- imagine if you could spell "lose."
- Here’s the AHL’s leading scorer, Jeremy Bracco, playing a little post-practice fetch with his Siberian Husky. @kaileysibley this is obvi for you.
00:00 - J.A. Happ is retiring. Happy retirement to the pitcher that gave me the only news I've ever broken as a journalist: That he didn't know what to do with bags of milk when he first moved to Canada.
- Big news: @nwhl expects to have teams in Toronto and Montreal this upcoming season—board approved. NWHL is pursing opportunities to work with existing partners & stakeholders. And the @NHL has made a commitment and will be one of the women's league's biggest financial sponsors.
- K last one. Our feature on Dani Rylan and women’s hockey was the most read Big Read on a single day in @Sportsnet history. So I guess the ‘No one cares about women’s sports!’ crowd can put that in their pipe and smoke it. And maybe also make us a sandwich while they’re at it.
- A statement from Jocelyne Larocque re: removing her silver medal following Canada's loss to the U.S. #Olympics

- This is what Jaromir Jagr said about why he was still playing, five years ago, at age 43. I think it’s one of the best answers ever.
- Coaches on PWHL Toronto’s bench kept getting notifications on their watches that the environment was “too loud.”
