The NHL Education Foundation Mandate

For the inaugural post here at The NHL Education Foundation, we would just like to inform you as to the goals, ideology and brains behind the project.

Constructed by Kieran Jones and Matthew Moxley, the pride of Almonte, Ontario (home of illustrious NHL'er Kent Huskins), The NHL Education Foundation is here to fill a void in the hockey blog world. There are thousands of serious, analytical and critical blogs which exist, talking about all things hockey from the Columbus Blue Jackets minor-leaguers to the curve on Pavel Datsyuk's stick. This blog is different. We will aim to talk about things which no one else does. We don't claim to have any inside knowledge, no game-breaking facts, no personal heart-to-heart interviews with your favourite star, but what we will have is plenty of conjecture and a light-hearted take on news and events in the NHL. While tsn.ca/nhl will be reporting on the Maple Leafs signing Tyler Bozak, we'll give you an update on the 5 best mousatches in the NHL. On thehockeynews.com you'll hear about the Bruins vs. Canadians playoff matchup citing numbers, stats and, here on the NHLEF, you'll hear about who Claude Julien and Bob Gainey should put out to drop the gloves, based purely on what we think the most ridiculous fights would be.
The NHL Education Foundation aims to provide a platform for our often inane chatter, but it is also about the readers. With an open forum, we encourage feedback and suggestions.
Onto the Playoffs!
