Seeing a lot of news about Streameast being shut down, when it was only one hosting platform. The site is still up in many different countries, and sports leagues know this. They don't care; this is just law enforcement trying to look competent to those who don't understand.

After Game 2 of the CHL:

Simon Johansson, a former Minnesota Wild prospect, has had an explosive weekend with 4 points with Ilves. He was key with the wins against ERC Ingolstadt and Belfast Giants. German teams are underperforming and Austrian teams are going great.

Despite the NHL draft being a disaster with the first round being more than 4 hours long and the weirdest interview-style I have seen in any sports medium, the majority of GM's voted for the style to come back for next year.

Sportsnet+, one of the main ways to stream hockey in Canada, is increasing the price 30% and adding nothing. The new price is $324.99, $80 increase. Insane disconnect and will only push people to pirate.

Some news, Handball Canada has been officially recognized as a National Sports Organization (NSO) by Sport Canada. This means they will get federal funding. Handball was the only sport in the Olympics not recognized by Sport Canada. #Canada
