Reports have now come out that the NHL has narrowed down its options for the next outdoor game (January 1st, 2009) to be held either in Chicago or in Pittsburgh, with at least the Red Wings or the Penguins being featured.
The apparent front-running stadium to host the event, though, is Wrigley Field, the hallowed "friendly confines" of the Chicago Cubs. The game would be between the Blackhawks (an exciting, improving, and young team with two blossoming superstars) and the Wings (an old, decrepit band of losers who might smear their greasy paws on the Stanley Cup this year).
But don't rule out Yankee Stadium just yet. The soon-to-be-demolished relic of baseball lore could still be chosen to host an outdoor game between the Rangers and the Bruins (yay, another East Coast-centric and over-hyped rivalry game).
The only other option on the table as far as locations go is the football stadium at Penn State University, called Beaver Stadium or "Happy Valley" (capa | | By: Mile High Hockey | | |

| Octopus twirling banned in Hockey | | 2008-05-24 08:00:33 | | The NHL commissioner Gary Bettman has banned the fans from detroit tossing a Octopus onto the ice. This is a tradition to the fans started back in April 15 1952 started by two Detroit brothers, Pete and Jerry Cusimano, storeowner's in Detroit's Eastern Market. They threw the eight-legged cephalopod on the ice at Olympia Stadium. Each tentacle of the octopus was symbolic of a win in the playoffs. This tossing of the Octopus puts the Red Wing Fans into a frenzy and a major boost to the teams moral. $10,000 fine to the team if a Octopus is tossed on the Ice. Bettman went on the Stoney and Wojo show to justify his decision claiming;"Actually, there's a very good reason for it. We haven't fined or given a delay of game penalty for the throwing of the octopus because we understand and respect the tradition. Having said that, when you swing the octopus around - and I don't know the exact term for it -- but octopus 'gunk' gets on the ice and occasionally has gotten on the players -- the goalt | | By: doghouse with baddog Dog Blog | | |

Well mind you Canada's national sport is apparently lacrosse for some reason and if you look at the participation numbers a hell of a lot more people play organized soccer then organized hockey. That all being said hockey is always a topic of discussion no matter where you go especially this time of year.My hockey career never did take off for a couple of reasons and the main one being I can not skate to save my life. Sure I can whip around the boards at full tilt but the only way I know how to stop is to either hit the sides of the rink or run into someone else. Right now I am supporting two different teams.

MHH even scored a spot on the "Featured Posts" list at the SBNation home page for the first time ever. And, during all of this, daily traffic has more than doubled, to an average of more than 400 unique visitors per day, with weekdays averaging nearly 500.

| We Don't Know Anything About Hockey | | 2008-02-25 12:45:02 | | Since Mile High Hockey's three front page contributors and just about all of its commenting members agree that Coach Joel Quenneville has systematically failed at his job all season long, we know nothing about hockey. Hockey "experts" like Peter Ruttgaizer (Altitude Sports) and Sandy Clough (Sportsradio 950 The Fan) have decided that Avalanche blogs, message boards, and fans in general, are idiots because we have dared criticize the team's coach. Their main argument: the team suffered injuries to the Three Esses and therefore all else is forgiven. So let's put aside the league-worst power play, the horrific early-season goalie carousel (and a resurgent, much-improved Jose Theodore who still has a losing record), Tyler Arnason's very existence, Wyatt Smith and all the injustices done to Brad Richardson, and consider just one question: How is it possible that a team with Joe Sakic, Ryan Smyth and Paul Stastny healthy and in the lineup was able to give up a two-goal lead and lose | | By: Mile High Hockey | | |

| Hockey Skates Sharp, Dangerous | | 2008-02-11 08:30:00 | | Hockey players might be a cut above other athletes, and the game itself might be a little slice of heaven for fans, but recent injuries caused by skate blades (wait for it) could sever the game's illusion of safety for a while (hold your applause, please).On Saturday, Steve Downie added another person to his growing list of victims this season, when his skate blade struck lineman Pat Dapuzzo in the face. The soon-to-be-retiring official dropped to the ice, which he quickly decorated modern art-style with his own blood, and was later treated for a laceration that required numerous stitches. He is expected to be fine, and chicks dig facial scars.Then, yesterday, Panthers star Olli Jokinen was upended during a game against the Sabres. As he fell, his skate blade struck teammate Richard Zednik in the neck. Thankfully Zednick had the composure to skate to the bench instead of falling down, and was immediately treated by paramedics and is now in stable condition at the hospital.

| The wild world of Swedish hockey with Peter Westermark | | 2007-12-22 03:15:11 | | If you’re looking for someone who knows as much about, say, Frolunda defenseman Ronnie Sundin as Toronto Maple Leafs superstar Mats Sundin, Peter Westermark would be a great bet. The 32-year-old native of Skelleftea, Sweden blogs for HockeySverige.se, and is a longtime contributor to outlets such as McKeen’s Hockey, Hockey’s Future, and IHWC.NET, the official [...] | | By: Hockey Adventure | | |

| Black Hockey Players Wall of Fame | | 2007-12-13 14:23:27 | | Last year, we created a Black Hockey Players Wall of Fame which is a photo gallery of players drafted by or who played in the NHL. When we moved from Colorado, the ISP account which hosted the pages featuring African-Canadian and American players was canceled, so I apologize to those who have been looking for the pages in vain. I've re-published them in a new location. Please help spread the link. Thanks to those who have asked for an update.

| Combined Soccer/Ice Hockey Stadium Planned In Switzerland | | 2007-12-08 09:01:00 | | Swiss investment bank Credit Suisse has laid out plans for a combined soccer/ice hockey stadium in Zurich that would host the city's three biggest professional sports teams (that would be Grasshoppers, F.C. Zurich and ZSC Lions, for those of you not in the know). I don't think I've ever heard of anything like this before. There are renderings of what the place would look like here.They aren't envisioning a "hybrid" structure but actually two different stadia (along with a shopping center) under the same roof. Neither would be particularly large, but then Switzerland is not a particularly large country; 20,000 capacity for the soccer grounds and half that for the hockey rink.The idea is born out of necessity. Where Switzerland's largest city once had two separate soccer grounds and an ice hockey stadium, they now basically have no structures dedicated to either sport. Grasshoppers longtime stadium, the Hardturm, was torn down earlier this year and F.C. Zurich's has been converted | | By: The Soccer Source | | |

| Seven super November hockey stories | | 2007-11-29 04:43:26 | | Here are seven hockey stories from both mainstream sites and blogs that made an impression on me this month.

| The Top 10 strangest team names in pro hockey history | | 2007-11-28 04:42:46 | | No NHL teams. (Too familiar to be “strange.”) No junior teams. (Sorry, Lewiston MAINEiacs–you have to be able to drink in the US.) No teams with foreign-language names. (”Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk” might look funny to North Americans, but so what? “Manchester Monarchs” looks funny to Russians.) No teams with regular animal or force-of-nature names.

| The gangbangers of Slovenian hockey | | 2007-11-17 20:23:44 | | For many NHL fans, Anze Kopitar of the Los Angeles Kings put Slovenia on the hockey map with his dazzling 61-point rookie season last year. But this former Yugoslav republic of 2 million had already made its mark in the elite division of the IIHF World Championships as early as the 2002 tournament in Sweden.

| Barry Bonds Has Nothing To Do With Hockey At All | | 2007-11-15 17:31:00 | | But I'll be damned if I don't get in on the Google search orgy that will ensue from his announced indictment on perjury and obstruction of justice charges. Not that this surprises anyone, of course, but it sure is big news on ESPN and just about every other news outlet in the country. And we all know how much Bonds really likes the press to begin with. I bet he's loving all this free publicity.Anyway, he has nothing to do with hockey except maybe having a larger head than Mark Messier. But just barely. | | By: Dear Lord Stanley | | |

| Watch for the Hockey Stick | | 2007-10-20 02:54:56 | |
There’s a classic curve that shows up in a number of financial models for early stage companies. It’s called the "classic hockey stick." It begins with a slight dip in performance. Then starts to rebound and continues on a straight line path at a sharp upward curve until the numbers get very huge a few years out.
It almost looks like you could do the graph by using a hockey stick and save you the trouble of going through the whole forecast in Excel.
The problem with these is that in almost all cases it’s not real. I’ve been blessed to be part of two ventures where we actually exceeded any forecast that might have even been done on a hockey stick basis, but those are the exception and they’re few and far between.
The fundamental issues with a hockey stick type of forecast is that it assumes many costs will stay fairly steady or just rise very modestly with the increase in sales. Among some of these costs are:
1. General and administrative expenses.
2. Marketing cost.

| Hockey Player Mir Ranjan Negi | | 2007-10-15 03:51:00 | | MIR RANJAN NEGI is the name known to everyone these days. Yash Raj’s hit movie CHAK DE INDIA was based on Negi’s story. Negi was the hockey goalkeeper during the Asian Games 1982. During these games Pakistan defeated India. This was a humiliating experience for him. He was blamed for it. Then he came back as a coach & the Indian hockey team won the GOLD in 1998 ASIAN GAMES at BANGKOK under his guidance. Then he coached the girl’s hockey team & this team too won the GOLD at MANCHESTER COMMONWEALTH GAMES in 2002. Film CHAK DE INDIA was on the same storyline where Shahrukh Khan played Negi’s character. Negi also guided Chak De India unit on the field during the shooting. Movie was a big hit & everyone came to know about this hockey player. This 51-year-old man is a real player indeed. He wanted to promote hockey worldwide. He wanted to give hockey its recognition. He is also building a | | By: spicy-mix | | |

| More Athletes and Crohn's - Hockey Player out Indefinitely with Ulcerative Colitis (IBD) | | 2007-09-07 03:10:00 | | Forward Fernando Pisani will be out of the Edmonton Oilers' lineup indefinitely after being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. Ulcerative colitis is a type of inflammatory bowel disorder and very closely related to Crohn's disease. Pisani had 14 goals and 14 assists in 77 games with Edmonton last season. After scoring 14 goals in the 2006 playoffs, Pisani was rewarded with a four-year, $10 million contract in the offseason.Hard to believe that at 30 he is younger than me.

| Turgeon To Shock The Hockey World With Official Retirement | | 2007-09-05 00:35:00 | | Even though the Denver Post reported that Pierre Turgeon was on the cusp of announcing his official retirement from the NHL back in June, it appears the would-be Hall of Famer has finally gotten around to it.According to various sources, Turgeon will officially announce the end of his hockey career on Wednesday. Though he did score 1,327 points in 1,294 games, his lack of a Stanley Cup ring and any substantial hardware other than a Lady Byng has some wondering if he'll make the Hall Of Fame cut. I'm sure he will, but just in case, I offer this trophy as a parting gift. Nice knowing you, Sweet Pete. | | By: Dear Lord Stanley | | |

| Hockey Bloggers Are Sarcastic | | 2007-08-15 21:58:00 | | Barry Melrose Rocks posted "A Handy Guide For Beginners: Hockey Blogging" on Monday and it's definitely worth a read. I have to admit that DLS is guilty of at least three of the things snidely listed as common themes among hockey blogs. The Ballhype links, the funny captions (or word bubbles, in my case) and the random chicks. What can I say? Guilty as charged.I must say I'm honored to be indirectly called out by a blog whose name pays homage to Mr. Melrose's testicles.

| Friday Hockey History Moment | | 2007-08-10 20:04:23 | | The hockey world, apparently intent on boring us all to death this offseason, continues its ban on interesting news.

It's eight minutes of exciting, overtime postseason hockey, complete with heroics from Peter Stastny. Enjoy. | | By: Mile High Hockey | | |

| Outdoor Hockey at The Ralph - Potentially Great for Buffalo | | 2007-07-11 16:16:05 | | As reported yesterday by WGR550, The Buffalo News and Die By the Blade, the NHL is considering playing a regular season game outdoors for the first time in league history. How is this related to the Bills? Reports yesterday indicated that the Buffalo Sabres are one of two teams in the running to host the game - at good old Ralph Wilson Stadium. For the record, this is not set in stone by any means. The NHL is still deciding between Buffalo and Detroit (which would use the MLB's Tigers' Comerica Park) as potential venues for what NBC is tentatively calling "The Ice Bowl". (Way to get creative, NBC.) So it's not a done deal that The Ralph will be hosting any NHL hockey games. All I'm here to say is that hosting this game would be a great opportunity not just for the Sabres and the city of Buffalo, but for the Bills as well. Why? It's not money - Ralph Wilson Stadium is owned by Erie County, not the Bills, so any money made from renting out the stadium for this game goes to E | | By: Buffalo Rumblings | | |

| Thomas Vanek Is One Hot Piece Of Hockey Tail | | 2007-07-06 22:02:00 | | Thomas Vanek must be great in bed. Or at least, he must be great in the locker room, since Edmonton and Buffalo just got done fighting over him. Buffalo will re-sign the up-and-coming-but-still-kind-of-unproven young Vanek, but not without oodles of controversy.Apparently, Kevin Lowe, universally-admired GM of the Oilers, temporarily went totally f-cking bat sh-t crazy and decided to make a 7-year, $50 million offer to Vanek, which included FOUR first round draft picks to Buffalo because he is still a restricted free agent. Four first round picks. FOUR. And a 7-year deal. For $50 million.Not to be outdone in the genius department, Buffalo GM Darcy Regier then matched the offer, which Vanek, likely realizing the impossibility that anything this balls-out amazing will ever happen to him again, is sure to sign. His pay last year was $942 thousand. This coming season he will make $5 million, and that's just the beginning.

| Ryan Smyth Is Not Hockey Jesus | | 2007-07-03 21:25:00 | | Though he shares a striking resemblance in the hair department (blessed be thy mullet), Ryan Smyth is not the second coming of Christ on ice. In fact, he's not even a superstar in the traditional vein of superstar hockey players. He's no Dany Heatley. He's no Alexander Ovechkin. He's not even Daniel Sedin.But you wouldn't know that if you just read Colorado Avalanche fan message boards for info. Or looked at Smyth's contract---which involves him being paid more than $6 million a year for a very long time.Ryan Smyth is a down-low, in-the-slot grinder who specializes in tip-in shots and goalie screens. He's gritty and offensively gifted, and has great "hockey sense", but he's not a winger in the style of Teemu Selanne, the speedy, nimble sharpshooter who can score from anywhere on the ice. For an Avalanche example of that type of winger, Milan Hejduk (in his prime) comes immediately to mind.Ryan Smyth is not that kind of guy.
