I get asked a lot of questions about why Trent Cull won’t play the kids in Utica. I’m here to tell you that I don’t think it’s for a lack of trying. The coach can only throw 12 forwards out on the ice in any given game. That’s just the way it is. The issue…

In the CHL, everyone is healthy and making an impact early in their respective seasons. Overseas, we unfortunately have some healthy scratches and some other…
THE INTRO Finishing a six-game road trip with the chance to go 4-2 is a pretty special feeling if you’re the Canucks. The preseason was not kind to Vancouver, either that or they were given amnesia pills before opening night. The Canucks are a dramatically different team as of late and look nothing like the…
