It has been a big last four months for Jordan Harris. From representing the USA at the World Junior Championships (WJC) in the Czech Republic, to scoring the game-winning goal in the Beanpot in Double OT to give the Northeastern Huskies their third Beanpot championship in a row, he’s had quite the junior year. Harris said the Beanpot goal is something that will stand out to him for a while. Double Overtime Power Play Goal!

MONTREAL—It’s important to pick up where we left off in Part 1 of this two-part interview with Ben Chiarot, because it best serves to explain how our telephone conversation last Friday shifted from one about his breakthrough year to a broader talk about the Montreal Canadiens’ season, his teammates, and what the future holds. “Even for our last game of the year, we played Nashville at home and it was Game 70 of the season, and still putting on the red Habs jersey gave m

Jesse Ylönen joined Habsent Minded to reflect on his season in Liiga, and the finish that took him to Laval at the end of the season. There were other Finnish teams that asked for Ylönen to spend the playoffs with them on a loan, but Ylönen wanted to go to Laval and get the North American experience. With this being the most important summer of Ylönen’s career (so far), Ylönen was on his way back from an individual rollerskating session when we speak to him in his car. Ylönen thinks that his father — former NHLer Juha Ylönen — will benefit his training this summ

In an in-depth interview with Jim Madigan, Northeastern University’s head coach, Eric Engels confirmed the return of Jordan Harris to college hockey for a final season. The defenceman made the right choice. As maturity has been heralded as one of his main qualities by many (including Madigan in the interview) it feels like Harris has been with Northeastern University for years now. In reality,

As we await a decision on whether or not the 2019-20 NHL season will continue or not, 101 years ago today, the Stanley Cup was not awarded under very similar circumstances. Also, one of the best players of the 1980s started a historic streak on this date and one of the toughest guys to ever play in the National Hockey League is celebrating a birthday. Stanley Cup Final Cancelled During Epidemic In a scenario that is starting to sound very familiar, on April 1, 1919, the sixth and final game of the Stanley Cup Final was canceled because of an influenza epidemic. The series was a rematch of the 1917 Stanley Cup Final between the NHL champion Montreal Canadiens and the Seattle Metropolitans of the Pacific Coast Hockey League. The Metropolitans won Games 1 and 3 before Game 4 was considered a tie after no goals scored through two overtime periods. The Canadiens won Game 5 in ove

MONTREAL — When I caught up with Ben Chiarot on Friday, he had just returned home from his daily walk with his wife Jacqueline, daughter Emmerson and dog Bailey. “Highlight of my days,” the 28-year-old Montreal Canadiens defenceman said from his Waterloo, Ont., home. Chiarot’s nights have been occupied by Sportsnet’s rewind broadcasts. One, in particular, had him on the edge of his seat. “They were showing Game 7, Toronto-Detroit, from the first round of the 1993 playoffs,” he said. “Nikolai Borschevsky scored the overtime winner. I think it was (Nicklas) Lidstrom’s rookie season. Th

The goaltender had some quality games, but a large number of poor outings as well. It was a season of up and downs for Frederik Dichow, the Danish goalkeeper whom Montreal Canadiens drafted last summer. He stood on his head some games and let in a few easy ones in others. He didn’t get to play much in the World Junior Division IA Championship where Denmark played to requalify for the main event, but on the other hand he did get an opportunity to experience the SHL when he was called up to Malmö’s A team, as a backup, for two games. Malmö’s general manager, Patrik Sylvegård, said to Eyes On The Prize in December that “We are considering Dichow as a backup goalie in SHL next season,
