Welcome
Welcome to The Faceoff Circle, a hockey blog written by Jeff Veillette. The Faceoff Circle covers some of the most interesting news, analysis, speculation, and trends in the hockey world.

The Faceoff Circle is in early release mode, so check back in the coming weeks as the site continues to build out.
