Season 13 of the EURO League will be in the history book by the first week of May. Coincidentally, the real NHL season will have just ended, meaning Websim’s new set of attributes for current NHL rookies will be out just when we need them. The NHL draft will be conducted two months after that.…
Early in the second period in a game two weeks ago against Moscow, the Hussars worked the puck around the Maniacs’ zone while on the powerplay. Aaron Ekblad had it, contemplated bouncing the puck off the boards to Petr Vrana on the left wing, but instead made a D-to-D pass to Maxim Chudinov, who already…
Being a goalie in the Season 13 All-Star was more difficult than it was being a skater. The league’s best wanted to show off their skill and checking and playing hard-nosed defense was definitely not a priority. Still, Helsinki’s Karri Ramo and Belfast’s Alexander Salak were pretty good and the Northern Conference continued its domination…
Patrick Laine of St. Petersburg repeated as Hardest Shot champion when the EURO League Skills Competition was held Saturday in Zurich, Switzerland.

The Swiss city edged out Edinburgh and St. Petersburg in the poll of EURO general managers. Voting for the…
Plans are under way for the Season 13 EURO All-Star Game, to be held on the weekend of Dec. 4 and 5. General Managers in the EURO League will be asked to vote on the host city for this year’s all-star game. The host city will not have to do anything special for the event and…
