Canadian Six-Pack

NHL

At the end of each month, TSN.ca ranks and breaks down Canada's six Canadian NHL teams based on their performance, and provides a look ahead to key games.

For November, there was one team that ran away from the rest - and it wasn't the Ottawa Senators.

NHL All-Star Game

Fan balloting is underway for the 2008 NHL All-Star Game, to be played on Jan. 27 in Atlanta. Penguins superstar Sidney Crosby leads the way in votes, while Vancouver's Roberto Luongo and Montreal's Andrei Markov are making strong pushes for the starting lineup. Voting ends on Jan. 2.

TradeCentre 2007-08

The NHL trade deadline is Feb. 26 at 3pm et/Noon pt. Get a complete list of all the deals made, along with breaking trades with TSN.ca's news alerts and all the names being rumoured.

2008 NHL Entry Draft

All eyes will be scouting the class of 2008 for the NHL Entry Draft in Ottawa next June. Sarnia Sting forward Steven Stamkos tops the list of prospects in TSN's early survey, and also leads the way in the ISS rankings.

The Next 'Next One?'

There's a new kid on the block in the hockey world, and his name is John Tavares. Just a few years after Sidney Crosby took the Canadian Hockey League by storm, the teenage phenom seems to be building up the same level of hype - and at a younger age. And he's not even eligible for the NHL Entry Draft - where he's projected to easily go No. 1 - until 2009.
