All things hockey, all the time
At the NSCC 2023 in Chicago, the Hockey Hall of Fame had a presence. I thought this was pretty cool. https://twitter.com/itshockeynite/status/1685416442815008768?s=46&t=Z5zGFS7wegvgC8LkKHXuoA This is definitely as close as I’ll ever get to the Rocket Richard trophy. Amazing!
Over the weekend, I made my second trip to Chicago for the 2023 National Sports Card Convention. I got a Gretzky Rookie Card PSA 4, and had a chance to stop by the Upper Deck booth. In other words, I was amongst hardcore memorabilia headquarters and within the balance of the current trading card manufacturer … Continue reading Bedard Mania at the NSCC
This will always remain my favorite reaction video to an NHL draft lottery. A couple Edmonton guys in their basement, loving hockey year round. Dad even comes in and gets in on the act. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfeO2R3WSfg
So you want a full scouting report on Connor Bedard, a guy whom many are calling an 'all-time NHL Draft prospect'. I've got that for you, but before that let's post the draft lottery where I felt like the Columbus Blue Jackets got robbed.

So before I start banging out news posts that attract hits and favorable google rankings I must get all the goodies up here in the archives. This was the greatest video game sports commercial of them all. It really drew me in. https://twitter.com/itshockeynite/status/1684744906068164609?s=46&t=Z5zGFS7wegvgC8LkKHXuoA This is our game, and this is our game. And this is … Continue reading This is Our Game: NHL 2013 Commercial
These past hockey playoffs, I was in Canada (Burlington, ON) when they began. I also spent time in downtown Toronto on the day of a Leafs playoff game working in our Canada office. I have a co-worker who said Liam Fouty was at his son’s house watching the Maple Leafs because he is a huge … Continue reading Falling in love with Canada and Hockey Once Again
https://twitter.com/itshockeynite/status/1684742145616306176?s=46&t=Z5zGFS7wegvgC8LkKHXuoA Some might say that it was this very sound clip that made me fall in love with the game of hockey. Ah, to be young again and playing this game with the kids on the street after we got off the school bus. Checking to see who had the record for saves in a … Continue reading Brass Bonanza on NHL ‘94
When I first discovered the Raw Knuckles Podcast, I was delighted. I love Chris Nilan for a lot of reasons. One, he's a man's man and conservative. He's a recovered addict, and he refused to take the vaccine for the same reasons I did. Tim Stapleton is also a good dude who doesn't blabber his … Continue reading Raw Knuckles Podcast Is Primo
For a long time, I've been waiting for a reason to start an NHL Hockey blog. I have always been enchanted by the sport, but I've never been able to have an everyday stop to write about it. My hope is to capture the passion of the sport and a one-stop shop for all things … Continue reading Getting Started: In The Beginning There Was Only The End
