WE DID IT. WE SURVIVED JANUARY.
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.
The Olympic break is just around the corner, so enjoy these NHL shenanigans while you can. And outdoor games — we continue to be buried in snow and outdoor games (both of the NHL and NCAA variety).
THIS WEEK IN HOCKEY…
Thank you to our lovely staff for these headlines!

HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH
February is Black History Month and we wanted to highlight past articles throughout the month that offer Black perspectives on the sport and/or highlight the efforts and achievements of Black hockey players both past and present.
STORIES OF RESILIENCE
In times of war, sports can act as a spark that keeps joy and hope alight within a nation. Jordan Psarras writes about the resilience of Ukrainian hockey throughout increased oppression.

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. Like many, we have been horrified to see the violence being face by Minnesota’s immigrant community and devastated by the murders of Renee Good, Alex Pretti, Keith Porter Jr., and so many others at the hands of ICE.
While we have no direct affiliation with the shared charities, we encourage readers to donate and support their neighbours however they can.
See You Next Week!
Offside News Co is not-for-profit, personally-run collective, but websites do cost money! If you enjoy our content, please consider purchasing from our store or donating so we can keep the lights on in this arena.
