Here's An Adorably Vicious Hockey Brawl With 9-Year-Olds
Making the rounds today is this pro-quality brawl between two Kazakhstani U10 teams. If the biased YouTube uploader is to be believed, it began after the winning Astana team (in white) kept trash talking during the handshake line. What's Kazakh for "I can't believe I shook this guy's frigging hand...

The Hockey Jersey Dress Is The Perfect Holiday Gift For A Future Ex-Girlfriend
Third String Goalie checks back in with Lise, a Hamilton lass who's made a cottage industry out of turning old NHL jerseys into dresses. You should totally buy this for your non-sports fan girlfriend, and maybe we'll run a gallery of disgusted faces and possessions thrown out onto the lawn. [Third S...

Wayne Gretzky's Daughter Makes Triumphant, Pantsless Return To Twitter

It Took All Of 16 Seconds For Sean Avery To Get Into A Fight With The Penguins
Calling it a "fight" is a bit misleading—the participants were only assessed two minute roughing minors—but the efficiency by which it was commenced is worth noting, especially since Sean Avery didn't appear to actually start this fight with the Penguins' Tyler Kennedy. (He took a more active part...

Swedish Hockey Player Snaps Stick On Breakaway, Improbably Scores Anyway
Jonte Berg is a winger for Västerås, in the second-highest tier of Swedish hockey. As he got set on a breakaway last night against Malmö , the last thing on his mind was that his stick might snap. After the stick broke, the last thing on his mind was that a Malmö defender would kick it into the ne...

NHL Rookies Draw Like 4-Year-Olds
That up there is the handiwork of Avs rookie Gabriel Landeskog, and it's a hell of a medical textbook cross-section of a watermelon. Except it's not that. It's Landeskog's favorite pregame meal of spaghetti (we assume he pronounced it "pasgetti") and Swedish meatballs. This is acceptable because he ...

KHL Coach Grabs Stick, Tries To Bash In Some Fans' Brains
As a well-traveled NHL player, Andrei Nazarov was very large and enjoyed fighting. He wears a suit and tie and glasses now, and coaches Vityaz Chekhov in the KHL, but is still very large and still enjoys fighting. So we would very much recommend you not throw bottles at him....

The Lokomotiv Yaroslavl Plane Crash Was Due To Pilot Error, Drugs, Shitty Working Conditions
Russian aviation watchdogs announced their findings in a two-month investigation into the crash that wiped out an entire KHL team.

They Do Spin-O-Ramas In College Hockey, Too
We showed you Patrick Kane's nifty spin-o-rama earlier this week, but here's one from the land of college hockey, where it's almost more impressive. The Wisconsin Badgers' Mark Zengerle puts the spin on a Nebraska-Omaha defender and finds teammate Tyler Barnes for an easy goal. (The Badgers droppe...

Try To Guess How A Youth Hockey Team Used Water Bottles In Their Hazing Ritual
The Neepawa Natives are a Junior A team from Manitoba, and they have a very unique way of welcoming rookies to the squad. The CBC had a pair of whistleblowing parents on yesterday (in silhouette, because the MJHL is serious business), and they spilled the beans on a frank-and-beans-heavy tradition....

Patrick Kane Pulled Off A Perfect Spin-O-Rama Assist Last Night
The Hawks beat the Ducks 3-2 in a shutout in Chicago last night, and Patrick Kane, our favorite Buffalo boozehound, provided the prettiest play of the game.
