A note to any 2026/27 U16 or U18 Canadian, American or European Teams that the LEGENDARY Sudbury @bignickelhockey Tournament has opened up its Registrations for the Nov. 2026 event. Along with being arguably Ontario’s best U18 Tournament, it’s adding a U16 division so the Rinks will be flooded with Scouts so I’d encourage any Academies, Prep Schools or 2011 Minor Hockey Teams to use the link below to Register: https://t.co/ZRTJuVRQ48

MATCH FINI! Les Cubs défont les Fighting Walleye et accèdent aux quarts de finale.

I retired from playing professional hockey in 2021.
I started playing professionally in 2011 after I signed a contract with the Florida Panthers and decided to leave the University of Denver after only three seasons.
I felt completely “burnt out” when I decided to stop playing and could not understand why, after playing professionally for only 10 seasons. I always thought I was going to be the guy who played until he was 40. Recently, I had a conversation with a friend of mine, Derek Armstrong, who helped me crystallize my thoughts on why this occurred. Derek and I had very similar skill sets and talent levels.
Let’s begin by comparing our careers:
Derek: 17 years pro, 477 NHL games, 1,015 pro games, retired at 37.
Drew: 10 years pro, 99 NHL games, 322 pro games (a million healthy scratches), retired at 30.
From the time I was three years old, I shot pucks every day. I did this because I thought I had to in order to make the NHL. Derek shot pucks every day because he thought it was fun and genuinely enjoyed it.
I moved away from home when I was 13 to play hockey in Vancouver, and that was the year I mentally made hockey a job. I never once felt any pressure from either of my parents; this was simply the way I was wired at an early age. Derek played with his buddies every day on a pond until he turned 18. He didn’t think hockey was a job until his first NHL game at 20 years old.
This is an important lesson for both players and parents. I now realize that when I retired at 30, I felt exhausted because I had been treating the game like a profession for 17 seasons.
It is impossible to reach the pinnacle of any profession without years of hard work. The best players love their work. They enjoy every part of the game, which enables them to sustain energy and be successful for many years.
You have to find a way to fall in love with the daily grind, or else long-term success is impossible. This applies to sports and everything else in life.
COLLISION- Hwy 144/Edward St., Chelmsford. Officers are on scene for a collision involving a pedestrian who was struck by a vehicle. Hwy 144 is closed in both directions at that intersection. We are asking that motorists find alternative routes. Updates to follow.
Early start to the Arena Hot Dog Rankings.
1. Blind River Memorial Community Centre
A small dog (6 inch) steamed with a warm bun. The bun wasn't soggy and was fresh. Offered ketchup, mustard and relish. 7.0/10
2. Sudbury Community Arena - $2.99 Wednesday Hot Dog. This was a small 6 inch dog that was steamed. The dog was rubbery and didn't have a great taste to it. The bun was a bit soggy as well. It offered ketchup, mustard and relish. I was looking forward to this dog and was left...
