North Dakota fans themselves might not get too much sympathy from others for what may feel like longstanding suffering, but the reality for the Fighting Hawks is this: since winning the national championship a decade ago, UND hasn't returned to the Frozen Four, and in fact missed the NCAA Tournament entirely in two of the past three seasons.But up until 2016, North Dakota was no stranger to the big...

An official announcement is expected in the coming week.The school announced last year at the Frozen Four in St. Louis that it would upgrade to NCAA D-I if it could meet a fundraising goal of $5.5 million.

I normally save all the Canada West women's hockey chatter for Sunday on The Rundown , but tonight will need its own entry on HBIC because we might have witnessed history tonight. As you know, HBIC will push whatever article I may be working on to a later date if there's a goalie goal scored with video evidence, and it appears we have one tonight that could be very historic! The woman to the left is Manitoba Bisons netminder Emily Shippam, and she was the starter for the Bisons tonight against...
If you're a fan of Lego, you know that the company has been producing a line of minifigures over the last number of years that feature all sorts of wacky characters along with a number of licensed characters not released in sets. One of those figures that came was the one you see to the right as they had a minifigure dressed up like an ear of corn. What one would use this for in a Lego setting outside of being a mascot is harder to imagine, but what if there was a hockey team who decided to dr...
It’s Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk.

It’ll be the fourth time that Team Canada…
Playing in his debut Olympics, Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid has already set another record. Earning his 12th point of the tournament with an assist on Canada’s opening goal against Finland, McDavid now has the most points in a single Olympic tournament in the NHL era of the Games. Adding another assist on the game-winning…
Team Canada is heading to the gold medal game. On Friday morning, Team Canada took down Finland 3-2 thanks to a comeback and a late-game winning power play goal.

One of the Edmonton Oilers’ needs before March 6th’s trade deadline is to add some bottom-six scoring. There are quite a few options, such as Boone Jenner, who we already profiled earlier this month. Another option for the Oilers is St. Louis Blues captain Brayden Schenn. In Daily Faceoff’s latest trade board, Schenn was listed…
For the first time ever, Connor McDavid is officially Captain Canada at the Olympics. With Sidney Crosby out with an injury, McDavid will wear the ‘C’ for Team Canada on Friday in their semifinal matchup against Finland. Colorado Avalanche stars Cale Makar and Nathan MacKinnon will continue to serve as alternates. Sidney Crosby will not…
Welcome back to Rules Court, where we’re fixing the NHL, one new rule at a time. Usually, that means considering your suggestions. But occasionally, we like to look elsewhere for inspiration, such as stealing ideas form other leagues . 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. That NHL participation has meant that the rulebook used in the...

Sidney Crosby’s status for Canada’s Olympic semifinal against Finland is up in the air, and while the hockey world holds its breath waiting for clarity, a genuinely compelling question has emerged: if the Pittsburgh Penguins captain can’t suit up, who steps in and wears the ‘C’ against the Finns? Under IIHF rules, every team must…
“Are you not entertained?” asked Maximus Decimus Meridius in Gladiator. Those four words were fitting while watching the quarterfinal matchups in men’s Olympic hockey on Wednesday. We saw three consecutive games where a team tied the game in the final three and a half minutes and go to overtime. Canadian fans had elevated heart rates…

On today’s podcast, the guys discussed the winter games, Team Canada in the semi-finals, and more. The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about the winter…
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. Mitch Marner’s overtime beauty doesn’t happen if Jordan Binnington…
With all four quarterfinal games wrapped up on Wednesday, the stage is now set for the 2026 Olympic Men’s Hockey semifinals.

It has been a wildly entertaining tournament thus far, with Connor McDavid breaking Olympic point records, Czechia nearly pulling…
The Edmonton Oilers announced that Paul Coffey would return to the coaching staff and oversee the defence on Wednesday. Coffey returns to a role he had held for the previous two seasons, just seven months after it was announced he wouldn’t return. Regardless of how you look at it, it is an odd situation. The…
Team Canada’s 4-3 come-from-behind OT win over Team Czechia was an absolute thriller. Team Canada fans’ heart rates likely hit all-time highs, while Edmonton Oilers fans were well-prepped for the drama, having seen late-game mayhem like this over the past couple of years, but one thing is for sure: that game was a classic and…
