    This might be up your alley with your focus on fitness and health. How about articles on Workout "Teams" and an analysis of who/how players workout with have translated to on ice performance.

    For example there are all the guys who work out with Gary Roberts which is probably the most well known, who are they? What kind of workouts do they do? When did they join the Gary Roberts team and did it translate to better play?

    Who are the other major workout gurus for hockey players?
    Are there groups of players who spend a lot of time off season training together?
    Which group has better fantasy players?

    Just some questions to get you thinking, hope you can come up with a great article on that.

    Valuating this year's short season production going into next year's full season. What breakout/struggles were real or due to the shortened season and lack of market correction.

    Interesting thought, thanks for this. Always interesting to connect the dots between training and success (and more than the vague "best shape of my life" statement we hear each camp).

    Most definitely - this is going to be a big focus.

    Interesting thought - in terms of players who have had success making the move? Neal, Nash, etc.

    Yes! Offensive zone positioning is what I am thinking, but I believe there is a lot to this topic. I think it would be fun to research and there is a ton of video evidence on YouTube that could be used in the article.
