NHL GMs were the stars showing sides of themselves not typically seen in the salary cap era in the lead up to the NHL trade deadline day.

With the introduction of “enhanced stats,” co-opted by NHL.com last week, the world of hockey should expect some radical transformations.

When the Toronto Maple Leafs acquired forward Olli Jokinen, they may have been envisioning a future asset, not an experienced centre.

The Leafs can’t win for losing and when the time comes for change, it appears the team’s highest performing players will be the ones shown the door.

With the L.A. Kings and N.Y. Rangers meeting for the Stanley Cup, the former look better on paper while the latter perhaps belong on the silver screen.

The Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival, the largest annual documentary festival in North America, wrapped up in Toronto on May 4 having shown 197 films. Here, we review two of our favourites screened during the 10-day festival: “Focus on Infinity” and “The Condemned.”

The Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens have met in the playoffs more than any other combination of teams in any major sport in North America.

If baseball’s catchers were school-age students, they would be seated at the front of the class.

Canada is perfectly capable of winning the Olympic men’s hockey tournament in Sochi. But perhaps more importantly, it is in losing where it needs to improve.

“A Great Game” is certainly full of enlightening, if not minute, details about the infancy of hockey written by Canada’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
