The Hockey Show , Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is back tonight with a full recap show of some of the events that happened last weekend in Elmira, in Halifax, and in Winnipeg. Honestly, it was a busy weekend of hockey action in those three cities, and our hosts will try to bring everyone up to speed on what happened in those cities. Frankly, it was a very entertaining weekend of hockey no matter which event one focused on, so we'll look at the two tournam...
Based on what I know about Kendra Woodland, I don't think she concerns herself with being the first to do anything. I assume it would be nice to be the first to accomplish something big, but everything I've read and heard about Kendra suggests that she only wants to be her best self when she's in net to help her team. Tonight in Minnesota, she finally got that chance with her new team as the Ottawa Charge called upon her to make her first appearance in the PWHL, marking only the second time th...
There’s plenty left to be decided in the Pacific Division with three weeks to play. The Ducks lead the way with a 40-27-4 record, five points up on Edmonton and six points ahead of Vegas, with one game in hand on both teams. If neither team can catch Anaheim, the stretch drive will be about…
A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
Fans of both the Edmonton Oilers and Vegas Golden Knights can commiserate about a season that has fallen well below expectations so far. Despite their struggles, the Pacific Division won’t let them quit. The Oilers began their weekly cycle of getting back to basics and playing a committed defensive game, blocking 24 shots against the…

It was almost deja vu for the Quinnipiac Bobcats. A sizable lead going into the third period, trimmed to one in the final five minutes of the game.Coming off a heartbreaking 4-3 loss in the ECAC quarterfinals to Clarkson, where the Bobcats held a 3-1 advantage in the last eight minutes of the game, Quinnipiac made sure that the buy-in was there throughout the night in its NCAA Tournament matchup against...
Taking the first three penalties of a game, in the first period, is hardly recipe for success at any time, but especially in an NCAA Tournament game, where you needed to get back in the groove after two weeks off.But the Michigan State penalty kill came to play and largely shut down a Connecticut team that brought its 'A' game. The Spartans' penalty kill went 5-for-5, and Michigan State scored a big...
There’s long been debate about neutral sites for NCAA Tournament regionals, and at MVP Arena, it’s no different.It’s crowded here in Albany, with four teams sharing a single hallway, and as a result, the conditions aren’t ideal — even if Minnesota-Duluth senior captain Joey Pierce praised MVP Arena’s pleasant exterior.“The ice wasn’t great,” he said, but that’s not an excuse, as...
Plenty of talent and NCAA Tournament experience will descend on Loveland, Colo., this weekend with a trip to Las Vegas on the line.Western Michigan is the No. 4 national seed and has 26 wins on its resume, while Denver is coming off an NCHC Tournament title. Minnesota State defeated St. Thomas last Saturday in the CCHA championship game – claiming its fourth Mason Cup in five years – and Cornell...
Recap of the game.
One of the Edmonton Oilers’ top prospects will be heading to college this fall. On Wednesday morning, Edmonton Journal’s Jim Matheson reported that 2025 third-round pick Tommy Lafrenière will join Western Michigan University for the 2026-27 season. Oilers draft winger Tommy Lafreniere who had 41 goals for Kamloops this season is off to powerhouse Western…
A lightly attended skate today in Winnipeg after last night's big win over Vegas.
The Edmonton Oilers loaned forward James Hamblin back to the AHL’s Bakersfield Condors on Wednesday morning. Hamblin was recalled from the Condors on an emergency basis on Tuesday ahead of the Oilers’ contest against the Utah Mammoth. The 26-year-old travelled to Utah, but did not play, as the Oilers defeated the Mammoth 5-2. The decision…
Jets add an undrafted free agent to the organization.
You would go crazy trying to figure out why the Edmonton Oilers’ range of play has been so volatile this season. Some games they look like a team destined for the draft lottery, and others, like last night, remind you why overlooking them to make another deep playoff run is foolish. The Oilers controlled the…
The Oilers needed a win on Tuesday to avoid falling into a three-game skid, but nobody needed one more than Tristan Jarry. The goaltender Edmonton acquired to stabilize things between the pipes had been pushed into a backup role earlier this month following a 7-2 loss to the Dallas Stars. The former Penguin posted a…
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous about Tuesday’s game against the Mammoth, given how poorly the Edmonton Oilers had played in their last two games, but to our collective delight, we saw a much different team against Utah. Unlike what we got against Florida and Tampa Bay, the Oilers were much tighter…
For the first time in a decade, the Maple Leafs are playing out a stretch run with no playoff implications. While they haven’t been mathematically eliminated quite yet, the Leafs have been a dead team skating since the week after the Olympic break, when they vowed to make a late playoff push and then immediately face-planted to the tune of eight straight losses. It’s over. This team stinks. Hello darkness my old friend, and all that. But that’s the twist this time, because it’s been ten years ...
It was a milestone game for the Edmonton Oilers in their 5-2 win over the Utah Mammoth on Tuesday night. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins kicked things off by scoring his 800th NHL point, assisting on Jack Roslovic’s first goal of the game, only to be usurped by two big milestones for Connor McDavid. He hit both of…

The Albany region features two conference champions — Michigan, winners of the Big Ten, and Bentley, winners of Atlantic Hockey for the second season in a row.Michigan and Bentley are joined by Minnesota-Duluth and Penn State. UMD is coming off a double-overtime loss to Denver in the NCHC Championship.Penn State was defeated by Michigan, 5-2, in the semifinals of the Big Ten Tournament, and is one...
The end of the NCHC season for Western Michigan didn’t go to plan with the loss in the Tournament semifinal game to Denver. A game that could’ve gone either way ended in heartbreak for WMU, an OT loss at Denver.But Western has won plenty over the last few years, and can just as easily reset and turn its attention to the NCAA Tournament, where it will have another chance to earn hardware.There...
All four teams arrived here Tuesday ahead of Thursday’s opening round of the NCAA Tournament, and if there’s a snapshot that captures the chaos of the 2025–26 season, it’s this — the only conference champion in the building is the No. 4 seed.That would be Merrimack.Not only that, the Warriors are the only team in this regional that advanced past its conference quarterfinals.Figure that one...
The last two seasons, Michigan State went right from emotional Big Ten Tournament championship victories, into the cauldron of the NCAA Tournament Regionals.Each time, the Spartans left disappointed.So this year, coming off a loss in the Big Ten semifinals to Ohio State, the Spartans will have not played for 10 days. In other words, they have time to rest, to re-focus, and re-generate the hunger.No...
