Storm Warning: Guelph Looking to Do Damage in the Playoffs
March 9th, 2018 Following a few disappointing seasons, the Guelph Storm have turned this season into a success with their recent playoff berth. The past few years have been rough, missing the playoffs and sitting near the bottom of the standings. They've now proven that all hasn’t been wasted over the past couple years during the team's rebuild....
Flyers Top 4 Prospects 2018
March 7th, 2018 I will begin this article by saying that trying to narrow one of the best prospect systems in hockey down to the top four is no easy task.

The reasoning was that the Flyers have been at the top of the league and at the bottom this season so they weren’t in a position to buy but still not in...
Oskar Lindblom the Next Peter Forsberg?
February 27th, 2018 Being born in Sweden, it is every future player's dream to be the next Peter Forsberg, Mats Sundin, Henrik Lundqvist or Nicklas Lidstrom. But living up to those names is difficult. We're talking about three Hall of Famers and a prospective Hall of Famer. Therefore, when we see a player come along that exhibits the greatness or even shows...
