Tweets of the Week
Columnist/Writer Adam Proteau @proteautype: This Halloween, I’m going as an NHL owner: I’m staying in, locking all my doors and showing kids the candy they can’t have through my window. Assoc. Senior Writer Ryan Kennedy @THNRyanKennedy: Working on a Nathan MacKinnon nickname. Thinking about ‘Riptide.’ He pulls in defenders before overwhelming them. Plus it’s Maritimey. Editor In Chief Jason Kay @JKTHN: Pouring through THN archives for a project. Love this ad from 1961 for a tobacco company: “Great Moments in Hockey, Great Moments in Smoking” Web Editor Rory Boylen @THNRoryBoylen: Why throw out a hockey sock when it gets a hole in it?

NHL Trilogy Stats Slasher
If NHL Lockout, Part III ends up lasting the entire season, Martin St-Louis will have lost $10 million for the three-part series. And there’s a good chance he’ll end up losing something no amount of money can replace – a plaque in the Hall of Fame. As the NHL and the NHL Players’ Association exchanged proposals and nasty words in mid-October, the focus was on how much money both sides had to lose by putting a $3.3-billion industry on the shelf for another season.

And you could argue nobody has more to lose than St-Louis, who was coming off a season in…
Belleville Barn Raising
Although the Belleville Memorial Arena has been closed for around two years, a group dedicated to refurbishing the 83-year-old barn hasn’t given up. The arena has sat idle since 2010 when its refrigeration units failed. Over that time, city council has been fielding proposals to repurpose the building, while the Belleville Memorial Arena Preservation Society has been fighting to restore it as an operational rink. Memorial Arena, built in 1929, was named Hume Arena until the end of the Second World War when it was renamed to commemorate the Canadian Armed Forces. In the late 1950s, the building was home to the Belleville McFarlands, a senior team that won the Allan Cup in ’58 and the World Championship in ’59. It remained Belleville’s main rink until 1978 when the Yardmen Arena was…
