Cards On Ice

You may or may not be aware of a book coming out this fall.  “The Ovechkin Project:  A Behind the Scenes Look at the Most Dangerous Player on the Ice””, wirtten by Damien Cox and Gare Joyce is an unauthorized biography of Alexander Ovechkin.
The Caps and Ted Leonsis are not thrilled with the book, especially [...]

Pats fans won’t have to change their cheers too much this season – in all likelihood, the best player on their team will still be named “Jordan”.  And he’ll still be undersized.  Jordan Weal is likely to shoulder the title of top offensive threat that Jordan Eberle held previously.  Weal was drafted by the Los [...]

This is kind of a strange one.  It appears to be a hastily shot video of #1 overall draft pick Taylor Hall busting a pack of OPC Premier.  Once he gets it open (neat trick to immediately go for the battery cover as a cutting device), its a pretty decent pack.  I mean, he pulled [...]

Carter Ashton, a first round pick of the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2009, joined the Regina Pats partway through the 2008-09 WHL season, after being traded from the Lethbridge Hurricanes.  He is primed for a big season in the WHL, provided he doesn’t sneak himself a job at Lightning training camp in a few days.  [...]

This news is a few weeks old, as the Regina Pats officially named Garrett Mitchell their captain for the 2010-11 season well before training camp.  Around Regina, this was only a slightly worse kept secret than the fact that Darian Durant will likely start the Labour Day Classic.  Mitchell has been a blood and guts [...]

Last night, I found myself with a few free hours, so I went ahead and checked out a few of the scrimmages at the Regina Pats traning camp.  This year, the Pats are holding their camp at the new Co-Operators Center in the city.  Everything is right close to the Brandt Center, its easy to [...]

I linked to Dr. Price’s blog yesterday in general.  Today, I’d like to point you at a specific post.
Basically, Panini has been soliciting autograph contracts from prospects and young players and including a clause that would not allow these players to sign for another company, unless they are NHLPA licensed.
Pretty much a direct shot at [...]
