If he succeeds, the story will become legend. It's been more than six years since Jared Allen started curling, and his career is still unfolding with elements of a blockbuster film: a retired NFL player, an outrageous bet, and an Olympic dream.By

Mattias Ekholm knew the pass was coming. Or maybe he didn't. With Connor McDavid, it's hard to tell.The feed, threaded past five players scrambling to get to the front of the Florida Panthers' net, survived a tip by goalie Sergei Bobrovsky and landed on Ekholm's stick in perfect rhythm. The Edmonton Oilers defenseman sent it home to tie Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final with 13:27 to play.It was McDavid's first of two assists Wednesday night - and one of those moments that shows just how much team

Gerry McNamara, who was general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs for seven seasons in the 1980s, has died at 90. We wrote about his life in the game and his renewed connection to the team in February and are republishing it here. I first met McNamara in February 2024 through the Hockey Time Machine Zoom call - a weekly meeting of former NHL players, hockey historians, and journalists who gather to talk hockey history. He loved to hold court on these calls, and we were a willing audience. The c

During Women's History Month in March, theScore is publishing stories that illustrate how women in sports lead, inspire change, and navigate their careers. The Toronto Tempo are months away from building a roster for their debut WNBA season, but the organization is already assembling a stacked team around president Teresa Resch.

It's been decades, but Stan Fischler still remembers what one hockey insider said about Gary Bettman after he was appointed commissioner of the NHL.''He's too much lawyer,'' Fischler recalls the insider telling him. 'The other thing was that he was not a hockey guy, and he wasn't a Canadian.'Fischler says he understood the insider's perspective. But the famed journalist, who has been covering hockey since 1954, gave Bettman a chance. And, despite the naysayers, Bettman stuck around. 'Now he's be

It's the long pauses and wobbly words that give it away when they talk about him. Fifty years have passed, but those who knew and played with Tim Horton miss him just as much as when it happened: Feb. 21, 1974, when he rolled his Pantera over the

No one had done it before, and no one has done it since - but for three brief years in the 1980s, one man ascended the hockey hierarchy to climb from linesman to NHL team owner.His name was Harry Ornest, and almost 40 years after he took control of the St. Louis Blues, his story has become a footnote in hockey history.Fans who do remember him for saving the club from a dispersal draft often think of him as a bull in a china shop who ran the Blues, and later the CFL’s Toronto Argonauts, with a qu

Much was expected of Reggie Leach in 1976 when the Flyers entered the playoffs in search of their third consecutive Stanley Cup title. After leading the NHL during the regular season with 61 goals, his offensive firepower was crucial if the Broad Street Bullies were to add more hardware to their trophy case.Leach understood the assignment. Through the first two rounds, he scored 15 goals in 12 games, including an astonishing five-goal performance against Boston, to tie Yvan Cournoyer's record se

You've heard of football's Puppy Bowl; now get ready for hockey's version: the Stanley Pup. It seems the play on words was just too hard to resist for the NHL, which will host its version of a rescue dog competition featuring not only canine stars but players like Nick Suzuki and Anze Kopitar and coach John Tortorella.'It's really entertaining, there are lots of puns, but it's a great show, and I think people will enjoy the entertainment,' said Matt Nicholson, the NHL's vice president of product

When the WNBA staged its second Canadian exhibition game earlier this month in Edmonton, it wasn't the league's accomplished veterans who captured the sell-out crowd's excitement.Hometown hero Kia Nurse was certainly the crowd favorite, but a close runner-up was a newcomer who had yet to set foot on WNBA hardwood: Cameron Brink.Brink, who the Sparks drafted second overall in 2024, is a part of the women's basketball boom ushered in by the likes of Sabrina Ionescu, Aaliyah Boston, Caitlin Clark,

It took Dan Bylsma only 49 games to accomplish what some coaches never get to do: lift the Stanley Cup. When Bylsma replaced Michel Therrien with 25 games left in the Pittsburgh Penguins' 2008-09 regular season, he was the youngest head coach in the league and a first-time NHL bench boss. But a Game 7 win over the Detroit Red Wings in the final capped the team's subsequent turnaround and put Bylsma in a rare club of rookie NHL coaches to win a Stanley Cup.No one has joined those ranks since. Byl

It was the summer of 1997 and Day 1 of NHL free agency was one minute away from closing. Charlie Lyons, then chairman and CEO of the Colorado Avalanche, was looking forward to a bike trip in the Rockies with his childhood friends while basking in the success of his new side gig as a film producer. His rookie film, 'Air Force One' starring Harrison Ford, opened 10 days earlier and sat atop the box office. Not too bad a summer for a guy who spent the preceding offseason celebrating a Stanley Cup v

He made a name by throwing punches and hits, but that wasn't what made Dennis Bonvie a legend.When he retired in 2008 after a 15-season pro hockey career, he'd amassed an unassailable record of 4,493 penalty minutes in the American Hockey League,

In Jessica Campbell's rearview mirror, all roads lead back to her 10-year-old self. The first woman to coach full time in the AHL, and one of the first women to work a game behind an NHL bench, Campbell spent the first decade of her life living an idyllic, rural Canadian existence that included hockey, family, and more hockey.'When she was small we lived miles from town - on a farm - and she would say, 'Can we go skating tonight?' and it'd be a blizzard,' Campbell's mom Monique says.
