Rookie Duties: He’s on Our Radar
Over the past few weeks I know I’ve mentioned the fact that my goal is to make this column a truly interactive experience for all of you readers. I encouraged more questions and comments to be asked and made, and I’ve tried to keep my Twitter and Facebook accounts current as far as my day […]
As I mentioned last week, this entry marks the 26th week of “Rookie Duties” and to celebrate Darren not pulling the plug on my operation thus far, I wanted to provide you with a little “Best of” edition. I’m hoping that doing so will provide a little perspective on how far things have come in […]
The NHL trading deadline has passed, and this year was the busiest in history. Prior to the 3PM deadline on March 3, 30 trades took place. With these trades, the rights to 53 players and 25 draft picks changed hands. Compared to Major League Baseball, the NFL, and the NBA, the NHL typically has an […]
Well despite the fact that this past week was every bit as hectic as the previous one, things certainly seemed to be heading in the right direction.

Without a doubt, I can say that the past seven days fall into the former. I haven’t been able to find much time […]
Over the last five or six months I’ve been quietly developing a Hockey Division for Dynasty. In that short amount of time, I have been able to help advise some very good hockey players; built relationships with minor, junior, major junior, college, and pro coaches; and seen some quality hockey. I was also given the […]
If you recall last week’s edition of this column, I started off by explaining how much I love the fact that everyday with my job is truly different. The one challenge that comes along with that, though, is that you always have to be flexible. When I put together my business plan for our hockey […]
