Remember how fun it was when every NHL team posted a Hometown Remix teaser and then... we just haven't seen the actual jerseys yet, beside some leaks?

Much has been made about the big changes with Canada's #WomensWorlds roster, especially since its the youngest group assembled in over a decade I look at why the sudden youth movemenet in my latest for @dailyfaceoff.bsky.social www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/why-did...

dailyfaceoff.comWhy did Canada’s women’s roster go younger for 2026 Women’s World Championship?Veterans like Emerance Maschmeyer, Sarah Nurse and Jocelyne Larocque won't be on the roster in Denmark next month.

Jack McBain has to be one of the most consistent NHLers right now, statistically. 2022-23: 26 points 2023-24: 26 points 2024-25: 27 points 2025-26: 25 points 2026-27: 25 points (84-game pace)

Jack Quinn is having a breakout season with the Buffalo Sabres. He was a dominant junior hockey goal-scorer, but his game has evolved so much since then. Buy in to the hype: https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/buffalo-sabres-jack-quinn-breakout-nhl-season-goals-assists-points-nhl

My mask for the Netherlands national ball hockey team. Had to stick with my usual venom theme, but this time in Dutch colors. Can't wait for November.

BREAKING: Connor McDavid is great at hockey. Is 200 points in the cards? Only Wayne Gretzky has managed to do it (Mario Lemeiux was close). It's going to be a tough total to hit, but if anyone could do it, it's McDavid. www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/could-e...

dailyfaceoff.comCould Oilers’ Connor McDavid really crack the 200-point mark?McDavid is off to the best start of his career, but will it be enough to join one of the NHL's most exclusive clubs?

Just about everyone at the University of Michigan is thriving right now, but it's cool seeing #FlyTogether prospect Drew Schock – who is eligible for USA's #WorldJuniors team – putting up points right now. He's up to eight points in six games. He had 10 points as a freshman last year.

Working on a CHL roster projection for the CHL/USA series next month. Big theme: tons of forward depth. Not a ton of superstar power, but considering about 18 forwards for 13 spots.

Jayden Perron (13 points) and Michael Hage (12) have absolutely lit up the scoresheet with the University of Michigan so far. Michigan hasn't really played any tough competition yet, but still a huge stat line to start the year.

Ethan Wyttenbach has continued his scoring rampage with Quinnipiac. Absolutely will be one of the top contenders for the Hobey Baker.

One fascinating prospect so far is Buffalo Sabres seventh-round draft pick Vasily Zelenov. The Austrian national team forward has seven points through four games with the University of Wisconsin.

Former Vegas Golden Knights prospect Lucas Elvenes is having himself one heck of a season in the SHL. Elvenes has two goals and 11 assists for 13 points through six games with the Växjö Lakers. His SHL deal ends this spring. He's 27. Potential NHL UFA target?
