Another year, another season of NHL, AHL and IIHF hockey How will the NHL, AHL and IIHF navigate during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic remains to be seen including when will fans come back?

Longest season in NHL history over. Hopefully better times ahead for the Islanders after their deepest playoff run in 27 years! Post your Islanders comments here.

Not sure when the season will start, where games will be played, how many games will be played, but I do know this team will be fun to watch. Adidas released their "reverse retro" jersey line this week and I'm not a fan of what the Rangers ended up with. I never liked the lady liberty jerseys.

He shares the same name as the baseball player who played for the Washington Senators in the 1920’s and 30’s. I wonder, any relationship? That Joe Judge was close to being a HOF player.

Newsday said that before the last two minutes, the G League will only have one free throw attempt at a time. If the player would have been entitled to two or three attempts, the one free throw is all or nothing.

The United States has 8 regionals. 5 have 6 teams, 1 has 7 teams, and 2 have 8 teams. That's 53. California and Texas get 2 teams and the other 48 states and D.C. get 1. Last year nobody replied. The Regionals are from August 1 through 10. The Mid-Atlantic Regional has 6 teams, including 2 within 35 miles of Yankee Stadium.
