We’re finally watching Olympic best-on-best hockey for the first time in 12 years. And so far, it kind of rules. The last time the league sent its players to an Olympics, I wrote a piece where I picked the ten best NHL Olympians. The idea was to weight both sides equally – NHL success, and Olympic success – and rank the best of the best. It's been so long that I’d completely forgotten about that piece, and only stumbled on it recently . And it kind of made me want to revisit it. Of cours...

For the first time since 2019, Leon Draisaitl suited up in black, red, and yellow.

The Hockey Show , Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is back with the second week of Olympic hockey chatter as the Milano-Cortina Olympiad continues.

What shouldn't be forgotten is that even small mistakes in a competition can effect the outcome of the even...

On top of that, Draisaitl was recently named…
Connor McDavid has been waiting his entire life for this moment. Representing Canada on the international Olympic stage, a chance to be “pulling on that sweater, being in a room with the different generations of great players,” as he said in his Players’ Tribune piece last week, is something that’s taken far too long to…
It was a tough weekend for the Edmonton Oilers’ AHL affiliate Bakersfield Condors as they dropped both games in the home-and-home to the Ontario Reign in regulation. Leaving the weekend without a point gives the Reign an eight-point swing in a tight Pacific Division race. Before the weekend started, the Condors were sitting at 55…

So here’s where we’re at: Canada plays Czechia this morning to kick off their Olympic tournament, and John Cooper still won’t tell us who’s starting in net.
