The Rundown - Week 8
Eight teams were back in action across western Canada this weekend as the Canada West women's hockey schedule saw games played in three of the four provinces.

If we're following trends from the first half of the season, there are seven teams vying for six playoff spots at this po...
Sunday Scramble: Rantanen’s bizarre mean streak, Maloney’s mystifying mindset, and the Avs’ dominance
When did Mikko Rantanen become such a goon?

Wayne Gretzky was traded for the second time, Mario Lemieux retired, Patrick Roy was traded, and NHL expansion exploded. On the ice, teams were coming up with alternate, thir...
