Yesterday, Pierre LeBrun of ESPN wrote an article documenting off-ice issues surrounding the NHL. This is of interest to me, because I think that this is a vastly undercovered subject in hockey writing circles. Here at Jewels, we have been known to chime in, and there are always a few sites here and there that write quality pieces when the situation calls for it. Unfortunately, at the national level, we haven't seen big players in the game covering things seriously.
When LeBrun released a piece that sort of tied a bunch of ends together, I was interested. Asking players about what's going on off the ice!
