So this year the NHL is going to do something a little different for the All Star Game. The voting of who’s elected as an All Star will remain the same but how the teams are divided is the key here. The NHL has gone about the separating the teams in the traditional conference vs. [...]

Chicago has not won a championship in any sport since [...]
