We’re doing that again today, because as you may have heard, there’s an international tournament going on. It’s called the Olympics, and the NHL was kind enough to send its players over for a change.

I guess that’s why coaches preach playing a full 60 minutes. If hockey games were only 56 minutes long, neither Team Canada nor Team Finland would be through to the semi-finals. Instead, each nation tested its mettle and ensured a spot in an Olympic medal game. For Finland, Artturi Lehkonen played the Mitch Marner role…

Exhale, Canada. If you weren’t emotionally invested in this Canadian team before Tuesday’s game against Czechia, then I would imagine that you are now. Even though the quarterfinals were much, much closer than most people expected, there was still plenty to love about that Canada game.

Team Canada’s 4-3 come-from-behind OT win over Team Czechia was an absolute thriller.

The Hockey Show , Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, somehow made it to the 700th show in its history. There aren't many weekly shows that have lasted as long as this hour has, but we're climbing the rungs of history at UMFM. When you consider that The Simpsons has been on the air for 37 seasons and only have 805 episodes to their name, we must be holding our own in the hockey chatter realm. In all honesty, though, we are grateful and thankful for each and eve...
