The Ottawa Senators have announced that they will be sponsoring PGA Tour member Brad Fritsch in 2013. Fritsch will sport Ottawa's logo on both his shirt and on his golf bag while receiving "financial support" in return. The news, as seen on the team's official site, is humorous when you consider that Fritsch might have […]

Derek Roy – Irony is your new middle name. As the NHL lockout trudges forward both the players and owners continue to battle for the upper hand in the area of public relations. Players cry that the NHL isn't being fair while the NHL declares the players aren't being realistic. We've seen dozens and dozens […]

The rumors are true. The New York Islanders are moving to Brooklyn in 2015. The move, one that has been speculated for quite some time now, was confirmed by the New York Post (Source) and various members of the NHL media (

Jaromir Jagr is not your typical hockey player. While most players are primarily focused on what takes place on the ice, Jagr is also deeply involved in the business side of the game as the owner of HC Kladno, a team in the Czech Extraliga. Based on this business background, Jagr has a different opinion on […]

Alex Ovechkin is known for delivering some pretty big hits in the NHL. However, few rival the crushing blow his head delivered on an unsuspecting piece of KHL glass this weekend. http://youtube.com/watch?v=BtazdXh03aU After delivering a rather innocent check, Ovechkin's momentum carried him backward into the boards. The end result? Ovechkin's head – 1, pane of […]

Please, someone end the lockout simply so that we don't have to ponder Roberto Luongo's future any further. Luongo's time is all but officially over in Vancouver. It has been since the 2011-12 season when Cory Schneider climbed past the weathered veteran, making Luongo one incredibly expensive benchwarmer. Even as the lockout persists, rumors are still […]

It seems silly to talk about expansion in the NHL considering the league is enjoying its second stoppage in nine years. It seems foolish to even hint at the topic considering the recent issues that have arisen in locations like Atlanta and the continually discussed situation in Phoenix. Reports have indicated that numerous franchises are […]

Ilya Bryzgalov – you're our hero. Whether you're giving inspirational speeches about life and the universe or causing an uproar by claiming Russian players will stay in the KHL even after the lockout is over, you're always giving us something to write about. This time Bryzgalov teaches a valuable lesson – ice is slippery. Very […]

We've talked a lot about the NHL lockout lately. We've covered various sides of the topic, including the face behind it – Gary Bettman – as well as the fans suffering through it. One area we haven't covered is the veterans near the end of their careers. This group of players will arguably be hurt […]

It's time to face the cold reality that the NHL lockout could potentially claim the entire 2012-13 season. Obviously, no one wants that to happen but it's time to start analyzing what will happen if a deal isn't reached in time to salvage the season. What happens to the 2013 NHL Draft if there isn't […]

Hockey returned to ESPN when the network aired the KHL match between Dynamo Moscow and HC Lev Praha on Tuesday afternoon. The match was not only historic in the fact it was the first time Russian hockey appeared on the ESPN family of networks, but also because it brought Steve Levy back to hockey play-by-play […]

Gary Bettman might be the most hated man in all of sports. As the league continues its third lockout under Bettman's rule, fans and players alike have voiced their displeasure in how Bettman decides to run the league. His tactic of shutting the doors on the league is certainly a controversial one, but is it […]
