Northeastern looks at replacing venerable arena
The Huntington News reports that Northeastern is considering whether to build a new arena to replace Matthews Arena, which in its more than 100 years of history has been home to not just Northeastern teams but, back when it was called the Boston Arena, the Celtics and Bruins. Read more.

What’s the backstory on someone with a resume like his finishing out his career by randomly playing a few games for a 2nd division team called the Squirrels in a hockey backwater?

David Schill
He was born in Kitchener Ontario. Schill spent 4 years in the OHL playing with the London Knights, Toronto Marlboros, Hamilton Dukes and finally for his hometown Kitchener Rangers where he backed up Mike Torchia. On February 1 1992, the Toronto Maple Leafs depth chart was tested. Rick Wamsley was forced to leave the team with the news of his father's passing. Felix Potvin was next in line, but he was down with an injury. Damian Rhodes received the call but he was snowed in on the east coast. The call went out to Schill who was playing with the Brantford Smoke of the CoHL. He was at the airport in Toronto ready to catch a flight and replace Rhodes in Newfoundland on an emergency basis. The Leafs redirected Schill to Maple Leafs Gardens to backup Grant Fuhr in a game against the New Jersey Devils that evening.

Today in 1959, Rangers goalie Marcel Paille became the first NHL goalie to attempt to use a full "modern" face shield mask.

Both jerseys are criminally underrated IMO

I'm gonna have to disagree with you, there.
That Pens' one with with the big robo-Penguin was all right -- I think the Penguin-logo there is better than the typical (rather wimpy-looking one) that they previously and typically use. However, the mid-90s-ish design details on it are very unattractive. There are too may colors (as is typical of this mid-/late-90s period of re-designed jerseys). I don't want to see gray on a Penguins' jersey! There are at least 5 different tones on Lemieux's chest, which is at least 2 too many for a hockey jersey.
And those Blues one from c.1995-1997... UGH!! They looked like dog-crap. There is WAY too much red on those jerseys. Ideally, there is no red whatsoever on a St. Louis Blues' jersey. Jersey lines at odd angles (like those red lines under the blue-note) just look terrible. Then, the angle of all those lines crowds out the blue-note itself, shrinking its space, and making the jersey look crowded and "busy", which is always a bad look for a hockey top.
I personally liked the Blues' jerseys more around the late 80s (?) when they were much simper and dispensed with the red entirely:
But at least Mike Keenan (in one of his more sober moments) had the good judgement to refuse to allow his club to wear this:
