A New Era of Access
The Hockey News has just unlocked its entire historical archive for subscribers, granting fans a rare window into seven decades of hockey journalism, statistics and storytelling.
Central to this month’s rollout is the publication’s highly anticipated Top 100 Players ranking, a definitive list that evaluates the league’s current elite based on performance, impact and historic significance.
Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck climbs to No. 11 on the list, a testament to his dominant play between the pipes and his .956 save percentage during the recent Olympic tournament.
The ranking also shines a spotlight on several other standout Winnipeg contributors, including defenseman Josh Morrissey, center Mark Scheifele and winger Kyle Connor, each of whom continues to shape the team’s competitive edge.
Beyond the Manitoba capital, the list recognizes Quinn Hughes of the Vancouver Canucks for his exceptional playmaking vision and his heavy workload that sees him logging extensive ice time night after night.
In Minnesota, Kirill Kaprizov stands as the Wild’s all‑time leading goal‑scorer, a milestone that underscores his consistent offensive brilliance since joining the NHL.
Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski earns praise for leading his club in scoring while averaging more than 26 minutes of ice time per game, a rare combination of durability and offensive contribution.
Veteran Sidney Crosby further cements his legacy by extending his record for the most point‑per‑game seasons, a feat that continues to inspire both teammates and rivals alike.
Looking Ahead
With the archive now fully open, subscribers can explore deeper narratives, compare historic performances and gain richer context around the achievements that shape today’s game.
