NHL Staff Writer, Pucky
Mike Holloway
Mike Holloway covers all 32 NHL teams for Pucky, from single-game recaps to season-long deep dives. Every story he files is built from Pucky's own statistical database — the same numbers behind the site's stat pages — so the claims in a piece can be checked against the tables that produced them. He writes the post-game recaps, the power shifts, the trade grades and the season reviews, and he would rather show the receipts than lean on a narrative.
Every Pucky story is written against the site's own statistical database and published under our editorial standards. Spotted something wrong? Tell us and we'll fix it on the record.
