Cue The Hallelujah Chorus
by The First Line
posted December 20, 2010 at 2:00pm
Somebody finally beat Montreal! Not that I don’t like Montreal, but having an unbeaten team is bad for a young league. Angela Ruggiero scored the game winner at 16:50 in the third. This after a 10-2 shellacking on Saturday, and Montreal was really...more

by The First Line
posted December 18, 2010 at 6:16pm
At least in the Ontario Minor Hockey Association, as denounced by my favorite hockey writer Adam Proteau. That’s a midget-level league for those of us (everyone) who have trouble following the intricacies of the Canadian youth hockey system. Also,...more

by The First Line
posted December 18, 2010 at 3:26pm
The writers of Chicks Who Give A Puck, however, balance things a little differently. Their cadre of writers focuses mainly on the NHL, with some forays into men’s college hockey. Recently, however, they’ve started a Women’s Hockey Wednesday whic...more

It’s not often that I’m made to feel old,* but HockeyChick has accomplished the feat. She writes “IMO a player who leaves an NHL team bitterly shouldn’t be enshrined. I’m too young to remember Bure era so maybe in his case he deserves it.”...more

Well, I’ll Be Damned
by The First Line
posted December 12, 2010 at 8:21pm
St. Lawrence 6, Mercyhurst 2 in game one of the set. The Saints scored five and chased a goalie before the Lakers even got on the board. Then Mercyhurst got its act back together to crush them yesterday, but this was a huge split for St. Lawrence.

by The First Line
posted December 7, 2010 at 6:44pm
Not content with having a philanthropist on their hands in SJS, Toronto decided it must also have another goalie who is dedicated to bettering the world. Kendra Fisher is, in her words, “on a mission to destigmatize mental health.” This is a tough...more

by The First Line
posted December 3, 2010 at 9:27pm
UMD won’t coast along against the WCHA’s winless team, that’s for sure. They’ll play their usual game, and when you’ve lost thirteen straight that’s an unpleasant prospect.
A more competitive series, one which could serious repercussions fo...more

by The First Line
posted December 3, 2010 at 7:48pm
For the love of God. This is what the other teams in Canada’s intermediate AA league are asking after Mississauga has started the season 20-0. The Chiefs have produced the PWHL’s top three scorers, and six of its top ten. Jenna Dingeldein has no...more

Who *Does* This?
by The First Line
posted December 2, 2010 at 12:01pm
Who would break into someone’s car right after her husband’s funeral and steal items destined for a charity auction? When even the police go, ‘wow, what a scumbag,’ that says something. Fortunately, the Canadiens have offered to help out in ra...more

Lessons from a hall of fame hockey reporter
by Byline to Finish Line
posted December 1, 2010 at 11:10pm
It had been a long day and the only thing on my mind was curling up in my hotel bed, watching a Law & Order SVU marathon and trying to sleep as best as I could before my 4 a.m. wake-up call.
My position as president of the Association for Women in Sports...more

Pat Burns
There have been stupid criminals in the past — people who do things that mean they’ll instantly get caught, or that their stolen items are essentially worthless because of their notoriety. You steal the Mona Lisa? Good luck finding a buy...more

You’ve got to hand it to the CWHL. It’s pretty hard to run a sports league with almost no operating budget. Some of the teams have begun to develop their online presence using social media. A number of the teams have Twitter feeds of varying act...more

College Profiles: Mercyhurst
by The First Line
posted November 27, 2010 at 6:50pm
Mercyhurst is another one of those schools that is well-known in the hockey world, but lesser known outside of it. Hosting the women’s Frozen Four this year may help bring it additional attention. Just a little more pressure on an elite program that...more
