2021 comes to a close

Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs
Not matter what you make of 2021, it was a year none of us will forget.

Just think about the things we witnessed over the past 12 months. The Sea Dogs didn't play their first game of the year until March 9 and food and drinks were banned at what ended up being their final home game. The team played in a provincial championship into May. Everyone entering a QMJHL building had to show proof of vaccination. Oh, and the franchise was finally awarded the hosting rights to a Memorial Cup tournament.

That's just a few of the bizarre/remarkable things we saw. The Mooseheads and Eagles opted out of the "playoffs." The Titan and Islanders played a playoff series in Shawinigan. The Tigres surprisingly won the President Cup while the OHL and WHL did not name a league champion.

What a year. And let's face it - a lot of these things really sucked. Hopefully 2022 will be filled with more enjoyable, memorable moments. Those hit different.

With the year coming to a close, here's a look at our most read posts from the past 12 months.

Thank you for reading and may 2022 bring more hockey news than news news.
