2024-2025 Around The League Part 2

The ice arena is owned by North Carolina State University, which uses it primarily for its CBB programme. It opened in 1999 and is pretty much a college-level sporting facility (NCSU's CFB stadium is across the parking lot), which explains why its opposing dressing room sucks. Things have gotten weird though because NCSU were the ones to build it, but Dundon has been given a lot of ownership/rights the past couple of years of the arena from the school to do renovations. I think he might be majority owner of the arena now.

A quote from a player in that article is gold:

"It used to be Carolina, but then they upgraded,” one player said. “And somehow it's still Carolina."

That's the guy we needed and I say this regardless of his stats in Detroit.

Coach you would least like to play for: Tortorella 38%

appealing a suspension should be like a coaches challenge, if you lose, it gets doubled.

I love this.

At some point, players should be really questing their union for defending this shit. I mean seriously, they do not give the union an insignificant amount of money. Exactly whose interest are being protected here? It certainly doesn't appear to be either the life or safety of the union's members.
