Pre-Scout: The dominance of Morgan Geekie and the Boston Bruins resurgence
Seeing the Boston Bruins logo near the top of the Atlantic Division is a familiar sight – we just didn’t think we’d see it there this season.

What Is Integrity Worth?
You may recognize the title of this article as a line delivered by actor Daniel von Bargen as Chief Grady in the 2001 smash comedy movie Super Troopers . That's him pictured to the left in a GIF where he delivers the line, and it seems like the most appropriate line for what's happening in the EIHL with the Fife Flyers. They are routinely one of the worst teams in the EIHL dating back to 2019-20, and they are heading towards missing the playoffs for the third-straight season. So it's incompreh...

Who wins, a team of Canadians who played in Canada or Americans who played in America?
There’s a concept in international best-on-best hockey that some causal fans may not be completely familiar with, mainly because I made it up just now: The double player. It’s a player who’s represents his country both internationally and in the NHL. A double Canadian is a Canadian player who plays on a Canadian NHL team. A double American is an American player who plays on an American NHL team. Jack Eichel is a double American. Matthew Tkachuk became one when he forced his way out from Calgar...

Protect Your Noggin
If there's one concern that every hockey player, hockey parent, and hockey coach has, it's the safety of the game when it comes to players remaining healthy and in the line-up. One of the biggest injuries that keeps players on the sideline are concussions, and it's a scary injury because of how serious it can be since we can't see the severity of the injury outside of symptoms. It's also scary when one knows that concussions can get worse if a players rushes back, and there can be long-term ef...
