I admit that I don't spot a lot about Canada West men's hockey on HBIC. My focus when I first started this blog was to get more exposure on the women's game, but the men's game likely deserves the same effort when it comes to coverage. Frankly, someone could likely make a solid living if they were paid to cover Canada West hockey, but I'm not about to dive head-first into that venture being that I already devote one full day to Canada West. Tonight, however, I need to talk about the men's hock...
One defenceman that the Edmonton Oilers have been linked to is Oliver Ekman-Larsson.

It’s not often that you see the reigning Presidents’ Trophy winners sell at the following deadline. However, that is the case of the Winnipeg Jets this season.
