Fillier — pronounced FILL'-ee-yay — is widely considered the top prospect ahead of Monday's Professional Women's Hockey League draft. The 23-year-old centre from Georgetown, Ont., said it would be an honour to be drafted by one of the league's six teams in the first round, let alone first overall.

He’s lost it as a member of the Dallas Stars, Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning. In fact, the “Perry Curse” is something you can find online pretty easily. “I never had the opportunity to p

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — The Florida Panthers are in the Stanley Cup Final for the third time. The first two, well, didn't go as planned. Swept by Colorado in 1996. Beaten in five games by Vegas last year. This trip feels different. The Panthers are a different team than they were a year ago; certainly healthier, certainly better for the experience of getting to the final and falling short. They have had to beat three extremely good teams to get here — a state rival in Tampa Bay, a real cont

Connor McDavid is the best hockey player in the world and the biggest reason the Edmonton Oilers are in the Stanley Cup Final. The reigning NHL MVP, face of the the franchise and face of the sport is also the Oilers' best hope of winning a championship for the first time since 1990 and ending Canada's 31-year drought.
