While the Preds are away, the…well, I hesitate to call these volunteers mice. And they aren’t the ones playing.
You know what, it’s a nice story about a good thing. I’ll take it.

2022-23 PHF Season Preview: Connecticut Whale | The Ice Garden
The Ice Garden’s PHF season previews are underway! I’ve opted to highlight the Whale’s here for all my colleagues who were cheering for them last year, but you can also check out much of the rest of the league.
Jack Eichel leads the way in NHL for disk replacement surgeries | ProHockeyTalk | NBC Sports
Although I absolutely felt that if Eichel needed that surgery for his quality of life he should get it, I wasn’t as quick as some people to believe that he was making a better judgment than the Buffalo Sabres’ doctors about its impact on his career.

PWHPA to host All-Star Weekend in Ottawa | The Ice Garden
Speaking of Ottawa, the PWHPA will be heading there in a little over a month for some high-skill, high-profile competition. I really like some of what the PWHPA is doing here with player selection–letting the skills competition players be chosen by their peers instead of the fans, and not requiring them to play in the All-Star Game itself.
It’s always need to see what players think of their teammates and rivals, and this time it’ll be for more than just a human interest piece (though I enjoy reading those too).

Opinion: Full Face Shields in Junior A Hockey Are Good | The Hockey News
All the changes being made to make junior hockey safer for the players are also making hockey a better and more exciting sport. The current generation of young stars grew up able to freely make plays without constantly having to dread blindside hits, and as a result bring absurd creativity to the NHL game–I wonder what cutting down further on fighting will do for the next generation.
