Future Stars USHL Edition Hockeyology by Russ_Cohen - September 30, 2018September 30, 20180 Here are some younger players to watch: Danil Gushchin – 5-9, 161 – Muskegon - He’s a 2002 birthdate. This Russian has speed, feistiness on defense, enough to play the PK. He had a goal and an assist in one period but has been solid every time I’ve seen him. Sean Farrell

2018 Flyers Rookie Camp Observations Hockeyology by Russ_Cohen - September 10, 2018September 10, 20180 David Kase – 5-10, 170 – RW – I’ve always liked his stickhandling ability, but he’s gotten faster. Add that to his already tricky arsenal and now you have a much-improved prospect. He played well in the SHL last season. He’s probably Phantoms bound but it’s not impossible that he

The NFL May Drop in Boxing-Like Proportions in The Coming Decades Footballology by Russ_Cohen - July 20, 2018July 21, 20180 The NFL is the #1 sport in the United States. No other sport is close. eSports isn’t a sport, so let’s leave that out. Millennials think baseball is boring and Nascar is dropping, so that leave the NBA, NHL, and Soccer. Everybody will agree that boxing isn’t in the same
Maksim Sushko Lets His Play Do the Talking Hockeyology by Russ_Cohen - July 6, 2018July 11, 20180 Maksim Sushko is a Flyers draftee who rarely comes up in discussion.

Last winter the 6-0, 179-pound right winger
Tracking the NTDP in the 2018 NHL Draft Hockeyology by Ryan Biech - June 22, 20180 The most fascinating group of players in this draft class has to be the USNDTP.

On the back-end, Bode Wilde was always seen
