At Home Hockey Training

At-Home Hockey Training Hockey is in a tough spot right now. The COVID-19 epidemic has forced a lot of hockey leagues to shut down and there’s no real indication on when they’ll reopen. Some are open, but with heavy restrictions on the number of players allowed in the facility and certain procedures in place to help [...]

That Time The Stanley Cup Was Canceled

Given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and how quickly things can change, it’s completely plausible that the NHL playoffs might not actually end up happening. Blasphemy, I know. But if states in the U.S. opening up early have taught us anything, it's that this isn't going away anytime soon. Training camps are starting, and we’ve been given glimpses of [...]

Everything You Need To Know About The 2021 NHL Expansion Draft

Who will the NHL Seattle team be? Maybe the Totems, the Seals, the Sockeyes or Rainiers — or, if legendary and apparently coffee-loving sports columnist Mike Downey has anything to say about it, the Starpucks. But, more important, when the NHL comes to Seattle in 2021, who will the team include player-wise? The 2021 NHL expansion [...]

Should The NHL Allow Its Players To Play In The Olympics?

Until the 2018 Games, National Hockey League players had participated in five straight Winter Olympics. When the league, squabbling with the International Olympic Committee over associated costs, pulled the plug on NHL Olympics participation in 2018, reaction was swift.

​The Best of the Worst Hockey Equipment Gimmicks

Any sport that relies on gear as much as hockey does is, every so often, going to be presented with the Next Big Thing, that latest-and-greatest innovation that will revolutionize the game — or at least your ability to play it. Of course, some of these “advances” have proven less than advantageous. Not all equipment gimmicks [...]

Stick Insight: Duncan Keith

Duncan Keith, those who know him well say fondly, is a freak. Now more than 1,000 games into his Blackhawks career, the three-time Stanley Cup champion defenseman describes himself as a “biohacker” who uses infrared lights, electromagnetic mats and hydrogen inhalers in pursuit of every advantage. At Michigan State, where he played his college hockey, player fitness and endurance is measured with something [...]

How To Become A Faster Skater

Widely regarded as the fastest team sport, hockey requires speed. While a lot of coaches preach about speed with the puck, speed without it may be more important. After all, think about how often you see two players racing toward a puck compared to one skating away with it. Yes, some players naturally skate faster than others — but [...]

How To Pick The Perfect Hockey Stick

Did you ever watch one of those home rehab shows? You know, where the school teacher and the pharmacy tech are shopping for their dream house and settle for a half-million-dollar fixer-upper? Whichever home they enter, someone has something to say about the color on the walls — which is absolutely the least important factor on which to fixate. Think about [...]

Skate Guards or Skate Soakers?

Not everyone uses hockey skate guards. Not everyone uses skate soakers. Yet when it comes to skate blade covers (and yes, as far as we’re concerned, guards and soakers are two different items under the umbrella term, “skate covers”), hockey players should probably use both. Quality versions of either can be had for less than $20. In the end, [...]

Can Ovechkin Break Gretzky’s NHL Goals Record?

The NHL goal record shouldn’t be in anyone’s reach. Wayne Gretzky set the mark of 894 in a goals-happy era, 93 goals past the previous leader. In subsequent, decidedly less offensive times, no player has mounted a realistic run at the Great One’s career total. Yet, heading into the 2019-20 season, here sits 33-year-old Alex Ovechkin, 13th among players with the [...]
