Dear Hockey Recap Fam,

Bringing you the latest in hockey has been a true joy over the past two years, and your support has meant the world.

However, starting today, I’ll be hitting pause on the Hockey Recap newsletter for at least a month, possibly longer, as I shift my focus to helping hockey players, parents, and coaches with the upcoming Hockey Players Club relaunch.

This isn’t a goodbye, just a “see you later.” I look forward to returning to your inbox, but until then, thank you for being part of this journey.

Cheers! 🍻

Today’s lineup:

  • Sidney Crosby scores twice including OT winner

  • Martin Necas picks up 4 points in Bruins domination

  • Willy Nylander scores twice in Leafs win

  • Alex Ovechkin leads Caps past Habs
