A young Kim St-Pierre saw magic in that plain, brown goaltending equipment. But she lost the first game she put it on. Parents Louise and Andre encouraged her to continue, even though there were no girls’ teams in Chateauguay, Que., in the 1980s. The first female goaltender — and eighth woman — to earn induction
In today’s NHL rumor rundown, as the Buffalo Sabres announced the firing of GM Jason Botterill and then the hiring of Kevyn Adams as his replacement, the question being asked is, ‘Why hire a new GM so quickly?’ The Vegas Golden Knights have extended Ryan Reaves but why did he take such a big pay
The New York Rangers are getting set to face off against the Carolina Hurricanes in a best-of-five series starting around July 30. The Rangers have the means for success, including Artemi Panarin and Mika Zibanejad wreaking havoc on the Hurricanes’ defense.
