Then I made some mid-season award picks based purely on narratives, vibes, and how fun and fitting it would be for a given player to win--and riffed on how rare and special it is for NHL players to be Jewish.

In the first of what I hope will be an ongoing series, I went to a professional hockey game in Switzerland and wrote about fans, nonfans, and whether hockey is "fractal."
And then, most recently, I wrote about the origins of the advance stats vs experiential hockey knowledge debate, and how to think about where we are in the history of hockey metrics.
Coming up, I've got essays in the pipeline on the NHL's gestures towards progressive politics; what it means to be underrated; the aesthetics of Soviet hockey; and the decline of hockey's drinking culture. Stay tuned!
