finally, some good publishing news.

Jack Hughes seems determined to burn through any goodwill he might have left. The Hockey Hall of Fame deciding something is historically significant enough to add to their collection is an honor, and he's acting like a puck that was never his is owed him.

It's time to talk about hockey media in Canada. Actually, it has been time for awhile. My thoughts on comments from Insiders, hockey media approaches, using language correctly, and accountability - or the lack of it. www.cbc.ca/sports/hocke...

For context, the CBSC has received so many complaints about Friedman’s comments that they put out a statement asking people to stop filing complaints.

As Kash Patel actively covers up the murders of Minnesotans, the Minnesota Wild GM invites him into the USA locker room. Awful look.

BREAKING: Three people killed, including the suspect, and three others hospitalized after a shooting at a Rhode Island hockey rink, police say.

The Montreal Canadiens are playing the Minnesota Wild in Minneapolis tonight. The players have been recommended to stay in/eat at the hotel, take the team bus to the arena, and carry passports. Perhaps we shouldn't be hosting the World Cup and the Olympics...

Gary Bettman, minutes after saying he binged all of Heated Rivalry in one night: "we can't raise awareness of homophobia because our players would do something homophobic, thus making the conversation all about raising awareness of homophobia"

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman binged 'Heated Rivalry' in one night! 📺 #HeatedRivalry (🎥: X/Sheng_Peng)

Kim Weiss has been promoted to Assistant Coach of the Colorado Eagles.

I wrote about Heated Rivalry and the Sens signing James Reimer! medium.com/@millvsSPQR/...

New post! "The Revelry of Heated Rivalry: Can It Affect Heteronormative Hockey Culture?" By Niya St. Amant hockeyinsociety.com/2025/12/29/t...

The degree to which ECHL are showing themselves to be anti-organized labour is remarkable. Statement today from the owners of the Canucks’ affiliate now that the PHpA players have gone on strike and games are being cancelled. (K-Wings were meant to play Cincinnati today.)

NEW: as a trans journalist who specializes in writing about trans athletes & transphobia in sports, I had some issues with the framing of the Britta Curl story in The Athletic. Let's talk about it.

New post! @courtneyszto.bsky.social covers the bizarre AI slop rage-bait that has come for the PWHL: hockeyinsociety.com/2025/12/21/f...

Sure looks like TSN/Bell Media is using AI to write summary stories attributed to ‘TSN Staff’ So we’re clear: Logan Cooley is not a previous Art Ross winner.

The inaugural home game for the Seattle Torrent saw 16,014 fans pack Climate Pledge Arena to set a record for the largest attendance at a women’s hockey game in a U.S. arena, but the two-time defending PWHL champion Minnesota Frost played spoiler. sports.mynorthwest.com/seattle-spor...

I’m excited to witness history today as the Minnesota Wild broadcast the first ever NHL game in Ojibwe in celebration of Native American Heritage Day — a great way to expand access and celebrate the game with our indigenous communities. www.kare11.com/article/spor...

Hockey romance, one of BookTok’s fave subgenres, is coming to HBO Max. ‘Heated Rivalry’ comes to the streaming service November 28.

Ottawa was the first PWHL market to truly develop a fan base from scratch, to incredible results, and the city's response is to cut their arena's capacity by around 3,000... The league has already started using relocation buzzwords. It would be awful for it to come to that.

The Capitals fired assistant coach Mitch Love on Sunday following an NHL investigation into his personal conduct. The NHL reportedly suspended Love for the rest of the 2025-26 season. russianmachineneverbreaks.com/2025/10/26/c...

I’m really torn—on the one hand it does seem appropriate to counter the devaluation of sport and sports experience and offer academic credit to this end; but on the other: 1) Nike et al having influence is an appalling 🚩and 2) instrumental approaches to sport already dominate the academy.

The NHL will be doing even more gambling promotion

I need a better explanation from the San Jose Sharks than this. What does “externally submitted” mean? Were they hacked? Disgruntled employee? What does this mean? www.cnn.com/2025/10/19/s...

The San Jose Sharks have issued an apology after a pro-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) message appeared on their jumbotron during Hispanic Heritage Night at SAP Center.

The Golden Knights asked me to leave their practice facility and revoked my credential because I asked one of their players about the Hockey Canada 5. Their sensitivity underscores the dicey nature of the decision VGK and Carolina are facing. My story: www.nytimes.com/athletic/665...

Capitals assistant coach Mitch Love placed on "team-imposed leave" pending results of NHL investigation

"Former Regina junior hockey coach's day parole revoked after Facebook friend request to victim" Bernie Lynch physically, sexually assaulted 17-year-old hockey player in 1988: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The NHL's Dallas Stars bought up all the ice rinks in the Dallas metro area, in several cases got taxpayer money to build the rinks, and now control ice time for youth hockey, jacking up club fees and forcing leagues to play by their rules. Wild story.

If there was any doubt about the link between hockey and the right, we now see Gary Bettman, Wayne Gretzky, and Matthew Tkachuk to be a part of Trump’s Fitness Council, which will play an important role in “keeping men out of women’s sports.” www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...

I will repost links to updates re: the 2018 Hockey Canada trial here. Kate Dubinski is at the courthouse for CBC. All the accused have arrived. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Thinking of all survivors today. 💕 I believe you.

Will Hockey Canada publish their internal report now? Their internal investigation was the main impetus for any of this to become public knowledge. Hockey Canada settled with EM out of court before London police even reopened the criminal investigation. This is so much more than the criminal trial!

Nick Nollenberger on the air with Randy Hahn for the #sjsharks Prospect Scrimmage Just mentioned the Haoxi Wang would like to go by Haoxi, instead of his North American name, Simon. 🙌🏽 You got it, Haoxi 🙌🏽

Peguis First Nation is celebrating as Carter Bear becomes the first Manitoban picked in the first round since Conor Geekie in 2022. Bear goes 13th-overall to the Detroit Red Wings.

The "Draft House" interviews sure are awkward. 🏒📺🎙️ #NHL #NHLDraft

John Buccigross should not be employed

The Hockey Hall of Fame finally used both woman spots this year! Congratulations to Jennifer Botterill and Brianna Decker.

BREAKING: The NHL on Monday indefinitely suspended Florida Panthers executive Doug Cifu from any team and league involvement for “unacceptable and inappropriate” posts on social media.

Very funny to me that the little press release the Ducks give Dreger to tweet out about Quenneville that says they did an "extensive background check" also acknowledges in the next sentence he was "the first candidate Anaheim spoke with." Really turning over every stone

The contrast between the trial coverage and Friedman recently reporting on the Quenneville comeback rumours as "Well, some people are going to like it and some aren't. It's a toss-up really." is just blood-boiling. It's utter malpractice for a journalist.

Past contributor Victoria Silverwood on the legal implications of no criminal charges in Adam Johnson's death: theconversation.com/no-criminal-...

Over a year after a freak collision ended Adam Johnson’s life during an EIHL game, former UNB Red Matt Petgrave has been confirmed to not face charges. The Crown Prosecution Service called it a “shocking and deeply upsetting incident." www.cbc.ca/sports/hocke...

Meanwhile Rangers media awarded Panarin the “Good Guy” award.
