9:26 AM ET Walk into any NHL locker room today and you’ll hear a cacophony of languages and accents from around the world. Rewind 50 years ago and the acoustics were much different.

With the retro New York Rangers liberty jerseys making a comeback this season and the captaincy role being filled at some point, a revisitation to one of the pinnacles of Ranger history is in order — the day Mark Messier became a Blueshirt. On Oct. 4, 1991, the narrative of the historical organization was irrevocably
VANCOUVER – Until he walked on water over four brilliant September days in the playoffs, Thatcher Demko’s previous chance to prove how good he could be for the Vancouver Canucks came last February when starting goalie Jacob Markstrom injured his knee the first time. In the second game of his chance of a lifetime, Demko
The Calgary Flames have seen a nice crop of prospects make the jump from the AHL to the NHL in the last couple of seasons.

The Vancouver Canucks finally have some prospects playing in North America as the NCAA and United States Hockey League (USHL) have both started their 2020-21 seasons. Jacob Truscott was front and center with the Michigan Wolverines this past week and Jackson Kunz is showing some intriguing potential early on with the Greenbay Gamblers as well.
Although NHL scouts work extensively year-round to find the top talent in each draft, there is no guarantee that any player will be successful.
