a chance to sit and chat with a professional hockey player in a less-formal setting, you know that all players have about a million stories from their careers they enjoy telling. Minor-league hockey players always seem to have more of the crazier stories thanks to there being less cameras and eyeballs on them, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to add another great read to the library that is all about one man's hockey experiences. Teebz's Book Club is proud to review Tal...

Cheer, Don't Jeer!

I will occasionally drop in on a hockey game at an unspecified rink around town just to watch the action. My scouting resumé is nothing more than a blank sheet of paper since I've never been hired as a scout nor have I ever been asked to scout a player, but I know enough from watching games at the university level what I'd be seeking if I ever was asked to scout players. What a lot of people may not see is that the experience of sitting in the stands and listening and observing parents can go ...

Oilers’ Leon Draisaitl, Mattias Ekholm talk about Calvin Pickard going on waivers: ‘Great goalie and a great human being’

On Sunday, Edmonton Oilers goaltender Calvin Pickard was placed on NHL waivers, eventually clearing on Monday. Before the transaction was officially through, there was worry in the Edmonton locker room that Pickard could be claimed by another team. The 33-year-old goaltender played a big role in helping the Oilers to back-to-back Stanley Cup Final appearances…

Looking at the Oilers cap situation after Pickard cleared waivers

After being placed on waivers on Sunday, Calvin Pickard cleared on Monday. The Oilers were putting off a tough decision, given that, from all accounts, Pickard appears to be a well-liked member of the dressing room. Although he’s been huge in the playoffs when the Oilers needed him to be, the 33-year-old has struggled in…

Team of the Week: Miami

After going 3-28-3 last season, the Miami RedHawks have climbed to 16-8-2 and 7-7-2 in NCHC play, and No. 19 in the NPI, following a series sweep at St. Cloud State last weekend. For a program that has spent years buried at the bottom of the standings, the turnaround under second-year head coach Anthony Noreen has been remarkable to see...

Major Losses In Stavely

I have never been to Stavely, Alberta, but the town was shaken to its core tonight upon hearing the news that three young hockey players lost their lives today following an automobile accident. The three players from the Southern Alberta Mustangs were reportedly headed to practice when their small car collided with a truck carrying gravel at an intersection just outside of town on Highway 2. This is a heartbreaking moment for the town and the team, and I can't imagine the grief that is being s...

If there was any doubt about whether Connor McDavid loves the city of Edmonton and wants to win a Stanley Cup with the Oilers, then read the man’s words for yourself.  Connor McDavid penned a Player’s Tribune article published on Monday titled ‘Dear Canada’ that talks about his tenure in Edmonton, the upcoming Olympics, and…
