Kalen Humphries might have grown up with a poster of Daniel Alfredsson on his bedroom wall, but the 13-year-old certainly never thought he’d end up sharing a locker room with the Ottawa Senators legend. But these days, that’s the reality for Humphries and the rest of the Ottawa Sting Bantam AA hockey club. Alfredsson, who wore the
Max Domi vividly remembers the moment that changed his life. And no, it wasn’t when he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.

It took several weeks for Nick Suzuki to get over the disappointment of last year’s world juniors tournament. He finally funneled that frustration into an Ontario Hockey League championship. Being back in Rogers Arena Tuesday night as a member of the Montreal Canadiens stirred mixed emotions for Suzuki. He remembers the excitement of the sold-out
When 2019 began, few would have predicted the St. Louis Blues would be the Stanley Cup champions. Or that Don Cherry would be gone from Coach’s Corner.
