I had the opportunity to attend the NHL awards at the Palms Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada last Wednesday.

Prior to the actual show, fans were invited to gather around the red carpet, where players, their families, and the NHL's top dogs walked en route to the Pearl Concert Theater.Many of the nominees and regular season winners ...

Two weeks ago the New York Jets were all but dead. The fans, yours truly, and even Head Coach Rex Ryan admitted defeat for what was thought to be the teams' post-season aspirations. However, due to some unlikely situations, the team found itself needing just one win in its stadium's finale to punch its ticket to the playoffs for the first time in three years.

Eight years ago, New York City and the world stopped to watch the events that had taken place on the morning of 9/11. Humanity as a whole had been changed as thousands of lives and hundreds of towns had been turned upside forever.

On Wednesday, Alexander Ovechkin visited the NHL store in New York City and I had the pleasure being right in the thick of things. Ovechkin arrived in grand fashion as he drove a zamboni for a block which featured the cover of NHL2K10 on which he appears on.
Ovechkin then signed autographs for those lucky enough to snag a pre-order of the game which hits shelves next week. While I was ...
