The undrafted Martin Jones is a third-string goalie for the L.A. Kings and it took him 149 AHL games to get his chance in the show. It finally came on Tuesday, Dec. 3 in Anaheim and the native of North Vancouver made his NHL debut a memorable one.

Former professional hockey players have announced a case against the NHL relating to head trauma injuries. This follows a similar case against the NFL a few months ago.

A class-action lawsuit that began with 10 former NHL players accusing the league of keeping players in the dark about the damaging effects of concussions has grown to more than 200 players, according to an attorney for the players.

Vancouver - Dallas came into Sunday's NHL game knowing it had to play good defense against Vancouver, one of the best offensive units in the NHL and despite allowing over 40 shots on goal, the Stars escaped the game with a 2-1 victory over the Canucks.

When Mimico, Ontario native David Clarkson signed a lucrative seven-year, $36 million contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs this past offseason, the former Devils winger could hardly hold his excitement to play for the team he grew up watching.

Detroit - Detroit made their debut in the Eastern Conference a success as the Red Wings topped Buffalo 2-1 at home to open play in the 2013-14 NHL season.

Philadelphia - The Toronto Maple Leafs have started the 2013-14 NHL season 2-0 after defeating Philadelphia 3-1 on Wednesday night behind the strong play of goalie Jonathan Bernier.

Some quotes came out of Philadelphia today from Chris Pronger. The giant defenceman is still suffering from severe post-concussion syndrome and it appears unlikely the 38-year-old will ever play again.

The Vancouver Canucks preseason schedule is over but that doesn't mean their roster is set. On Saturday, the club traded with the Carolina Hurricanes for young forwards Zac Dalpe, 23, and Jeremy Welsh, 25.

The hard-working local boy Mike Santorelli is doing and saying all the right things in his bid to make the team he cheered for growing up. From Burnaby, the 27-year-old Vancouver Canuck - for now - is impressing on and off the ice.
