Notre Dame overcame the sun and glare on a frigid, but sunny Chicago lakefront day.

2013 World Juniors: Team USA and the Challenge That Lies Ahead
Oh, hello there. If you've found your way back to our site after all this time, well then we're as surprised as you are. It's a safe bet to assume that the majority of our money last year was made on our second-to-none (except for, uh, most) coverage of the 2012 World Junior Championship.
We had wall-to-wall coverage of teams, players, results, you name it. Unfortunately...
The State of Hockey News' is now on Google+, and other Wild-related news...
My students laugh when I tell them what life was like when I was back in High School. You know, those halcyon days when virtually all kids didn't have a cell phone and very few had an E-mail address and whenever you did a report you went to a library not to search on the Internet but rather you checked out books, the microfiche or other periodicals. Sadly, in my opinion,...

Julie Robenhymer: US National Junior Team Evaluation Camp - Day 3
In the first international games, it was a tale of two teams and I'm not entirely sure if the story is about USA-Blue and USA-White or Finland and Sweden. The early game was a battle between Finland and USA-Blue in which Mario Lucia (Penticton - MIN) scored the game winner with 35 seconds left in regulation that also completed his hat trick for a 5-4 win. The late game was a...
Wild players and prospects continue their season in the playoffs and tournaments
I think one of the coolest things about the post-season are the faces of the athletes. It really can tell you a lot. From the pale, bearded face of players that look more like members of a World War II U-boat crew. Their pale, wooden yet scraggly appearance is a testament to the stress and journey of their post-season run. From the 1,000-yard stare when you can see a team...
No playoffs for the Wild? No problem, Aeros and Wild prospects give fans plenty of playoff ...
The Minnesota Wild missed the playoffs for a 4th season in a row, but that doesn't mean there is not quality Wild-related hockey still to watch. There are a small number of prospects battling their way through their respective league playoffs that should give Wild fans more than enough reason to check up on their progress.
