It was QUITE the labor of love, and I'm so proud of it 😊 now proudly displayed on my ever-growing hockey wall 💖 details on how I made it are in the 5th picture!

Based on a picture I took at a game last season 😊

Portland Winterhawks have received a conditional 2027 3rd Round Pick and a Conditional 2029 Fifth Round Pick from the Medicine Hat Tigers for the Playing Rights of Mace'o Phillips.

Mace'o is a 6'6" 234 pound, 07 Born Defenseman. He put up 11 points (1 goal, 10 assists) in the 44 games in the USHL for the Green Bay Gamblers last season, where he was an alternate Captain. Mace'o was drafted in the 3rd Round of the 2025 Draft by the Calgary Flames.

Melicherik is a big forward at 6'2" and 190 pounds. Last season as a 15 year old playing in the Liiga U18 league he totaled 55 points (29 goals, 26 assists) in just 43 games. He also represented Slovakia at the U18 World Cup (the youngest player in the tournament), where he played in 10 games picking up 2 points, 1 goal and 1 assist on the way to a silver medal. Melicherik is a shoot-first forward and is a highly touted prospect. The biggest question is whether or not he will choose to be in Portland for his Junior career.

I'm almost done with the beading, then I'll be moving to the last part (the net!) before framing 😊

The Portland Winterhawks have acquired the WHL playing rights to 2007-born forward Mason West (Selected in the 1st Round of the 2025 Draft by the Chicago Blackhawks), in exchange for a 2028 First-Round Pick (Cond.), and a 2030 Seventh-Round Pick. West will be in his 19-year old season this fall. A 6'6" 218 pound Forward, West scored 10 goals and had 15 assists in 38 games played for the Fargo Force of the USHL last season. While he hasn't been officially signed, one would assume that a trade for a player of this caliber's rights at the cost of a first round pick, would mean the team feels good about getting him to sign on. I can't find any information on what the condition on the First Round pick is, but it's possible that the condition is if he does sign.

The Portland Winterhawks are trading defenseman Griffin Darby (08) to the Moose Jaw Warriors for a 1st Round 2027 CHL Import Draft pick, 2nd Round 2028 pick (via LET), 5th Round 2027 pick, and a 6th Round 2028 pick.

I had this docuseries configured to record on my Xfinity DVR. I watched the first two episodes, but episode 3 (released on 05/23/2026) is just the same content as episode 2.

Is this a me only problem, or is this affecting other users?

Even if I try to go to www.xfinity.com/stream and watch episode 3 there, it's the same as episode 2.

Am I the only one that feels like we need more solid defensemen?
Or
Is it the coaching that’s leaving us open in front of the net?
