5 Newmarket Royals Still Active in Pro Hockey For 2009-10

As the Cornwall Royals morphed into the Sarnia Sting in the early 1990′s, they made a two year stop in Newmarket. During the 1992-93 and 1993-94 seasons, the team was known as the Newmarket Royals. It’s unfortunate that the team didn’t hold out for a few more years and wait for the Barrie Colts to join the league. The Colts and Royals would have made a great geographical rivalry. Out of all the players that donned a Newmarket Royal jersey over the two seasons, 5 are still active in professional hockey.

Alan Letang played in Newmarket for both 1992-93 and 1993-94. He was a true franchise player, playing in Cornwall in 1991-92 and Sarnia in 1994-95. He went on to play a total of 14 games in the NHL, split between the Dallas Stars, Calgary Flames and New York Islanders. Alan was originally drafted by the Montreal Canadiens. Alan is currently playing in the Austrian Elite League with Zagreb Medvescak KHL.

Edmonton Oilers Hockey Trivia of the 1980s

In the mid to late 1980s, from 1984-1989, the Edmonton Oilers won 4 out of 5 Stanley Cups. They were led by The Great One’s Wayne Gretzky. Joining Gretzky were many other great players including Mark Messier, Paul Coffey, Jari Kurri, Kevin Lowe, Glenn Anderson, and Grant Fuhr.

The Oilers were absolutely dominant as they won the Cup in 1984, 1985, 1987, and 1988. Gretzky won the Art Ross award 7 straight times. He also won many Hart Trophies. He broke the record for most assists and most points in a season. He would reset the assists record 3 more times and the record for most points once more.

It was amazing to watch the Edmonton Oilers as they skated circles around their competition during their dominant years. The Oilers came very close to beating the Calgary Flames in 1986. Had they done that, they may very well have won the Cup that year too.

The Oilers lost to the Flames in a very competitive 7 game series. In

Vancouver Canucks Tickets – Canucks Prove Playoff Viability In Long Road Trip

Could this be the year the Vancouver Canucks take home the coveted Stanley Cup Trophy? If their recent performance on a record-breaking road trip is any indication, it may be. The team set an NHL record for a 14-game streak of road games that began on Jan. 30 and ended on March 10, the longest streak of road games in league history. Road games make it notoriously difficult for teams to build momentum, but the Canucks responded brilliantly by coming away with a record of 8-5-1. The league took notice, leading to many analysts commending the performance and dissecting what it means for the playoffs.

The road trip saw the team crisscrossing North America, hitting spots as near as Montreal and as far away as Tampa Bay, Fla. and Phoenix, Ariz.  The National Hockey League’s website talked to the players about their favorite parts of the road trip, and Tanner Glass and Alex Burrows both agreed that their favorite city to visit was Chicago.
