A bit misleading if only because the NHL was almost exclusively Canadian for the first 50 years of its existence. I think Canadian content is closer to 60% these days.

It reminds of the scene in Miracle where Mark Johnson (a MN NHL player who did have some scoring touch) who during practice scored on a beautiful end to end rush only to get ripped by Herb Brooks.

In terms of the 1st question, I think you need a bit of both. For a forward, you do need to have time with the puck and build your confidence in terms your ability to shoot, pass, forecheck, backcheck, etc.. That said, you do need to eventually be pushed in ways that you won't being on a weak team w...

I would say the top 8 in super elite would easily handle the Yguns and Wheat kings....the bottom 4 in super elite would still defeat them but they would be slightly more competitive games.

The Jr. Wheatkings and Jr. Steelers would have lost most games by 10 goals if they had gone into the super elite level. They had played the lightning once this year and the game wasn't close.

The Iceplex is an absolute godsend, sparing you from having to play in some pretty awful arenas in town. Hopefully, they build another at the other end of town so they can TNT many of the city-owned rinks. 2000 Elite side was very deep with not much to choose from the top 8. Have to hand it to the M...

You can even look online at the modified game sheet for goals and assists....oh, and remember it's now sponsored by River City Sports.

The 2000s are pretty deep so the Machine may have difficulty getting the final. Choosing the BC Bears is a puzzling to me.

I see a Van Selects versus AB Brick team final
