His father drove a truck and his mother worked in a bottling factory. Money was tight and small luxuries - such as a pair of squeaky new white running shoes with the coolest blue Velcro strap Parminder Singh had ever seen - were items to be treasured.

Throughout the years, there has not been very many NHL franchises that could boast the quality lineups that the Philadelphia Flyers has put out on the ice.

Year after year, decade after decade, the Flyers were able to find a few diamonds in the rough, more than their fair share of franchise players and a few Hall of Fame inductees along the way.

The Blackhawks continue to stay in the good graces of the Illinois Tollway, sending winger Bryan Bickell back to their American Hockey League affiliate in Rockford.

Bickell's tolls are closing is on the bill racked up by Jack Skille at the start of the season, when he yo-yo'd between the minors and NHL.

That said, I think there are a few issues they need to address to be better. I see lots of fingers being pointed in bizarre directions as to the root cause of some problems. I think we have to see the problems for what they really are.

The Avalanche look to match a team record for consecutive home wins to open a season Friday night against the Chicago Blackhawks, who could have captain Jonathan Toews back on the ice.

A new hockey book says the NHL's Edmonton Oilers and Toronto Maple Leafs almost traded cities in the early 1980s.

The biography of one-time Oilers owner Peter Pocklington says the scheme called for the entire team to move to Toronto to play in Maple Leaf Gardens.

The Leafs, in turn, would have found a home in Edmonton's new arena, which at that time was called the Coliseum.
