Afternoon Delight: Election Day

• Fanhouse has a profile on Jordan Schroeder of the Minnesota Golden Gophers, who is a likely 1st round NHL Draft pick. Schroeder is quite small, but his skill is undeniable.
• Team Canada is told that it cannot use the now familiar Hockey Canada logo. Kind of a shame, but a simple maple leaf will look good too.
• The Winkler Flyers have reacquired Dayne Belfour, son of former NHL’er Ed Belfour.
• The World of Junior Hockey has commitment news, an update on the World Junior A Challenge and the junior leagues weekly award winners. Chiasson is a very skilled player and will fit in well at Boston University.
• Puck Daddy discusses shootouts.
• The NY Times writes that Barry Melrose is finding his groove as Lightning coach. Better late than never.
• The Slapshot blog looks at the Minnesota and Colorado NCAA teams.
• Greatest Hockey Legends suggests that Betty Ford, and not Sarah Palin, may have been the 1st Lady of American Hockey.
• Paul Kukla offers up some NHL players that the new American president might find helpful when naming a cabinet.
• The NHLPA has filed an unfair labor practices suit against the NHL.
