    If you follow this blog, you know that I'm critical of Canada West and its nine member schools that participate in hockey when it comes to them being relevant in the hockey world. Let's be honest - they're not. No one talks about scouting Canada West for players they can sign, and it seems pretty obvious that only the best of the best are playing hockey at the professional level once their U SPORT...2025

    • Stellar Recruits - 2025 Edition
    The image to the left is something called a "stellar vampire" where the larger star is absorbing energy from the smaller star, shrinking it in size as it is consumed. No one in our galaxy has to worry about something like this, but you can see how radiant that growing star is compared to everything around it. That's a good metaphor for me to us as we take a look at some stellar players who will be...2025

    I want to be clear that the image to the left isn't my desk. In fact, if my desk were to ever get to that point with things piled on top of one another where it can only be descibed as "organized chaos", I'd probably just set the thing on fire and let it burn to ash. I'm not an OCD guy by any means, but that mess drives me nuts and it's something of which I'd be ashamed. Thankfully, my desk is mor...2025

    Congratulations to Vancouver who officially became the seventh city where a PWHL franchise will operate. Vancouver seems like a safe bet for the PWHL when it comes to expansion, and it allows them to potentially establish a more national identity if they honestly had a smart, well-structred expansion plan. But that's where this expansion celebration ends because it seems clear that the PWHL is exp...2025

    I had no intention of adding another edition of The Rundown today, but there are a few people who once called U SPORTS home as they walked their respective hockey paths. The Women's World Championship is happening in Czechia right now, but there's another version of the tournament running in Great Britain as the Division 1, Group B World Championship is also being played while the Division 1, Grou...2025

    The Canada West 2024-25 season came down to two teams that were seeking a championship before heading east to Ontario for the National Championship. UBC and Alberta were the top-two teams in the conference this season, and they met in Vancouver to determine which program would be crowned as champion, which school would get a new wall decoration, and which program would be ranked in the top-half of...2025

    With the playoffs approaching, there were a number of teams that simply needed as many points as possible each and every weekend moving forward. Whether it be to keep slim playoff hopes alive or to lock down a playoff seeding, gathering points in any manner should be the focus until the end of the week. There were opportunities for points this weekend for those wanting and needing them, and a hand...2025

    The schedule was all over the map this week as there were games on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, so things were a little more spread out than the eight games we normally see over two days. Hockey Day in Canada saw two Alberta-based teams playing in Canmore, Alberta. The BC-based teams participated in UBC's Winter Classic. The other four teams playing were using Pride Tape and celebrating the LGB...2025

    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

    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

    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

The Saskatoon native played one game with the Abbotsford Canucks and was an EBUG with the Vancouver Canucks before attending a number of ECHL camps over the last few years, but nothing seemed to stick for the former UBC Thunderbirds netminder.
