THANKFUL TO FEEL THE FEELS

75TH SEASON SUCCESS

THE NHL’S CREASE CRISIS • The number of elite NHL goaltenders appears to be shrinking. How should teams put a stop to the problem?

BEHIND THE MASK

JERSEY HOUND

HEATER-O-METER • Even though they lost in the final, the Bolts joined the pantheon of all-time greats. But they still trail the remarkable series runs by the Isles and Habs

IN THE CARDS

PUCK CULTURE

THN AWARDS • We polled the THN family to find out who deserved to be recognized in 2021-22. And while the flashy offense of McDavid stole the show, Shesterkin and Slavin made sure the spotlight also shone on ‘D’

NOT-SO-SECRET WEAPON • Today’s NHL players need to be aware of the power of social media and how it can help – and hurt – them on and off the ice

TOP 10 NHL MOMENTS OF 2021-22 • From brand-new teams to old rivalries reborn, from record-breaking performances to jaw-dropping plays, this season was chock-full of memorable storylines

MOUNTAINTOP MACKINNON • A lot of special traits helped Nathan MacKinnon and the juggernaut Avalanche finally exorcise their second-round demons to reach the NHL’s greatest summit. Skill, speed and power formed the on-ice foundation. Passion, force and execution honed the craft. And, ok, maybe even an In-N-Out burger or two helped bring it all together

SERIES IN PHOTOS

CHAMPIONS ISSUE • Individual awards are nice, but ask any player and they’ll tell you what they really desire is a team title, the culmination of a season’s worth of scars and sacrifice. In the following pages, we celebrate those ultimate victories from across North America and around the world

WELCOME TO THE CLUB • Finland finding gold-medal glory at the 2022 Worlds and its captain joining the triple gold club added to the quickly growing list of accomplishments for the national team this year

A WINNER IN WOLVES’ CLOTHING • Coming off a Championship in the Swedish League in 2021, Jack Drury delivered a title-worthy encore by leading Chicago to its third Calder Cup

CSKA ON THE WAY • More than 30 years after defecting from Russia’s National Team, Fedorov guided CSKA to Gagarin Cup glory

THE ROAD BACK • Rubin Tyumen went from champs to nearly folding and back again. Now, they’ll try to survive a talent exodus to the KHL

FIT AND FINNISH • Powerhouses ultimately ruled the day in Finland’s Liiga, but some minnows began the long swim upstream, too

THREE IN A ROW IN FOUR-YEAR RUN • Kettera completed an unconventional three-peat while its final opponent made progress on a bigger goal

START SLOW, END STRONG • Farjestad fired its coach midway through a sputtering season, then channeled the ‘mitell effect’ to a championship

DISCONTENT TO DOMINANCE • HV71 was too much for Sweden’s second-tier league, and they proved it all season long

UNCONVENTIONAL BUT EFFECTIVE • Tthe Sea Dogs made some unpopular decisions and took the long road to the Memorial Cup, but you can’t argue with success

PIONEERING SUCCESS • Powered by junior goalie Magnus Chrona – and maybe a little help from above – Denver tied an NCAA Men’s Hockey record with its ninth Frozen Four Championship

‘RIGHT PEOPLE, RIGHT TIME’ • Spurred on by a bold pre-season proclamation, Ohio State found the perfect combination to capture the program’s first national title in its 22-year history

SIOUX CITY SURPRISE • The Musketeers weren’t the favorites, but thanks in large part to 2022 prospect Dylan James, they’re the champs

N.J. SHOWS IT’S TOO FIT TO QUIT • Strength and conditioning play a key factor in Titans’ first NAHL...
