As reigning national champion Western Michigan and the sport's winningest program Denver battled into overtime Saturday night at Magness Arena — with any onlooker realizing that neither team, nor goaltender, really "deserved" a loss, per se — a sudden, unexpected bounce was perhaps the only way this NCHC semifinal could realistically end.Finnish senior Samu Salminen, a New Jersey Devils prospect...

If we've learned one thing about Minnesota State over the years, it's that if you give it an opening, it will take it.The Mavericks built a tradition of champions under Mike Hastings, and have continued it with Luke Strand in charge, and will get another opportunity next Friday night, at home, when it takes on St. Thomas in the CCHA championship game.

The PWHL's Ottawa Charge went off the board today as they searched for another netminder among the free agent ranks. They already have former UNB Reds netminder Kendra Woodland on their roster, and they doubled the number of former U SPORTS netminders under their watch as they signed former Mount Royal Cougars stopper Kaitlyn Ross to a 10-day Standard Player Agreement! I won't try to deceive anyone here by saying that I had a little fun Photoshopping Kaitlyn into action with the Charge, but sh...

Having heard about some of the experiences that Team Manitoba's parahockey players have endured in trying to practice and play here in Manitoba, I have a better understanding about why accessibility matters. Manitoba's sledge hockey players are begging for resources and ice time so they can play more often, but those pleas often finds silence when it comes time to hitting the ice. I can't imagine what it was like for the two para athletes above when it came to mastering their chosen sport as P...

The Edmonton Oilers went 2-1-1 on their recent four-game road trip, which isn’t bad, but giving up a two-goal lead last game against the St. Louis Blues and losing in overtime certainly stung, letting a valuable point slip away. Nevertheless, there were several positives to take from the trip, including beating a dangerous Colorado Avalanche…

Only 24 hours after a wrestling match broke out at the Oilers game Thursday night in Dallas, the boys were right back to work to wrap up their road trip with a visit to St. Louis. And after getting demolished by the Stars, I was hopeful that the Oilers would respond with their best foot…

A game between the two most penalized teams in the country can only have 26 minutes’ worth of penalties. Any less would be odd.“We needed a little more discipline to beat a great team like that,” Penn State coach Guy Gadowsky said.Gadowsky’s team wasn’t the most penalized team of the night, though. Instead, it was Michigan that was constantly on the kill. But it didn’t hurt the Wolverines...

Victories in Vegas and Colorado started the trip before a non-competitive performance last night in Dallas. Despite last night’s effort, the Oilers have an opportunity to make…
