JERSEY HOUND
CAROLINA HURRICANES | 2018-19 Oh, the glorious whale has returned! Sure, it might chafe some hardcore Hartford fans, but the Carolina Hurricanes have finally given the rest of the hockey world what it wanted – a throwback Hartford Whalers jersey that the team will wear twice this season.

STOPPING PUCKS, LIKE DAD
PLAYING GOAL RUNS IN the family, but a young Olivier Rodrigue didn’t get much help from his father when he started learning his craft. After a pro career that peaked with one playoff game with the AHL’s Hershey Bears in 1997, Sylvain Rodrigue turned to coaching. By the time Olivier was nine, dad was spending his winters working with teams in Europe while the family stayed back in Montreal, keeping in touch via FaceTime. The Oilers made a surprise trade to choose Rodrigue with the 62nd overall pick in the 2018 NHL draft. And it wasn’t long before he came face to face with his father, who is now Edmonton’s goaltender development coach, at the team’s summer development camp. “The first time I heard my dad say, ‘Hello, my name is…
