I’d take this back in a second if they sponsored us of course but Fanatics has been an absolute nightmare of a partnership for the NHL. As the future commissioner of the league I would never partner with a generic brand with no history of holding any sort of weight in the sports fashion world. Making merchandise for fans such as shirts, towels and off branded less expensive / affordable jerseys is one thing but to have THE BEST PLAYERS in the world rocking it is a tough look. It has JC Penny’s written all over it. The Nike jerseys at the Olympics were so clean. Imagine warming up for a NHL playoff game in a “Fanatics” sweatshirt / under gitch. That’s so JV. I wouldn’t even wear it. Terrible swag. Brutal. The NHL needs to get this right and fix this. It’s not national league at all. It’s cheap looking. Again I’d take all of this back for a 7 figure deal.

Panthers to trade WR Adam Thielen, a conditional 2026 7th-round pick and 2027 5th-round pick to Vikings for 2026 5th-round pick and 2027 4th-round pick. (via @RapSheet, @TomPelissero)
I strongly disagree with the President’s decision on Denali. Our nation’s tallest mountain, which has been called Denali for thousands of years, must continue to be known by the rightful name bestowed by Alaska’s Koyukon Athabascans, who have stewarded the land since time immemorial.
I am excited to announce I have signed my first NHL contract with @NJDevils. Thanks to everyone who made WMU the best 3 years of my life. Excited for this new chapter!
