Summer is traditionally a slow season for a lot of things, and being that this is mostly a hockey blog, it is doubly so for the sport. No dramas about where the big fish will sign (read: Ilya Kovalchuk and his adventures last year), no impending doom scenarios (NBA lockout this year), and nothing of major note to talk about (my own adventures). So, how does one fill time and space for this blog? Why, take a (virtual) trip to a land that doesn't produce many NHL players, past and present, of course. This week, it just so happens to be the country of Poland, as you can tell by the flag that is being shown, and if you didn't know that, now you know. Despite being in the Eastern Bloc of Europe, Poland doesn't quite churn out the NHL players that their counterparts in Russia do, but they do field a team for international play, and like many who do field a team, there are a handful of players who have, at some point or another, played in the NHL. Through the magic of research, I will do my best to write something about the players who have Polish origins this coming week (and longer, if needed).
