Catonsville earns stroke-off victory over Dulaney
In one year, Catonsville senior goalie Hannah Jefferey went from not playing field hockey at all, to playing in one of the greatest games of her life. Jefferey, who was a field player as a sophomore on the junior varsity, didn’t play as a junior, but returned this year when the Comets needed a keeper. [...]
Central, Auckland reach hockey league finals
Central and Auckland will have two bites of the cherry after both their men’s and women’s teams qualified for the National Hockey League finals in Wellington today.

Devils name Peter DeBoer new head coach
Newark, NJ — The New Jersey Devils have named Peter DeBoer their new head coach. DeBoer spent the past three seasons as the head coach of the Florida Panthers, but was fired immediately after the 2010-11 campaign ended in April.

Red Wings Stay Alive – Detroit Comes Back for 4-3 Win over San Jose
There wasn’t any big speech or dramatic moment back in a quiet San Jose Sharks locker room, just a simple two-word message from a few veterans: Move on. At this point, the Detroit Red Wings have given them no choice. Tomas Holmstrom broke a tie with 6:08 remaining, and the Red Wings scored three third-period [...]
John Tortorella Earned a Contract Extension from the New York Rangers
New York Rangers’ coach John Tortorella, despite another bumpy year, deserved the contract extension he received (thought to be three years). Ultimately, he managed to make the playoffs with a team that was not only inexperienced and/or bad, but one that was also injured for much of the season. Tortorella got a pretty bad team [...]
Rinne looks to return to Vezina-caliber standard
When one sees Pekka Rinne fill up the net with his 6-foot-5 frame and stop the puck with remarkable athleticism, it’s difficult to think of a more imposing goaltender in hockey. It’s even more difficult to believe Rinne was taken in the eighth round, with the 258th pick, in 2004, and this was just his [...]
Craig Smith picked for Team USA
The opportunity for Craig Smith came out of the blue, leaving the sophomore center and assistant captain for the University of Wisconsin men’s hockey team almost speechless. Smith learned last week he’s been chosen to play for Team USA in the International Ice Hockey Federation World Championships, giving him a unique chance to measure himself [...]
Why Red Wings will win the Cup
If experience and defense wins championships, the Red Wings will raise the Stanley Cup again in June. THE BIG WHY: Only one team has Nicklas Lidstrom, easily the most experienced and arguably still, at 41, the most superior defenseman in the NHL. Only one team has Pavel Datsyuk, perhaps the slickest two-way centerman in the [...]
Matt Cooke Suspended for Remainder of Season and First Round of Playoffs
Looks like the Pens will be without Matt Cooke for the remainder of the season, as the league mandated that he will miss the remaining 10 games of the regular season and the first round of the playoffs for his hit on New York’s Ryan McDonagh in Sunday’s game against the Rangers. For the second [...]
