Hi everyone! It’s that time of year again. Of course, I’m talking about the World Junior Championship, and to celebrate, I’ve added a brand new abomination to the Hockey Hall of Shame’s Overexposed wing. This week’s card comes from that utterly bizarre Upper Deck subset known as “National Heroes”, in which the players goof off in front of the camera and then live to regret their teenage behaviour for the rest of their lives. God bless the Internet!

There is also a brand new article about Seals defenseman Ron Stackhouse and his first season in the NHL. As a hockey writer and historian I’ve always liked articles like this, because they are small glimpses into the more mysterious and forgotten corners of a player’s career. It’s stuff like this that is fun to include in your writing.

Don’t forget to cast your votes for the newest inductees to the Seals Hall of Fame. You can vote up to three times per device, and you can find the nominees on the right side of the screen.

Since I will be away for the Christmas season, and I may or may not have Internet access, this will be the last update until January. Until then, I invite you to check out some classic Hall of Shame inductions such as the Toronto Maple Leafs’ atrocious all-white uniforms, that horrible hockey playing monkey movie, and the Apple USB Mouse that everyone has pretended never existed.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! All the best to you and your loved ones in 2019!
