Brett Hull believes the NHL should retire names, not numbers. Do you agree? From @WindowWorldSTL Studio

In the category of “if he wants it……give @chrispronger the reigns of the @MapleLeafs If this is a “charting of a new course” Then truly start new. He’s a smart hockey mind, won’t care whose feelings get hurt and understands winning and the path to achieve it. Anything else?

Thoughts on Team Canada at World Juniors: There's been a lot of discourse today about Canada's performance after bowing out to Czechia again. I've read a lot about roster construction, team toughness, how players were used during the tournament, and other things related to the team's inability to get the job done. These things may have been an issue, but reality is the problem runs way deeper. Here is the biggest thing that people aren't talking about: Canada has WAY fewer youth boys playing hockey than it did a decade ago. Looking at Hockey Canada registration and membership data, it's mind-boggling to see the numbers. And the numbers in the biggest provinces (Ontario and Quebec) are especially egregious. So why is this happening? Hockey is Canada's sport. It shouldn't be like this. It's what we hear every day from families all over North America: Costs are too high. It's professionalized at too young of an age. The stress of the youth hockey experience is too much for kids and families. Community programs have been replaced by for-profit entities leading to higher costs and more pressure. Development has been replaced by super teams and rogue/outlaw leagues outside of Hockey Canada even before kids are 8 years old. At the older ages, hockey academies have become what families believe is the only way their kids will make it - shelling out INSANE amounts of money to send their kids to do so. Ontario just got rid of residency rules which will only lead to less accountability and more club-hopping than there already was in the nation's craziest and biggest youth hockey market. The reason why Canada was the hockey superpower for so long is because it was part of the fabric of the country. There was such a pride and passion for the game and what the game meant to the flag. There was such a sense of playing the game for something bigger than yourself. Now rather than playing for the love of the game, hockey in Canada is like a job for many of these kids in the environment they're being put in. It's less about pride and passion and more about the path to making it. When in all honesty, it's the pride and passion for the game that is the biggest consistency in the kids that do end up making it. If Canada wants to restore its hockey dominance, it better take a long look in the mirror at the grassroots and what is going on in youth hockey. If you have tens of thousands of fewer boys playing the game, you should probably look at that first. The bigger your pool of athletes, the more elite athletes you can develop. "As many as possible, for as long as possible, in the best environment possible". That has to be the guiding principle. There's a lot of great people in Canada doing incredible things for the game, but the system itself is fundamentally broken. If Hockey Canada is serious about getting back to the top, it has to start at the bottom.

Brad Marchand in 2018: “I was never the best kid on my team — anyone will tell you that. My buddies were better players. As we got older, they were getting all the attention from the junior teams. I’ll never forget, when we were 12 years old our coach gave this speech in the locker room before a game, and he said, ‘There’s thousands of kids like you in Canada. There’s thousands more all over the world. You know what the statistics say? The statistics say that only 0.01% of you will make it to the NHL.’ I just always remembered that stat, and I would think to myself, ‘Man, if I’m not even the best kid on my pee-wee team … there’s no chance. How could I ever get noticed?’ That same pee-wee season, something else happened that took my mindset a step further. We were playing against our rivals, Cole Harbor, in some important game, and they had this monster forward on their team who always killed us. During the game, the kid took a run at my brother, and he smoked him. For as much as we’d mess with one another at home, if you ever hurt my brother, it was like a red light went off inside me. I’d fight you. So we went out, and every time the kid touched the puck, one of us took a run. He got so pissed off that he took a slashing penalty right at the end of his shift, and we got a power play. We ended up scoring the game-winning goal with him in the box, and I had this realization like, ‘OK … if I have a 0.01% chance, this might be one way of getting people to notice me.’ I have done things that have stepped over that line, and I’ve paid the price for it.... There’s a lot of people out there in the hockey world who love to say, ‘Winning is everything. It’s the only thing.’ Do they really mean it? How far are they willing to go? Maybe it was my size, or just the way I was born, but I’ve always felt like you have to be willing to do anything — literally anything — in order to win. Even if that means being hated. Even if it means carrying around some baggage. If I played the game any other way, you absolutely would not know my name. You wouldn’t care enough to hate me, because I wouldn’t be in the NHL.” playerstribu.ne/Marchand

@Terry_Doyle Geez. Wrong team, wrong points. Lol

Hey @tulls24 - I have some news for you 😃.

@Terry_Doyle Watched a fair bit of it Terry and you certainly did a great job. Congratulations to your team

I've had a bit of time to reflect, and sleep, following the 2025 #OHLDraft and am so proud of the show our team pulled off Friday and Saturday. We took an annual ritual and moved it over an hour down the road. 🧵

@Laughlin18 @CourtneyL_Caps Craig , I wish you the best. I had the same surgery 11 years ago. Will be better than ever after recovery. Best wishes!

Hey Caps fans - just a quick update. My open heart surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning and I am confident and ready for the challenge. From me and my entire family, thank you all for your continued love, support, and prayers #LockerStrong❤️

@petedalliday Congrats Pete!

Super excited to get going and thankful for this opportunity !

@CraigJButton @OHLHockey @OHLSteelheads @NHL @DIFHockeyse Had no doubt about this possibility a year ago. Not many forwards are this kind of full package as you well know! Great family, great character and will be an NHL captain as well.

Woah, 30 years! What a great arena and fan base!

@SyracuseCrunch Great memories!

September 30, 1994 Professional hockey returned to Syracuse 30 years ago today. 👊

@Devin_Heroux @MeaghanDRoy You are Olympic athletes representing our country proudly. A very incredible feat. People are only proud of you.

This is gut wrenching to watch. The rawest interview imaginable. Commendable to share this much in this difficult moment. 🇨🇦 Jill Moffatt and Jenny Casson finished 5th in their lightweight double sculls semi.

@adamyahn @OHFHockey Congratulations!

I am excited and grateful for this opportunity with @OHFHockey. Looking forward to working with all of the Directors to grow the sport and build an inclusive and welcoming game for all participants.

@mccovey Congrats!! What an accomplishment!

So very proud of my youngest son Brett, a newly crowned Stanley Cup Champion !! So many many great people and players don’t get to celebrate that Holy Grail but he now has that in his resume. Truly so proud. Another Stanley Cup for PEI, a small province doing big things !

@Jefftwo Congratulations Jeff! What an accomplishment!

@Terry_Doyle Not sure what Hunter was arguing Terry. That was a major and by OHL standards multiple game suspension.

Knights forward Landon Sim handed 5-minute major and game misconduct for elbowing Saginaw's Zayne Parekh.
