It looked as if Nick Schmaltz had given the Hawks the lead. The crowd erupted, the goal horn began to sound and the light boards that surround the United Center started flashing. But Schmaltz hadn’t scored. His shot after a drive from the right circle hit Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy and went off the far […]

Jujhar Khaira learned hockey on the streets of Surrey, B.C., a Sikh kid and his little brother scoring their Game 7, Stanley Cup-winning goals while in runners, shooting a tennis ball. Khaira was no different than millions of Canadian kids, except for one thing: He would go on to score on the big stage Monday […]

One day, Al Montoya might be considered the Willie O’Ree of the Cuban-American community. Nothing would make him prouder.
