HONORING A TRIO OF LEGENDS

VIVE L’IIHF • Global Hockey Forum 2025

INNOVATION INSPIRATION • If the NHL is looking to spice up its gameplay, it needs to look no further than some rules recently introduced by other circuits

BEHIND THE MASK

JERSEY HOUND

MONEY PUCK-O-METER • Gone are the days of cheap goalies. Now, top-tier masked men come at a premium, and you can’t win without sinking money into the crease. Here are the Stanley Cup-winning keepers with the highest price tags in the salary-cap era

IN THE CARDS

THE COUNTDOWN • We know the importance of the masked men in the blue paint, but which NHL teams have the best tandems?

DEEP DRAFT • A 50-year-old hockey pool has NHL connections in its history, and its members are already looking forward to a third generation of players

THE PLAYERS’ ADVOCATE • As former executive director of the NHLPA, Goodenow was the architect behind the many advancements in player salaries and benefits for more than a decade

CUPS AND CAMARADERIE • Bernie Parent will be remembered as one of the game’s great goalies and the author of two Stanley Cups. But those close to him cherished his affable attitude and friendship

MASKED MEN ON THE MOVE • Going back to the early days of the NHL, goalies would come out of their cages to play the puck. As the game has evolved, that ability has only become more important. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy

GETTING THE MESSAGE • Group chats have become a way to increase camaraderie and maintain chemistry for teams across the NHL – so long as no one falls victim to the dreaded ‘green bubble’ treatment

WORK FROM HOME • The 2024-25 season certainly did not go as planned for the Vancouver Canucks. But off-season addition Evander Kane is hoping to use his experience to help guide his hometown team back to the post-season

SHIPSHAPE TO SHEPHERD • Now that Charlie McAvoy has recovered from the injury that cost him the back half of 2024-25, he’s eager to be part of the group leading the Bruins into their new era
