Here’s the thing about the Buffalo Sabres: they’re bad. Like, historically bad. They’ve missed the playoffs for 14 consecutive seasons, which is the longest drought in NHL history. They finished the 2024-25 season with a 36-39-7 record. They spent most of December in 31st place overall, tied with the Chicago Blackhawks at 26 points. This…

The Buffalo Sabres had two days off on their road trip after Friday’s loss to the Winnipeg Jets 4-1, allowing them to catch some of the cold western Canadian air before playing four road games this week.

The announcement was made on November 26, but I've been holding off on saying anything simply due to there being a lack of details on what's going to happen and when it will happen. However, the news is true: Simon Fraser University is rejoining U SPORTS and Canada West after spending the last fifteen years competing in the Division II level of the NCAA. There's a lot to be excited about when it comes to this news as the school will now review its options while reorganizing its athletics depar...

I originally wrote the title of Saturday's article about Steve Oleksy as a joke because I couldn't see any way that Oleksy was trying to come back to hockey after walking away in 2023. As you can see to the left, that comeback ended two days and two games after signing a deal with the Icemen as Jacksonville released Oleksy on Sunday before heading to Atlanta for the third game in three days against the Gladiators. And with that, it's back to family life for Steve, it seems. After Jacksonvil...

The Edmonton Oilers’ search for a goaltender nearly landed them Tristan Jarry netminder. But while rumours have swirled that the deal would send Stuart Skinner the other way, that doesn’t appear to be the case.

It took longer than they wanted, but the Edmonton Oilers seem to have found their collective stride. A mixture of rest, practice time and increased attention to detail has led to three wins in their last four games and improvements in every area of their game.

It’s not often that when you attend an Edmonton Oilers game, the organization does a cross-promotion with a video game. In the past, the Oilers have had advertising for the latest Call of Duty or NHL title. On Saturday night, however, it was World of Warcraft that was centre stage, with the game’s next expansion,…

With the holiday season around the corner, many households are firing up Will Ferrell’s Elf to get into the holiday spirit. But when I think about where the Edmonton Oilers are trending, I’m thinking more about Ferrell’s other big movie, Old School and more specifically about the line where he says, “We’re going streaking!” The…

There’s an argument to be made that the Edmonton Oilers should never take off their new cream-coloured alternate jerseys. They should wear them in the rink, wear them in the gym, and wear them at the grocery store. Because never mind there being something in the water in Edmonton: there’s something in those jerseys. The…

Penn State has had eyes on its team since April, when it made the Frozen Four for the first time in program history. Those eyes increased as the offseason went on, and the anticipation heading into the 2025-26 season was the highest it’s been in the team’s 14-year history...

Officially, we're ten weeks into the season and all nine teams are going on break for the next month as players, coaches, and staff get set for exams, holidays, and travel as many players will be returning to their homes once exams are completed. This week will also see each team officially cross the halfway wark of the season with six teams having played 18 games and three teams sitting at 16 games played.
