Daniel Carcillo wants to help ex-NHL players plan for life after hockey – Second City Hockey
I want to be snarky about how Carcillo wants to help NHL players plan for life after hockey when he’s put that future at risk for other players with some of his antics, but there’s a twinge of sincerity that makes me not want to make fun of a player trying to do a good thing.

NHL forces marijuana company to change stock listing, is a bummer | Puck Daddy – Yahoo Sports
