Dave Hunter

A cool story out of Des Moines, where a long time fan (who is blind) now works for the team. Inspiring story. Greatest Hockey Legends has more information on Frank St. Marseilles, the player featured in the Lowetide story I posted yesterday. This is one fascinating story. Hockey needs more of this. A look back at former Oiler Dave Hunter by Hall of Fame Writer Jim Matheson. He's no Tikkanen. Mike Brophy heaps some woe on the Toronto Maple Leafs. Rory Boylen of The Hockey News suggests introducing body checking at an earlier age. I agree with Boylen to an extent, but worry about scaring some kids out of the game. Part I of Justin Bourne's "A Hockey Player's Life" over at Max Hockey. Lots of great stuff over at Max Hockey. Finally, another installment of In the Crease from the oh so appealing Sports Report Girl. Your "in her crease" jokes in the comments.
