This time on a more serious note as the Sydney Merchants of the Cape Breton Senior Hockey League came calling. Joseph didn’t disappoint as he guided the club to two league championships.

Have you ever wondered what the oilers were like in their first season? And what's in the future for Connor McDavid?

I also think this user is right but it’s a little over the top. “Now that Connor McDavid, Jack Eichel and Noah Hanifan has been drafted into the league, people will begin shifting their focus more towards them. We aren't just talking about goals we are talking about shots, +/- avg., assists etc. For instance i am a carolina fan and everybody loves Justin Faulk some think he is one of the best in the league for D. However last night against the Red Wings he had a -3 +/- ratio, that leads me to believe that Hanifan who was drafted by the Canes is leading up to be a better player than Faulk. Hanifan who was +1 +/- ratio had an assist as the game progressed. Crosby who has been playing with many very good players in the NHL is still the best, his line is almost never scored on and they get more SOG (shots on goal) than all the other lines. Shots leads to dominating the game, dominating the games leads to smarter hockey and more enthusiastic players. Yes Crosby is the best in the game.” quotes a user from

Another one of the most influential hockey players of all time is Bobby Orr. Orr was born in 1948 in Parry Sound, Canada (Orr). Bucko McDonald, a former NHL defenseman in the 30's and 40's, coached the young Bobby. He believed he could be a great defenseman with lots of speed and high stick skills as well. This turned out to be one of the beet moves for Bobby's career, as Orr played ten seasons in the NHL. He played nine years with the Bruins, and his final year in Chicago. He wished to play longer if it wasn't for his knees giving out on him, as he injured them both early in his NHL career. Nevertheless, Orr was arguably called the greatest defenseman of all time for what he did in both sides of the ice.

He shoots he scores! The history of hockey has changed over time. There are many good players that wouldn't be as good if these changes wouldn't have changed.

The Belleville Senators has already had big news week without even hitting the ice yet this week. Dating back to Sunday when Ben Harpur was resigned to the American Hockey League followed by Jack Rodewald signing an entry-level contract Tuesday, Jordan Murray was reassigned to Brampton of the ECHL Tuesday. Then Wednesday Rodewald and Chlapik would be recalled to Ottawa. With Rodewald, Chlapik, DiDomenico, and McCormick with Ottawa and Mike Blunden injured, The Belleville signed forward Justin Vaive to a PTO. DiDomenico and Chlapik both recorded their first NHL point Thursday night assisting on a Dion Phaneuf power play marker. DiDomenico made his presence felt for Ottawa again recording an assist and

For Werenski, his career began at a young age when he started to play hockey at the age of 4. As he got older and his play developed, he was on Belle Tire and had 8 goals and 20 assists in only 35 games and that is only the beginning (Powers). He later went on and won a national championship with Belle Tire in 2011

David Desharnais had a goal and two assists, Paul Byron scored a shorthanded goal in a second straight game, and Lars Eller had a power-play goal for Montreal (11-2-0).

Known for his physical fitness during his career and even after his career, but, it did not start well. He thought his summer lacrosse schedule would keep him in proper shape heading towards his first NHL training camp. Yet, Coach Bob Johnson disagreed and labeled him as someone not committed to being a hockey player.

George "Hat trick" Laraque. In contrast to Laraque, Scott is a much better player because he is bigger and he once even made Kessel turn into a lumberjack. And personally I'm surprised no one photo shopped him to look like Kurt Cobain with all that flannel. Either way though to make one of the best goal scorers in the league run away like a little child is impressive and something Edmonton has to have. In fact John Scott brings a hell of a lot of potential, he can fight, he can hit and last year he proved he can score more than

Sidney Crosby is considered one of the greatest hockey players to ever live, his skill is another level from other players but he had to work his way there. Sidney was born in Nova Scotia and learned to skate when he was just three years old. When crosby was ten he had scored 158 goals in 55 games, this gave him recognition across Canada. He then moved to Minnesota to play for St. Mary’s prep school, while he was there he set many school records, and lead his team to win the national title. After his year ar St. Mary’s prep Crosby returned to Canada and was the first under-18 player to play for the Canadian Junior Hockey League. Sidney Crosby was now the number one prospect for all NHL teams and they even called the 2005 draft the “Sidney Crosby

Simmonds turned the aforementioned blunder into motivation by recording seven goals and three assists over his last nine games of the season — He did not play in Sunday's regular season finale against the New York Islanders.
