Kilrea tribute checks all the boxes

It was almost about the huge amount of hockey folks I didn’t get to talk with . . . than the huge amount I did. Sunday night at Lansdowne was quite a gathering. If you missed the notice, it was all in honour of former Ottawa 67’s coach and general

Junior Hockey Delivers the Goods

It’s an undeniably great scene. Early in Season 2 of the generally exceptional Disney+ drama The Bear, pain-in-the-ass semi-main character Richie Jerimovich sits in the basement of the tumbling down, soon to be demolished and renovated restaurant he and ‘cousin’ Carmy Berzatto run, lamenting the state of his life. Richie

The Extraordinary Connor McDavid . . . (and other noteworthy observations)

Back in college and - eventually - university days we had what we called The Gretzky Rule. It was pretty simple: Any playoff hockey pool worth its salt would eliminate any of the participants from having the ability to select Wayne Gretzky. The thinking was equally simple: The gap between

We know what the Senators are, and that’s a young, assertive team with good pace; a team with questionable goaltending,

The best of the best in the OHL

Above: Brian Kilrea was the coach of the Ottawa 67's for 33 seasons.  So, I’m pounding away on the treadmill at the gym inside the Kanata rec. complex staring at the wall Sunday afternoon. Due to COVID, all the elevated TV’s are turned off (because, apparently, COVID and TV’s just don’t

Semi-centennial Seats: The Story of Marilyn and Mavis

Photos and video by Amanda and Brittany van Frankfoort In the first row of Section 15 at TD Place Arena sit best friends Marilyn Campbell, 77, and Mavis Morgan, 85, Ottawa 67’s season ticket holders of 50-years. Together they have seen more than 100,000 minutes of Ottawa 67’s regulation hockey
