It's beginning to feel like Hockey season again - and not a moment too soon! As such, we're back as well. Here, we commemorate the Lokomotiv crash and the late Noel Picard. We also talk about the changes in the national media landscape - and the local effect with Jeremy Rutherford's move to The Athletic. Good on him, and welcome aboard Jim Thomas! Other changes include a new head of Department of Player Safety, as well as a few rules changes for the upcoming year. We have our first signpost of the hockey season - the Traverse City tournament - to talk about too.
