  • After failing to make the final cut for the US WJC roster, Michael McCarron is back with the London Knights. McCarron says: "They don’t want me, then it is their loss and I can’t focus on that. I am back here now with the Knights, super excited to be back with the boys and ready to make a push for the playoffs." [London Community News]

  • A 2014 Habs retrospective. Montreal finished the year with 50 points, enough to make us fifth in the league. It's been a good year for Price and Paciorettty, while young(er) players like Galchenyuk and Beaulieu have promising years ahead of them. [RDS] (French)

Fabulous. [NPR]
