Canada Defeats US in Overtime to Win Women’s Gold
April 14, 2024 by Jim Bay

Who’s to Blame for Coyotes Relocation?
April 14, 2024 by Cooper Krigbaum
Every time something goes haywire, people tend to point fingers at someone. Even with the Arizona Coyotes, does it happen on a game-to-game basis when things aren’t going well, or a player misses a shot, and so on; you get the point. In this instance, the Coyotes are being relocated to Salt Lake City in Utah, which houses a population of just over 200,000 people. This is costing many people their passion, favorite sports team, and most importantly, some people’s jobs. The Coyotes’ relocating goes far beyond just the hockey team.

Vancouver Canucks’ 2023-24 Team Awards
April 14, 2024 by Matthew Zator
The Vancouver Canucks by all accounts, despite their struggles since the All-Star Break, have had a phenomenal season so far. They have already tied their third-best point total of all-time at 107 points and could conceivably finish with 111 (if they go 2-0 the rest of the way), which would only fall short of their historic 117-point season set in 2010-11.
