Scouts?

More on Joe.

"I enjoyed my year with helping my son's hockey team, and now I can continue to do that," Nieuwendyk told ESPN.com this week after being named pro scout/adviser to Carolina Hurricanes GM Ron Francis.

So there's that.  I am assuming it's this little guy.

Daren Eliot is now working with Little Caesars as director of minor hockey operations. Pizza Pizza

Little Caesars has great AAA youth teams, I've run into that buzzsaw a few times at the Chicago Bauer tournament with my kids.  Sounds like a fun job.  He's keeping his night job as hockey analyst on Fox Sports Detroit for Red Wings games.  Two fun jobs.

It's a sad statement about the NHL that learning how to fight will help Ferlin's chances of making the team.

Did you catch the ticket prices at the end of the story? $124 is a lot for an NHL preseason game, Canadian or US dollars.

Sasha Pokulok files suit against the NHL.

An article from the Naples Daily News (9/17/14, not available for free on-line) on the start of the Everblades training camp indicates that last season's late addition Andy Iles is not likely to stick with the team. The Everblades expect to get at least one goalie each from the Carolina Hurricanes and Tampa Bay Lightning, thus leaving Andy as the odd man out.

Gosh, do you think the SUCKS students could afford to take that much time from their studies. Wouldn't that threaten their grades?
