Gostisbehere was born on April 20, 1993 in Margate Florida. Growing up in Florida, hockey wasn’t the biggest sport. With the weather being fair year round, it wasn’t very appealing to be inside a cold ice rink for most. But Shayne had always had this passion for hockey. At a young age, he showed interest in the sport. His parents showed him baseball, football, soccer, but they never really tried to push him to hockey. But he always told his mom and dad that he was going to be just like Jaromir…

His dedication to his sport makes him one of the best Canadian hockey players to date. Outside the game and all the fame, he is one of…

The most important thing in my life is ice hockey. Ice hockey is my life. Each week I spend six hours on the ice, along with another nine hours at the rink, or conditioning. I have played ice hockey since I was four, and have been ice skating since I was three. Not only have the people that I grew up playing with become lifelong friends, but the memories I have gained will be lifelong. One of my best memories came when I was a sophomore. I played on a Junior Varsity team, and I was…

round pick of the St. Louis Blues. Dunn is a beautiful skater that has strong puck moving abilities, but his it’s his underrated defensive abilities that will need to be on display if the IceDogs hope to knock off the Otters. While there is plenty of hockey to be played until December, these two might be teammates for Canada at the upcoming World Junior Championships held through the holiday season in Finland. Erie counters with Dylan Strome, who recently was assigned back to…

I am a big hockey player/fan. I am going to be entering my first midget minor team which is the lower team that there is for players 16 and under. I am thinking of going to play in the NAHL which means The North American Hockey League which is junior hockey league which is a way to get into the college/NHL (National Hockey League) level. I went to a camp they said I do have what it takes to play in the NAHL for their team. This is a big thing for me considering that I could finish high school in…

ever been to a game of the greatest sport in the world? I recently went to a hockey game, and had a splendid time. Hockey is a game play on ice, with hockey sticks. The goalie protects the goals from the opposing team. Each team may have six players on the ice at a time, including the goalie, and there are two team play against each other. Hockey is a very fast pace sport, and one of my personal favorites. At this hockey game I saw amazing feats, hear a plethora of noises and felt an assortment…

It is a very interesting picture, because it shows that when a photographer is in the right place at the right time, great pictures can occur. The facial…

Prud'homme had been hired by the NY Rangers to start a competitive Junior B league in Montreal. When Gilbert was signed, Gilbert told Yvon Prud’homme to sign Jean Ratelle. Yvon Prud’homme signed Ratelle without even seeing him play. Rod Gilbert was also a player for his country, Canada. He played against the Soviet Union in the Summit Series in 1972. Gilbert helped Team Canada receive a win in one of the greatest hockey series in my opinion. Gilbert set or equaled 20 team scoring records and…

Prospect Impressions: Eichel in OT, pair of firsts from Hyman and Bigras, Vasilevskiy stops 2-on-0, more highlights With the game on the line, Jack Eichel was cool, calm, and collected with just seconds left on the clock. Likewise, David Pastrnak wasn't even looking at the net when he sniped Cam Ward's water bottle. This time of year provides young players an opportunity in the NHL, and Chris Bigras and Zach Hyman took advantage of it to score their first NHL goals. Plenty of other…
