Publisher’s Notebook

NO. 2: ALL TIME

SINCE 1947, THERE HAVE been a total of 19 publishers of The Hockey News during these past 77 years. When I acquired the magazine, I joined that list at the very bottom. As these past six-plus years, or eighty months, have passed, I have slowly climbed that list, passing other publishers, who have also passionately cared for The Hockey News, to where I now sit in the No. 2 all-time spot, second only to Ken McKenzie.

TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS

BY CASEY IPPOLITO PREDICTION | 2ND IN ATLANTIC ONE SEASON REMOVED FROM winning their first playoff series in 19 years, the Maple Leafs returned to a familiar script: a dramatic and devastating first-round exit.

Enter Craig Berube, who helmed St. Louis to the Stanley Cup in 2019. Under Berube, Toronto will likely score fewer goals at 5-on-5 as they adopt a style that’s more aligned with the playoff grind. >OFFENSE As top-heavy as ever, Toronto’s forward group returns with downgraded…
