For decades, Fort William and Port Arthur, Ontario were separate communities. They had an intense rivalry until Jan. 1, 1970 when they merged.
Most wanted to call the new city Lakehead, but it was not to be.
This is the story of the Thunder Bay merger.

Man, Tage Thompson and Alex Tuch are a LOAD for an opposing team to handle. Sabres win and have an identical record as the Red Wings. Both with 23 games. Sabres are a playoff lock. They are the 3rd or 4th best team in the Conference. Kevyn Adams GM of the year.

Connor Hellebuyck:
Never played Tier 1.
Never played in The Brick.
Never played Quebec PW.
Never made a Development Camp.
Did play HS hockey.
Did play NAHL.
Did play NCAA D1.
Did win a Vezina.
Did win Olympic gold.
And yet we’ve got parents stressing over which 8U team

The standard is the standard and, presently, the standard is Denver. Nothing gets by their coach David Carle. He sees all and has a voracious appetite for excellence. The players are mature and composed. You can't be great without being competitive & composed. That's Denver.
