The NHL equivalent of Christmas — the trade deadline — is almost here. In less than a week, the landscape of the league will look completely different. Contenders will gear up to address their weaknesses and push for the Stanley Cup. Rebuilding teams have the chance to haul in loads of picks and prospects that will

The history of hockey has been dominated by great lines. Detroit’s Production Line in the 1950s of Mr. Hockey Gordie Howe, Sid Abel and Ted Linsday.

The move very likely represents the end of Jagr’s storied 24-year NHL career. Jagr, who will turn 46 in February, saw a decrease in production this

In 2002, then-New York Jets head coach Herm Edwards uttered one of the most recognizable press conference quotes of all time, reminding the world that, yes, “You play to win the game.” At least in theory. On Friday night in Columbus, Ohio, two of the NHL’s four best teams met in a game that lived up

It’s that time of year again. The season is ending for most college teams and their fans are wondering if some of their players will stay in college or take their talents to the professional level. But I’m not talking about college basketball players. I’m talking about college hockey players. Free agent college hockey players,
