Welcome back to THE DROP PASS, your week in review of everything Offside News Co. Every edition will recap hockey news, from our team-focused columns to podcasts and everything in between.
Happy Easter! Chag Pesach Sameach!
This week is a special Easter Monday edition of The Drop Pass — although there’s nothing really special about it, other than the fact that as I write this, I have the day off tomorrow. But you know who else has day off tomorrow? Patrick Roy! Following a four game losing streak, the New York Islanders fired the former Canadiens goalie and hired noted goalie-nightmare Pete DeBoer. Get behind me, Sorokin!
From co-managing editor Katrina, currently in CHINA and supposed to be on VACATION:

STICK TAPS 🏒
At Offside News Co, it is our core belief that those with a voice or platform should use said platform to support those in need.
As the cost of living increases, more and more of our neighbours will be unable to afford groceries. If our governments are not willing to support their constituents, we must support each other.
We encourage readers to support their local food banks — below are links to locate your local food bank for both Canadian and American readers. 🍏
See You Next Week!
