I’ve talked about this topic a few times over the years but when we started doing Podcasts I had an entire rant about it. Why? Because too many people refer to activities as sport.

Voorhees - - Last year in the seventh round of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft the Flyers drafted a player out of St. Cloud State named Oliver Lauridsen. Andreas Nodl hails from there and now the next Flyers player to successfully make the jump from St. Cloud State to the NHL could be this 6-6 defenseman.

New York, July 6, 2010 – New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that the club has agreed to terms with defenseman Ryan McDonagh.

Philadelphia - - Flyers forward Ville Leino has had a whirlwind season. He had trouble fitting in early on and got very little ice time. Then all of a sudden this former scoring champ of the Finnish Elite League caught fire, got tons of power play time, and has been a top-notch scorer. He’s tied the club rookie scoring record previously help by Brian Propp and now he has been one of the team’s most reliable scorers in the Stanley Cup. What’s his secret? How has he had this kind of success against Hawks goalie Antti Niemi?

GREENVILLE, S.C., April 28, 2010 – Since the ECHL’s return to Greenville, there has been a lot of buzz in the community about what the name for the new hockey team will be. Now fans are encouraged to submit their ideas in HockeyGreenville’s “Name Your Team Sweepstakes,” where the grand-prize winner will receive two season tickets for life.

MINSK, Belarus – Jack Campbell (Port Huron, Mich.) made 33 saves as the U.S. Men's National Under-18 Team captured its second consecutive gold medal at the 2010 International Ice Hockey Federation World Men's Under-18 Championship after downing Sweden, 3-1, here tonight at Minsk Arena. Team USA closed out tournament play with a 6-0-0-1 (W-OTW-OTL-L) record while outscoring its opponents, 33-7.

Newark -- While I was riding home on New Jersey transit last night I couldn’t help notice how empty the train was. Why? Because a good number of Devils fans took the earlier train home. Their fans bailed out on their team with just over five minutes to go while their team trailed 3-0 in the game, down 3-1 in the series.
