The goal of bringing back The Hockey Program was to occasionally just write a little here and there on hockey, and yes, food. Musings are fun. A couple of times a week we will likely post a simple several hundred word spiel on something that is of interest. First off, I would personally like to […]

Hello everyone! We have been gone from here awhile. The pandemic kind of altered a lot of plans along the way. One of them was bringing back this site to some sort of operational status. Now, laughably, the first thing we had to was renew the site domain registration. That sounds like something silly but […]

From time to time, we will display some of the creations I either make or eat. This should be a good bit of fun. Today’s spotlight is Chris’s homemade macaroni and cheese. One never knows what I may come up with next.

Honestly, we may not know when the NHL will come back or IF it comes back this season. The NHL has asked the 31 teams to keep dates available for games until late August. It seems hard to believe a couple of weeks have passed since the 2019-20 season went on hiatus. No one can […]

At long last, it is back…the ELIMINATOR. We take a look at how many points should be the projection to make the playoffs in each conference. Then, we adjust accordingly as the second season draws closer. This is quite simple. It is not just for hockey fans but the sports bettors too. This is because […]

It is fun to look back into the fantasy hockey and sports betting realm sometimes. The best part is when players one has an eye on blossom into big-time professionals. Filip Forsberg from the Nashville Predators is one of those forwards. When he was traded from the Washington Capitals for Martin Erat, it was only a matter of […]

It had to happen sometime. Yes, the Injury Ninja has indeed found another place to write and pontificate about injuries. While there has been consulting, soon there will be writing on The Fantasy Doctors. It is a long sought after opportunity or that is how the story goes. Injuries will be in all their glory but fantasy hockey […]

Dear Hockey Public: Simply, I was asked okay when are you going to write a little more. When were you going to bring back the Injury Ninja? There were some other questions as well. The answer is the time is now. It has been a long and strange year to say the least. Anything […]

There was a time earlier this season when the Pittsburgh Penguins were looking nothing like the potential Stanley Cup-challenging team that many had expected. Having suffered a 4-0 loss to New Jersey midway through November, the third defeat the team had endured in four games, centre Evgeni Malkin called for a team meeting to try and put a […]
