Congratulations to Wendy Kostinko! She is the winner of our trip to Chicago for the Ultimate Hockey Experience!

Do you eat, sleep, and breathe hockey? Love deep dish pizza and lake effect weather? So do we.

The NHL season isn't even a week old, but we already have a strong contender for boneheaded play of the year.

Last winter, former Tri-City Americans defenseman Clayton Stoner was lucky enough to win one of only 300 a grizzly bear hunting licenses through a British Columbia limited entry lottery. Little did the current Minnesota Wild player know a photo taken after his successful hunt would put him at the center of controversy.

The National Hockey League and its players union reached a tentative agreement to end the league's 113-day lockout on Sunday.

The NHL Lockout has cost hockey fans, and players, over 400 games, but could it soon be over?

Just seven years removed from the cancelled 2004-05 season, the NHL is moving perilously close to another major work stoppage. The regular season is still scheduled to begin October 11, just two weeks away, but the owners, who locked the players out earlier this month, have now decided to fully cancel the preseason. This does not bode well if you're a hockey fan.

It looks like we have another sport involved in another lockout on our hands. This time it's the NHL that is in talks about a new agreement between ownership and players.

Want a playoffs preview? You couldn't script this any better. Two division rivals representing cities that hate each other anyway, fighting in the standings (4th and 5th in the East). You knew this would happen. A circus like this was well in the making all year long, but the biggest line brawl of the 2011-2012 NHL season was likely initially brewing after Flyer rookie Brayden Schenn cross-checked

News is pending on a potential plan for a new Seattle sports arena that would be located in the SoDo District.
