Rookie Duties: Opening the OHL Season from Sudbury, Ontario

Rookie Duties: Oh Say Can You See…the Canadian Border?

First off, I hope you all had a terrific Fourth of July weekend – if it was half as good as mine was, then I’m sure that you did. Last week I left you off just after a minor letdown with the NHL Entry Draft, but with the CHL Import Draft following closely in its […]
