The NHL just held its annual Research and Development Camp, which is an event where the NHL leaders get to try out new rule ideas and see how they pan out on ice. It is interesting to see what ideas they come up with and thinking of how they will look if they would implement them. I get excited at the possibilities.

As the hockey season inches closer everyone seems to search for any little piece of news related to hockey to fill the void that the offseason creates.
