Zachary Roy scored twice, and the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada downed the Victoriaville Tigres 5-1 on Tuesday in the first Quebec Major Junior Hockey League game for both teams in almost six weeks. The latest plan for keeping the QMJHL season alive is to have seven teams play in a bubble at the Videotron Centre in Quebec

Rick Vaive is finally ready to tell his story — his whole, unfiltered account. The former captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs was never one to hold back, and it makes sense the same approach would apply to his book “Catch 22: My Battles, In Hockey and Life.” “I always said that if I was
In today’s NHL rumor rundown, what kind of deal are the Carolina Hurricanes looking at for Dougie Hamilton? Who will start in goal for the Vancouver Canucks when the season starts? Are the Edmonton Oilers having financial struggles? Finally, what’s the latest on when the season will start and will we see fans in attendance
Ottawa Senators general manager Pierre Dorion has been a busy man this offseason. From the two top-five picks at the 2020 NHL Entry Draft which translated into Tim Stutzle and Jake Sanderson, to his work in free agency, on the trade front, and signing some key restricted free agents, he’s done a fabulous job of
Who knows when a puck will drop for the 2020-21 season, but it’s never too early to start looking at who could be taking the ice on opening night for the Vegas Golden Knights. Between the blockbuster acquisition of Alex Pietrangelo, the departure of Paul Stastny and Nate Schmidt, and the rise of some of
If we’re being honest, it’s a part of innate human nature to occasionally check up on our exes. In most cases, we want them to be doing well, just maybe not too well – or at least not better than us. Those same sensibilities apply to players who have moved on from your favorite team.
3:41 PM ET Brett Peterson has been hired by the Florida Panthers, who believe that he is the first Black assistant general manager in NHL history. “If it means that we’re expanding opportunities for people in hockey, then I’m humbled. But this was a hockey hire,” Panthers general manager Bill Zito told ESPN on Tuesday.
The Florida Panthers on Tuesday hired Brett Peterson as an assistant general manager. The team said Peters is believed to be the first Black assistant GM in the National Hockey League. Peterson’s hiring comes days after the nearby Miami Marlins hired Kim Ng as the first female GM in Major League Baseball. Among its recent

There is a good chance we will see an all-Canadian division in the 2020-21 NHL season since COVID-19 will very likely be a part of our lives throughout the next year. Despite being a success for the 2019-20 playoffs, bubble cities aren’t a realistic full-season alternative, so grouping the Canadian teams together seems like the
In this post about Toronto Maple Leafs News, I want to focus on Maple Leafs’ history. Two events – two different kinds of releases – occurred this week that invite Toronto fans to reconsider the long and storied history of their beloved team.

All 31 NHL teams released their Adidas Reverse Retro jerseys on Monday after teasing them over the weekend. Some teams knocked it out of the park with gorgeous sweaters and a few produced pretty ugly ones. The Philadelphia Flyers fall somewhere in the middle, but on the whole they did quite well. The curved shoulders
Yesterday marked the 18th anniversary of Bob Probert’s retirement from the NHL. Tragically, on July 5 of this wretched year, it is now a decade since the giant of a man suddenly passed. As such, this is my tribute to a near mythical being gone far too soon. Meeting my Hero At age 16, I
Collin Delia, midway through an in-depth discussion about rebound control, paused when he heard his 5-month-old son, Anderson, wailing in the distance. “He’s crying right now,” Delia said, a bright smile spreading across his face. “He must be hungry.” The joy is a welcome change after an emotionally chaotic past year in which Delia’s personal
9:00 AM ET It was the most abnormal postseason in NHL history, with 24 teams competing in two Canadian bubble arenas in front of empty seats. Yet its finale was inherently predictable: The Tampa Bay Lightning, among the wagering favorites before the tournament, raising the Stanley Cup in victory. But never tell Julien BriseBois the
The NHL on Monday displayed a new jersey for each of its 31 teams, looking to create some buzz at a time when there are no games. The league and players are still targeting a Jan. 1 start for the 2021 season, though there’s plenty of uncertainty about when and where fans might be able
For the Tampa Bay Lightning, a cap crunch was an inevitability. Locking down core players to meaningful extensions adds up quickly, and even if everything had progressed as normal throughout the 2019-20 season, they still would have had a lot of work to do in the offseason to re-sign their next wave of young talent.
Looking for a gift for that hard-to-buy-for Toronto Maple Leafs fan? After weeks of teasing, Adidas revealed the Reverse Retro jersey. The branding reads Your Colours. Your Retros. Remixed. Well, it seems there is still truth in advertising. A Toronto fan could empty their closet and take the stack of jerseys to a sewing club
