a cover like no other
WHEN ONE OF MY colleagues floated the idea of putting Gritty on the cover of this issue, my guts did an eye roll. I consider myself open-minded, a manager by consensus, but this was a test of my leadership philosophy. A frivolous, fictional, furry, freaky gimmick occupying our most valuable real estate? I’ve never been drawn to mascots (except for the time Greg Brady stole Raquel the goat from archrival Coolidge High. That was awesome). Mostly, I’ve tolerated them, viewing them as garnish to the entree.After my wave of skepticism subsided, I listened and agreed to put it to our editorial group for consideration. I braced for a spirited dialogue, anticipating the old guard and the young pups to lock horns. It never happened. We had unanimity. The rise and flight…
there’s no place like home for the hockey news
(PHOTO BY MICHELLE VALBERG)Dear readers,For close to 20 years, The Hockey News has shared office space with employees of other magazine brands owned by my predecessors, TVA and Transcontinental.I remember on one visit to TVA after I acquired The Hockey News, I saw my new colleagues surrounded by the editorial staffs of Canadian Living, Style at Home and Elle.

I did this so we could manage the transition of ownership and immediately implement improvements that all of our readers are currently experiencing.In the months leading up to the one-year anniversary…

change worth betting on
GIVEN THE TOWN’S association with Silicon Valley, San Jose was the perfect spot for a host of NHL executives, partners and professionals to get together and talk tech during the All-Star Game weekend this year.The main attraction at the NHL’s Innovation Spotlight was player- and puck-tracking technology, something that has wide-ranging applications for the way fans may enjoy the sport in the future. The summit also brought an opportunity to have fun at the expense of the NHL’s infamous foray into technology, the 1996 introduction of the “glowing puck” on Fox television broadcasts. “The glowing puck wasn’t ready,” said commissioner Gary Bettman. “Sometimes it was on the puck, but sometimes it was in the stands or on someone’s head.”More than 20 years later, the NHL demonstrated a new layer of…
behind the mask
STOLARZ AND ARTIST Dave Gunnarsson embrace the mania surrounding Gritty, already the NHL’s most popular mascot and maybe even the most famous in all of sport. The design’s 3-D effect makes it look like Gritty is bursting through the top of the mask. Before getting dealt to Edmonton Feb. 16. Stolarz was the third Flyers goalie to put Gritty on his lid this season, joining Calvin Pickard and Mike McKenna.(MASK BY DAVID GUNNARSSON/DAVEART.COM)…
