Welcome back for another edition of The Journey. A lot has happened in the hockey world since my last post. Many leagues have officially closed the door on their respective leagues, resulting in an unfortunate end to their 2019-20 seasons and postseason. This list includes the CHL, meaning there will be no winner etched onto [...]
Hello, I hope you’re doing well and laying low at this time. A special shout out to all the health-care workers working the frontlines of this pandemic, plus anyone else who is working extra hard during this time. The Anaheim Ducks have signed 2019 first-round pick Trevor Zegras to a three-year, entry-level contract. Now that [...]
We started off this idea last week, looking at various stat categories and comparing them to past years, and we are going to continue this week. We don’t have a lot of new information to use, and we don’t know what the future of the NHL season looks like so it seems a good use [...]

Quarantine Update: I’m not going to mince words here, things are getting done around my place. With all these newfound hours in the day without sport or socializing or basically anything, my wife has been finding projects everywhere. It's been a nice distraction. I have also been eating my weight in peanut butter pretzels. So [...]
In this week's Eastern Edge, we'll finish our review of each team’s most valuable fantasy hockey asset. Keep in mind that this is a subjective list from someone who's only qualification to write about hockey, is being a fan of hockey.
