Welcome

 First post to my hockey blog. I prefer to remain anonymous right now, but I am a hockey fan by heart and choice. As a Canadian, I was forced to be educated on hockey. Although, why I love hockey is the passion it has I find is way better than any sport. I can agree, it's not for everybody. But, I feel it's the one sport everybody needs to give a genuine chance. Also, they play more games which I find enjoyable and the season ends at the perfect time which is Canadian summer. 

What got me into hockey personally was playing the video games, EA NHL going as early as 08 -- in my opinion when EA NHL was actually awesome. As a gamer, I thought it was cool to meet the players in the video game so I felt that reality and what they say doesn't exist can exist. My favourite modes were 'Be a GM,' and 'Be A Pro.' I liked be a GM because it taught me how to manage a hockey team at the NHL level. Be a pro because... well... I wanted to be an NHL player. But I never made it because I wasn't good enough and started late.

Hockey is a sport that takes lots of dedication above yourself. You need to make sacrifices, such as your parents may need an extra job to pay for it. It's not just the cost of ice. Gas, to travel, whether that game is just five minutes away, other side of town, or a tournament in another city. 

Today, I decided to start a hockey blog because I can comment on almost anything. If anybody has any questions don't hesitate to ask because that means I can make an FAQA (Frequently Asked Questions Answered) post.

Dakota Joshua traded to Toronto

Where do I begin... maybe that I wrote how he was one of the underrated players in the NHL. Except the thing is it's no longer Vancouver. Now, for all I know maybe Dakota Joshua wanted out, but this return is beyond brutal and unacceptable by the Canucks. With Toronto, I think we'll see Dakota Joshua's true potential as he truly is an underrated player who can do a lot more than your average hockey fan thinks. Vancouver getting a forth for Joshua, this is just like the Silovs trade but maybe worse given they were key players for the Canucks. If I'm trading Dakota Joshua away I'm expecting something as high as a second-round pick and a player with a good contract.  As for Toronto, this is an excellent pick-up for the Leafs and this is going to improve their penalty kill a lot which in my opinion is something that could use work this off-season. Toronto is the clear winner of the trade.

The curious case of Elias Pettersson

I think Elias Pettersson is still a good player who can return to his full form one day and still has potential to be an offensive threat in the NHL. Based on what I've seen he does work hard, but there's parts he needs to learn to improve his game. He was well on track once upon a time, but I think locker room issues soured things for him last season. It may take one or two seasons, but I think he has a similar comeback Marcus Naslund did.  Pettersson had an outstanding season before they brought JT Miller in. In Miller's defense, he was not one for a young core but needed to be on a team he could do a lot more on. But if the Canucks never traded for Miller I think Pettersson would've been the producer every single season. In 2019-20 he finished second in scoring after JT Miller; in the playoffs that year in the bubble, he and JT Miller both tied the lead in team scoring with eighteen points. In 2020-21 he missed most of the season but had twenty-one points in twenty-s...

PWHL Draft First-Round Recap and Predicting the 2026 PWHL Season

 The third ever PWHL Draft had happened recently held at the Hard Rock Casino and Resort in Ottawa, Ontario, which was special considering they introduced two new teams: PWHL Vancouver and PWHL Seattle, both of which held the final picks of the draft.  1. New York Sirens -  Kristýna Kaltounková - F - Colgate University - A consistent point producer from the Czech Repbulic, the Sirens took what is believed to be the best player in this draft. Can be looked to either make plays and has a promising shot bringing what is believed to be a long PWHL career. What  Kaltounková also has in her game is height which is a huge advantage in this sport. I think this pick instantly improves the Sirens and gives Sarah Fillier a line-mate for a long time. 2. Boston Fleet - Haley Winn - D - Clarkson University - The Boston Fleet take an offensive defenseman from Clarkson and defender of the year. But another key highlight of her career is winning various gold medals in junior tourname...
