The cat to the left is not HBIC CEO Meg, but Meg is sleeping noisily next to me. I sit here and giggle quietly as she snores audibly enough that she's competing with the hockey game on TV, but I'm somewhat envious of her as I could use more sleep after what was a busy weekend. Between being up early to watch the U SPORTS National Championships to running around to watch PWHL hockey to just trying to get some stuff done around the house, I burned the candle at both ends this weekend so I'm taki...

Despite Namestnikov and Niederrieter skating in yellow nothing new for them or Miller.
The National Hockey League’s regular season ends in less than a month, and who knows how long the Edmonton Oilers will be playing extra hockey. Right now, it’s not looking good for the back-to-back Western Conference champions. Leon Draisaitl is out for the regular season and his status for the start of the playoffs is…
It isn't often that I find myself sitting a couple stories above the ice for any game, but, yesterday, there was a big event that happened down at the rink as 15,225 people packed the Canada Life Centre for the first-ever PWHL game in the Keystone Province! Winnipeg played host to the PWHL Takeover Tour on Sunday evening with the Montreal Victoire "visiting" the Ottawa Charge, and this weekend has seen the players capture the hearts and minds of Winnipeggers who wanted to see professional wome...

One team from Quebec will celebrate loudly into the evening after capturing gold while an OUA team and an AUS team will duke it out for the bronze medal.

A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
Pressure continues to mount for the Edmonton Oilers and their Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde way of playing. In their search through the past to find their game, they’ll have to play a prehistoric animal. The Oilers homestand began with two solid victories. The homestand finished with an emotionally flat game against Florida and being…

Recap of the game.
The games started early on Saturday as the 2026 U SPORTS National Women's Hockey Championship moved into the semifinal phase of the tournament. Four teams were still in the hunt for medals while four others were trying to close out their seasons with wins. Unfortunately for fans of Canada West teams, the two representatives in Elmira, Ontario were playing for the latter as both squads lost their opening games nof the tournament. However, there was still lots to play for when it came to this se...
Connor McDavid briefly took part in Edmonton Oilers practice on Monday, but left the ice after a few minutes. No need to hold your breath, though. It was largely a maintenance day for the captain, but he still wanted to touch the ice. McDavid said it was “Just hips and groin stuff. It’s all good.” …
Reviewing how things went for the kids in the system.
Through 71 games, the Edmonton Oilers haven’t found much consistency. They’ve won three games in a row once, and they’ve yet to win four. Last season, they had nine winning streaks of three or more games, winning 3, 3, 5, 3, 4, 4, 3, 3 and 3. Winning often keeps morale high and frustration low,…
