    • The Rundown - Week 11
    It's an all-Alberta edition of The Rundown today as all four Alberta-based teams were in action in Canada West play while another Alberta-based team was taking part in an exhibition game! That exhibition game was against the Saskatchewan Huskies, and I do have information on that one as well. There was a chance for teams to either put some space between themselves and those chasing them or close t...2025

    It's probably not a secret that Team Canada will be a medal favorite in women's hockey when the 2025 FISU World University Games open in Torino, Italy on January 13. The reigning gold medalists from Lake Placid will be looking to defend their title, and it seems that Canada is sending another highly-skilled U SPORTS team to mount that title defence. If U SPORTS could hold an all-star game, the FIS...2024

    • The Rundown - Week 7
    We're nearly two months into the season, and it's fairly clear that certain have playoff aspirations while others may be looking to plan for next season. Seven teams have played their way into the playoff discussion, and that number will be reduced to six by February. The good news is that all nine teams can still earn a playoff spot based on their schedules if they start winning now, so let's fin...2024

    • The Rundown - Week 4
    We're four weeks into the season, and it seems like five teams may already have solid grips on playoff spots. For the four teams who are on the outside looking in right now, there's still time to find their way back into the playoff mix, but things need to change now. Wins and points will matter every week as we get into November next week, so falling further behind this week doesn't help anyone's...2024

    • The Rundown - Week 3
    As Week Three of the Canada West season gets underway, one team still hadn't been defeated, two teams hadn't recorded a regulation loss, and one team still had no points. Depending on this week's results, the Canada West playoff picture may be forming very early as to who may participate and who may not, but there's still a ton of time for teams that are looking to climb the standings. Early wins ...2024

    • Here We Go Again
    This feels like an annual post for me, but we're going to do this again until someone gets it right. I have documented on this blog how the U SPORTS' calculation for the weekly Top Ten is flawed, yet U SPORTS continues to go back to the same calculations despite me documenting how poorly they serve the teams. When trying to determine a national ranking system, there should be some truths that are ...2024

    Normally, you'be come to expect recaps on The Rundown, but it's a different tournament this year because I'm volunteering at it. That doesn't make the games any different, but there has been a change in my perspective in getting to see and hear some of the conversations surrounding the tournament and its participating teams. I normally just watch games through a streaming service - Canada Waste TV...2024

    There's a lot of focus in North America about the PWHL, and it makes sense since those are the games that are most accessible for most North American women's hockey fans. The fact that we often forget that there are other leagues where a pile of former university stars play means we often forget that these women are seeing the world while being paid to play hockey. Frankly, I'm not saying that any...2024

    The image to the left is of the UBC Thunderbirds after winning their third consecutive Canada West title. There's a lot of things that go into winning at the Canada West level, and UBC seemingly has a hold on knowing how to win. Frankly, there's every reason to believe they'll make it a four-peat this year as they have skilled players, some unfinished business at Nationals, and a knack for winning...2024

It should be noted that UBC had an opportunity to pass the 20-point mark on the season this week which shows how well they've been playing, but they've beaten teams they sh...2023
