The Hockey Show , Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is back tonight with our normal setup as the Olympics are over, the Paralympics are a week from starting, the NHL is back, and all of the craziness involved with those changes can be discussed. I'm not sure I've ever felt as less excited for hockey as I was last night with NHL players being back on the ice after what we witnessed in Milano-Cortina, but it's going to be hard for the NHL to replicate the hocke...

The New Jersey Devils are a team in limbo. For the past four seasons, they’ve flipped between looking like a good team and being a mediocre team. In 2022-23, they finished with a 52-22-8 record, knocking off the New York Rangers in the first round. Due to goaltending struggles, they missed the 2024 playoffs, but…

The Crimson Tide has one of the very many successful club programs in the south (most SEC schools have solid club programs). As no surprise, some immediately speculated that Alabama Division I hockey could be on the horizon. A CHN reader sent me a message through X on Wednesday laying out the case for the program...

You might recognize the player to the left if you're a Winnipeg Jets fan. That's CJ Suess who skated for both the Jets and the AHL's Manitoba Moose in his career before deciding to take his talents overseas to Germany this past season where he signed with the Dresden Eislöwen . There was no doubt that this was going to be a tough season for the Eislöwen as they had been promoted from the DEL2 last season to play in the Penny DEL this season against some of the German superpowers like Berlin, M...

With the Olympics in the rearview mirror, we’re back to… what was it again? That league with all the teams and the six-month season? Right, the NHL, that was it. The NHL is back. Feel the excitement. But while the Olympic tournament is over and some of us might be eager to move on , now might be a good time to wonder about whether the NHL could learn something from how the tournament was structured. No, I don’t mean using 3-on-3 overtime to settle championships – fans around the world seem to ...
