@wyshynski I’d vote @RIMOWA personally. Iconic style, very legit durability, flagship color is silver, plus there’s wheels for a summer full of traveling the world. Most guys essentially live out of one all year anyways on the road, would be a really cool strategic partnership for the @NHL

“Make tomorrow better than today”

That’s the motto of Glenn Healy, Executive Director & President of the NHL Alumni

Today at their golf tournament, Healy discussed the recent NHL/NHLPA CBA, where the league and union agreed to contribute north of $4M combined towards a post-retirement wellness plan

alumni receive: 
A Family doctor
A Mental wellness professional (their children are eligible too)

Those who played 400 games receive dental &  prescription eyewear coverage too. 

If you don’t meet that threshold, there is a “catastrophic and financial distress plan” to help

Glenn (and the staff at the NHL Alumni) have worked incredibly hard at this.

@geargeekhockey Whatever they are I need a pair immediately

[Garret Sparks @GSparks40]

@J_Swish24 No love for the man they call ‘Bandz’ Jakob Chychrun? 23 bingos from the blueline and there’s absolutely 0 respect from the league on his name or game. As a former teammate of the fella Nick the Stick I figured he’d warrant consideration after the year he had, but I’ll hang up 📞

[Garret Sparks @GSparks40]

@WarriorHockey Will they come in Sasquatch size for those with aircraft carriers for boots? Can you go full custom out of the gate or is that in the future plans? So many questions but have been looking forward to these for a while now, let’s get me in some of these slippers- talk to me Warrior

Incredible quote, fantastic perspective and a legendary career. Crazy to think I’m 1-0 against this guy all time 😂 but seriously Bob is on the Mount Rushmore of 2010+ goalies, having a mentality like this keeps you on top well into the 2020’s

[Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds]

Sergei Bobrovsky tonight: "I'm living the dream. I play in the NHL. I'm the starting goalie for the Florida Panthers, two Stanley Cup champions. I enjoy every moment, each and every moment."

What a great quote, even as this injury-wrecked season winds down.

[Garret Sparks @GSparks40]

@Gausmus47 BNSF mention? This guy knows ball

[Garret Sparks @GSparks40]

@JasonGregor Should’ve thought twice about sending the biggest glue guy in hockey to the AHL unceremoniously, especially after the story he’s put together in an Oiler jersey.

So quick to blame every goalie in the system & shocked when their performance suffers. Picks is the gamer they need!

[Garret Sparks @GSparks40]

Biggest deal of #NHLTradeDeadline could be me inking an agreement pending trade call & league approval to join @LeafsAlumni on a one tilt ticket vs. @MLSE staff @ScotiabankArena

Wanted to break this one before The People’s 📞 @J_Swish24 or @FriedgeHNIC beat my chin to the punch

[Garret Sparks @GSparks40]

@TheAHL @goicehogs Michael Leighton is one of the most impressive goalies of the last 25 years based on durability and success, this is a pretty insane record that doesn’t get enough attention

[Garret Sparks @GSparks40]

@J_Swish24 It’s banana ball you can’t get an honorable mention from the chin of @GoldenKnights but that’s showbiz fella

[Garret Sparks @GSparks40]

@J_Swish24 Bob Chin’s can throw both ways & will test your ticker. If you love a side of crab with your butter it’s the spot. The complimentary garlic rolls slay vampires and the house Mai Tai will put you on your back like a Raffi Torres elbow. Novelty tiki cup is a nice touch as well.

[Garret Sparks @GSparks40]

Nice looking twig in his hands too, wonder what it could be? Incredible season so far with 17 tucks (2nd in @NHL for D), 35 points +24 in 47 games.

He is fully #DialedIn & intuitively uses gear he feels gives him a distinct advantage vs. the competition, a real trend setter!

[GearGeek.com🏒🤓 @geargeekhockey]

As he mentioned in the Caps’ video, Jakob Chychrun is now wearing CCM skates.

Breaking in the unreleased, expected to be known as “Vizion” model.

@heatdaddy69420 Elvis is so real. Nothing worse than making it to the NHL after years of hard work, sacrifice, and pure dedication to your craft only to have some old loser coach who thinks he knows everything about hockey (despite never playing himself) dictate your career. That’s baseball tho

[Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC]

The most unbreakable record in sports:
502 consecutive starts

[Garret Sparks @GSparks40]

@mirtle Absurd Carlo just stands there and watches it all happen, Stolie will have to start meeting these guys at the top of the crease with a blocker board or paddle to the teeth if he wants to protect himself

[Garret Sparks @GSparks40]

@spittinchiclets @goaliesonly These are ridiculously good, can’t wait to see @heatdaddy69420 rocking them on the wet deck at the W this summer

[Garret Sparks @GSparks40]

When iconic hockey brands like CCM & Bauer are bought by private equity firms intent on squeezing profit out of their purchase they spike the price of gear & rebrand the same tired technology as something new, shiny and advanced so they can charge twice as much; simple economics

[tyler seguin’s burner account @strangesoups]

this is half genuine question and half absolute disbelief but what on earth could make a stick worth $400??

[Mark Masters @markhmasters]

James Reimer on Toronto: "It's the greatest game on earth & the greatest city to play the game in. I got so many good memories. I'm sure there were some bad memories in there. (Smile) I don't remember any of them. I'm sure nobody else does either."

@TSN_Sports

[Garret Sparks @GSparks40]

@jonassiegel This is so real. Huge for him and great for the team’s young goalies to learn from him about the Passion you must have in order to tend goal for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
